In Fiji in the 19th century, British colonisers banned veiqia, the traditional practice of female tattooing that marked a girl’s transition to womanhood. The Veiqia Project is a research collective inspired by this tradition, and as a part of its residency at Campbelltown Arts Centre, it’s collaborating with 10 female artists from Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand for an entirely artist-led exhibition that celebrates the rejuvenation of iTaukei (Indigenous Fijian) culture.

Within the exhibition find a vale ni soqo (village meeting house), a space where Pasifika communities gather to learn and share knowledge.
