CONGRATULATIONS Torika!
Torika was in New Zealand briefly to participate in a workshop on militarism and the Pacific at Victoria University in Wellington where she finally got her hands on the Fiji Times publication!

Torika Bolatagici‘s photographic work, Protect Me (2009) was donated to the Tautai Trust Tsunami Relief Auction held at Webb’s on Tuesday 20 October. It was sold to a private buyer and 100% of the funds raised were donated to the Samoa Tsunami Relief Fund.
CONGRATULATIONS TORIKA!
The Fiji Times exhibition has been reviewed on Cafe Pacific HERE
Vinaka vakalevu!
An anonymous comment notes…
A modern Pacific fusion, with LGBT graphical representation, with strong influences of vagina monologues and Jackson Pollack undertones, wrapped in political satire, with a twist of impartial bias.
The sun has set on the FIJI TIMES exhibition… Torika Bolatagici Vetuna’s beautiful photo media work has been donated to the Tautai Trust Tsunami Relief Auction and Luisa Tora’s poster will be on it’s way shortly to its new home in Christchurch, New Zealand! Congratulations artists, vinaka vakalevu supporters, thank you so much Naomi Singer and Nicole Lim, respected colleagues. A great project… thank you all so much.
And another Fiji womens exhibition is in the pipeline…
The last day of the FIJI TIMES exhibition at The Salon is Wednesday 14 October. The Salon will be open from 12-6pm with artists Luisa Tora and Sangeeta Singh.
A wonderful evening marking the eve of Fiji Day in Auckland City!
