English
Sitting at an intersection where Polynesia and Micronesia meet Melanesia, the Solomon Islands is a diverse country with arrivals from Kiribati, Tuvalu and China adding their own flavour.
This exhibition is dedicated to the Solomon Island community's children who were either born or raised in Aotearoa. By retaining and maintaining the vital connections with the heritage of their homeland, this young generation is being inspired to take pride in their own identity, thereby thriving in modern-day Aotearoa New Zealand.
Through film, traditional carved and woven objects, ornaments and instruments from the nine provinces - Choiseul, Isabel, Malaita, Guadalcanal, Western Province, Central, Temotu, Makira, and Rennell & Bellona - members of the Solomon Islands community are invited to reinforce their attachment to their homeland, and visitors to experience the uniqueness of this country.
