Inspired by a line that the late Bougainvillean statesman Moses Havini (1947 – 2015) wrote in a love letter in the 1960s, Shared Aspirations revisits an exhibition of work by his daughter Taloi, presented at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery in 2023. At Taloi’s request, this exhibition included work by her mother Marilyn, the recipient of the letter.Bringing together archives, video, and paintings, Shared Aspirations is presented at a critical juncture in Bougainville’s journey towards Independence inviting us to share the art of two women whose lives have both contributed to – and been shaped by – the Bougainville’s people’s pursuit of cultural, economic and political self- determination.
Join us for an afternoon of dialogue and discovery with artists Taloi Havini and Marilyn ‘Taleo’ Havini. Together, they will guide us through the exhibition space, offering personal insights into its themes of family, history, and Bougainville’s journey toward self-determination.
