TALOI HAVINI
Habitat
14 June - 10 September 2017
Taloi Havini’s artistic and curatorial practice centers on the deconstruction of the politics of location, and the transmission of Indigenous Knowledge Systems. Her work responds to the history and culture of Bougainville, where she was born, and acknowledges her people’s deep connection to land, despite years of conflict and civil war. In her research, Taloi Havini engages with living cultural practitioners and Oceanian material collections and archives. She often responds to these experiences and sites of investigation with experimental ceramic installations, print, photographic and video works in solo and collaborative works. She is actively involved in cultural heritage projects, exhibitions, research and community development in Melanesia and Australia.
For her residency at the Pavillon Neuflize OBC, Palais de Tokyo’s creation laboratory, Taloi Havini benefits from the support of the Fondation d’entreprise Total, as part of the programme “Emerging Talents from Emerging Countries”, whose objective is to discover and reveal little-known creative artists from South-East Asia, while inviting them to dialogue with the French scene.
