Opening Day: Kahoa Workshop with Sione Tuívailala Monū

On the opening day of Sione Tuívailala Monū's exhibition Stories, drop in and make your own memento of the show.

This workshop connects with Monū’s experimental work with nimamea'a tuikakala or the Tongan fine art of flower design. Visitors are invited to create their own kahoa or garland with fresh flowers.

Take the time to learn and make something beautiful.
