Talk
This tour is designed to give an overview of Taloi Havini’s work in the Artes Mundi 10 exhibition. This relaxed tour will be delivered by Bethan Mair Williams. What will make this tour unique is not only the exploration of Taloi Havini’s art but also Bethan’s personal connection to the artist and her family. Bethan currently reside in North Wales, but her ties to Bougainville go back to her early childhood. This personal connection provides her with a deeper understanding of the cultural nuances and influences that shape Taloi Havini’s artistic expression allowing ourselves to immerse in the stories and complexities woven into Taloi Havini’s art.
This tour will be delivered in English.
Spaces are limited and we will have additional staff available to welcome and assist on the day. If you would like to request any access support or to contact us with any questions, please email [email protected]
Artist profiles and statements
Taloi Havini
Taloi Havini is from the Nakas Tribe of Hakö people from the Autonomous Region of Bougainville (one of the Solomon Islands, part of Papua New Guinea). Her work is informed by her family history and its ties to the land and communities in Bougainville and she uses a range of media in her work, including photography, audio and video, sculpture, immersive installation and print. Knowledge – production, transmission, inheritance, mapping and representation – are central themes in Havini’s work where she examines these in relation to land, architecture and place.
