Ancient Futures unites the heritage arts of Tonga with the New Zealand diasporic community. Led by contemporary masters Dagmar Vaikalafi Dyck and Sopolemalama Filipe Tohi, this landmark exhibition includes new paintings, prints and sculpture displayed with historic artifacts in response to an engagement with Tongan collections overseas.

The work made from these inspirational visits contextualises the art of Dyck and Tohi in Tongan art history but also within the broader spectrum of the New Zealand art world.
