Workshop with Torika Bolatagici and Salote Tawale
This collaborative workshop explores how personal histories connect to social and political narratives through visual mapping and collective storytelling, anchored in the Fijian dialogical form of talanoa. Participants are invited to create a shared mural using collage techniques to examine themes of displacement, connection, and identity.

Engagement: Archives are Hot!Contemporary Art and Social Transformation (CAST) produces art research that critically engages with social and public spheres with a particular interest in how artistic practices intersect with issues of equity, access and democracy.
The research group is a hub for critical thinking, collaboration and the exchange of ideas, knowledge dissemination, practice-led artistic research and socially-engaged art practice. We work to strengthen art projects on creative care, ecology, education, queer(y)ing practice, migration and mobility, social practice and public art. CAST engages on local and international levels by collaborating with practitioners, communities, industry and government partners.
Across all of our research, CAST recognises the importance of Indigenous and First Nations voices, perspectives and agency. We believe that Indigenous ways of knowing and being are central to the fabric of contemporary life and we acknowledge the sovereignty of our First Peoples.
