An opportunity for established artists to undertake a 6-week residency at the Oceania Centre at The University of the South Pacific in Suva, Fiji.

Overview

This residency is a tri-nations partnership between Creative New Zealand, Creative Australia and the Oceania Centre at The University of the South Pacific in Suva, Fiji. The pilot programme will select one artist from each country (Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia and Fiji) to take part in a shared six-week residency at the Oceania Centre. The residency supports established Pacific creatives to develop their arts practice and to grow relationships and networks across Te Moana Nui a Kiwa.

Selected artists will develop new work themed around Climate Change, a priority under Creative New Zealand's Pacific Arts Strategy and a pressing security issue for the peoples of the Pacific Islands.
