Artists work on 25m printed tapa

New Zealand artist Dame Robin White and Tongan artist Ruha Fifita are working on their next project.

It is an impressive 25m ngatu (painted tapa) titled ‘The Avenue’.

The artwork is part of their Ko e Hala Hangatonu (The Straight Path) series and will be exhibited at the National Gallery of Victoria in Australia.

The impressive ngatu honours traditional Tongan design while incorporating contemporary themes.
