Yakio is a Clendon City taupou and mixed media artist who specialises in oil painting. Her work explores the intersectionality of modern Pasifika youth, as well as celebrating and embracing the agency of brown bodies. Heavily influenced by her Samoan and South Auckland based upbringing, she has always been interested in deconstructing the ideas of the Teine Sā, finding ways to reclaim that title to fit whichever context she desires.

Peter Wing is multi-disciplinary Melanesian Ni-Vanuatu creative based in Papatoetoe, South Auckland (Tāmaki Makaurau). Peter is known for constructing contemporary based work, dealing mainly with migration and use of space whilst studying at University of Auckland: Elam school of fine arts. It was during their time at Elam that they became part of the now known collective “Porn Brown”. A group of friends and Moana-Nui-a-Kiwa artist. Their soul purpose is to share and connect by responding to reclamation of not only their brownness but their queerness inside institutionalised spaces while maintaining a fine arts practice.

Their main focus as a creative is trying to demonstrate ways and concepts of agency through not only adornment making but the lenses of a film. Combining that all together with their recently found interest in working with soft textured materials in a fashion like sense, whilst still working with the notion of body.

His work is mainly inspired by dreams, memories and nightlife when logic and reality have the least hold on people and when they can connect most strongly to visceral desire.
