“What is our relationship to history and how can we consider the question of our cultural representation today?” The question comes from Tahitian-American artist Alexander Lee, who collaborates with students and faculty members from The Centre des Métiers d’Art – Te Pu Haapiiraa Toroa Rima i (CMA), an art school in Tahiti dedicated to teaching students traditional and contemporary art and craft from French Polynesia. The exhibition, titled MANAVA, consists of contemporary Polynesian art from Tahiti and will open at WUHO on Saturday, Dec. 6, at 6 p.m. The exhibition revisits the history and heritage of Polynesia as lived by the students and teachers of the CMA, through sculpture, painting, weaving, engraving, photography, video, and installations. The works were originally exhibited at the Musée de Tahiti et des Îles – Te Fare Manaha (MTI), in Punaauia, Tahiti in 2013. The exhibition is made possible through subsidies from the government of French Polynesia, CMA’s partnership with international flagship carrier Air Tahiti Nui, and the support of the School of Architecture of Woodbury University.
