Our Bodies Are Memories of Our Bodies: Siapo ma Solo

siapo—indigenous Samoan barkcloth abstraction—and solo—poetry in the Samoan genre and worldview, here composed in English—by Fa’afafine, non-binary Samoan artist Dan Taulapapa McMullin. Printed on cloth with ink painting, these works embody the fa’asamoa understanding that the body itself is an archive, carrying ancestral and personal memory through the mana of social and environmental relationships.

May 9 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm -
Adults - $19, Students and Seniors - $14, Children (3–12) - $8, -- Free on Tuesday - Wednesday, 1:00  - 4:00  p.m.
