This weekend will see 40 women from Tuvalu and accompanying men with drums descend on Whangārei in traditional dress to open a kaleidoscopic exhibition at the Whangārei Art Museum (WAM).
The Fafetu exhibition begins Saturday and will comprise brightly-coloured woven pattern star shapes created by Tuvaluan master artist Lakiloko Keakea and the Tuvaluan group Fafine Niutao I Aotearoa.
