Pacific Island cultures have a long tradition of using bark cloth painting as a way of telling stories and recording events in a visual way that can be understood across time and language. Auckland artist Cerisse Palalagi argues that in today’s urban environment, texting, tagging and digital media have taken on this role. She explores these ideas in her new exhibition at City Gallery Wellington.

Motunei, which runs from 19 June to 12 September in the Deane Gallery, showcases new works inspired by the resurgence in interest in Niuean hiapo (bark cloth painting), and has been developed in response to John Pule’s exhibition John Pule: Hauaga (Arrivals) also showing at City Gallery.
