Establishing the Museum of Pacific and Oceanic Arts and the Tapa Fondation in Latvia has been a personal journey fueled by my passion for Pacific and Oceanic cultures. As a Fijian art curator, I am committed to preserving and promoting our unique artistic traditions. Through various leadership roles and collaborations with global partners, I strive to create platforms that elevate the rich stories and creativity of the Pacific, ensuring they are shared and appreciated worldwide.
