FALE SĀ / SACRED HOUSE explores the precarious notion of home

A powerful new exhibition at HOME brings together a collection of striking digital art, each exploring some of the major issues impacting Pacific peoples.

FALE SĀ / SACRED HOUSE highlights how the concept of home is a precarious notion for cultures in a constant state of motion and displacement. The exhibition invites a collective of FAFSWAG artists to create a site for ceremonial transformation, imagining a future HOME for our celestial bodies, sacred objects, ancestral stories and collective gatherings.

Each digital artwork offers a unique and highly personal perspective on the issues faced by Pacific peoples, as different styles of storytelling and transmission are woven together in a living archive of cultural knowledge and experience.

The exhibition raises questions about the nature of our relationships with our communities, our environment, and the constantly expanding cosmos, as artists directly access ancestral memories to craft collective stories and envision Indigenous futures.

Curated by FAFSWAG, featuring Tanu Gago, Tapuaki Helu, Nahora Ioane, Māhia TeKore, Pati Tyrell and Jaimie Waititi, FALE SĀ / SACRED HOUSE was launched as part of this year’s Manchester International Festival, and will be on display at HOME until Sun 10 Aug.
