In a new Pasifika arts series we explore the different art forms of creatives across the Moana who bring joy to the world and offer cultural insights through their talents.
Check out the art of Fakalala making in Tonga, and the making of this beautiful tau'olunga costume by Tongan artist Lesieli Tonga Kafa. Lesieli tells us the history behind this important cultural element and the story of its significance for Tongans worldwide.
