AS WE BLOOM, ARTSHOUSE 2021

IRIHIPETI WARETINI, BELLA WARU & VEISINIA TONGA

As We Bloom is a place of reverence in honour and celebration of the growth, expansion and self-realisation the artists witness in their community as they collectively create the space and support systems to ‘become’ and to receive the healing they deserve.

 

 

As We Bloom is presented by Arts House as part of Housewarming.

Step into a series of serene, fragrant settings in which the cycles of nature echo the flourishing of the community surrounding the artists. These gently evocative spaces are home to a series of moving portraits that make vivid our potential for growth and self-actualisation.

Inspired by plant life, fauna and a wealth of people who have proven consistently able to flourish in challenging times, As We Bloom is a meditative appreciation of our capacity for growth.

An intimate and thought-provoking conversation between a performer, filmmaker and weaver, it is testimony to the kind of art that can only be made through deep, and sustained collaboration and the support of a diverse and resilient community.
