Artes Mundi 10: Taloi Havini

About

Artes Mundi 10, Presenting Partner: Bagri Foundation

Taloi Havini (Nakas Tribe, Hakö people) was born in Arawa, Autonomous Region of Bougainville. She employs a research practice informed by her matrilineal ties to her land and communities in Bougainville. This manifests in works created using a range of media including photography, audio–video, sculpture, immersive installation and print. She curates and collaborates across multi-art platforms using archives, working with communities and developing commissions locally and internationally. 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.

Havini lives and works in Brisbane, Australia. She is represented by Silverlens, Manila/New York.
