'Taofimau Tatou Measina Samoa' - Miniseries Episode 1 with Samoan Carver Zente Auva'a from Falealupo

Introducing the premiere episode of “Taofimau Tatou Measina Samoa” miniseries, in collaboration with Australian Museum and Miss Samoa/Miss Pacific Islands🎙️🎞️
The miniseries delves into the cultural heritage of Samoa through the voices of Samoan artists who are dedicated to preserving and perpetuating measina Samoa. In this episode, we have the honour of speaking with Samoan traditional carver Zente Auva’a Ausane Falaniko from Falealupo Savai’i 🪵🪓
“O la’u la ia fa’alemafaufau faaletagata ia a’u a ia, e tatau na iai seisi e soso’oa, e tatau na iai seisi e soso’oa le taleni lea.”
(At this point, my personal ambition and mindset is that, there needs to be someone to take on the baton next and continue our family’s generational talent.)
We hope you enjoy our first episode! Taofimau ma fa’aauau tatou Measina Samoa.
