Bring Pasifika Artists to Ōtautahi

It is true that "It takes a village to raise a child."

We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our family, friends, work colleagues, mentors, fellow creatives, and communities who took the time to share our project and donate. Thank you, Boosted and The Arts Foundation. We have been pleasantly surprised by the support from family members living outside of Christchurch and from sponsors we have yet to meet. Wow! Truly, thank you for being part of our village. 

Thanks to your generous donations, we are one step closer to making our vision of a new Pasifika Festival in Ōtautahi a reality. Our festival aims to create an awesome space for artists from across Aotearoa to connect in our beautiful hometown, Ōtautahi, and to inspire the next generation of Pasifika storytellers.

Our BoostedxMoana campaign for 2026 may be completed, but our work is far from over. Be sure to follow us for more updates and events on our Instagram @polynesianpages
 

Also, don't forget to follow the talented artists flying down to Ōtautahi this November, @islandvibesfunk and @lemaucreative

A big thank you to Lima Productions Trust for your unwavering support and guidance. And special thanx to Pandora Maepu @pandeezzy.jpg for helping to spread our message to raise $10,000 to bring Pasifika artists to Ōtautahi and for standing by her big sister through deep waters.

Fa'afetai lava,
