Join us for the preview of FALE SĀ / SACRED HOUSE - FĀGOGO, the new exhibition opening in HOME's Main Gallery, from Fri 4 Jul running until Sun 10 Jul 2025.

This preview offers the opportunity to see the exhibition on Fri 4 Jul from 18.00 – 21.00.

Home is a precarious notion for cultures in a constant state of motion and displacement. FALE SĀ / SACRED HOUSE asks FAFSWAG artists to create a site forceremonial transformation, imagining a future HOME for our celestial bodies, sacredobjects, ancestral stories and collective gatherings. Fāgogo refers to a traditional storytelling technique from the Samoan Islands.
In FALE SĀ / SACRED HOUSE, FĀGOGO is a digital exhibition where contemporary artists use different styles of storytelling and transmission to weave together a living archive of cultural knowledge and experience. Artists bring their own unique focus to some of the major issues impacting Pacific peoples.
The exhibition brings into question the nature of our relationships to our communities, our environment, and the constantly expanding cosmos, with artists directly accessing ancestral memories to craft collective stories and imagine Indigenous futures.
Curated by FAFSWAG, featuring Tanu Gago, Tapuaki Helu, Nahora Ioane, Māhia TeKore, Pati Tyrell and Jaimie Waititi.
The exhibition is a part of FALE SĀ / SACRED HOUSE. Explore the full programme here.
