Offstage is Tautai Contemporary Pacific Arts Trust’s annual moving image and live performance event held in partnership with Artspace NZ. In its 8th iteration, Offstage continues its legacy of offering a space for experimentation and play. Using Hawaiki and the common whakapapa between Māori and Pacific peoples as a prompt, our artists have created works that speak to their experience within Aotearoa.
