Building from AWF 24’s “Our Culture, Our Climate – Voices from Across the Pacific” project supported by the British Council Connections Through Culture grant, “Saili Matagi – The Winds of Change”, is the unsuspecting sequel, promising a night of Pasifika poetry that highlights the resilience and adaptability of Pacific people in light of the ongoing climate crisis.

With another year under their belt, join poets Jonjon Tolovae, Simaima Palei, Kapitania Funaki, Mercy Laufale, Rachel Senikaucava, Luani Nansen and Kasi Valu for a dynamic night of moana-rich poetry and spoken word.
