"It takes a village to raise a tama'ita'i Sāmoa" was our theme for 2019 pageant and with this theme the Village Life exhibition in collaboration with Blak Dot Galley was born. 

This exhibition was held over 3 weekends, where it showcased the traditional 'Ava ceremony, various types of Siva (traditional dance), Sāmoan musical instruments, traditional weaving processes of making handicrafts, understandings of Tatau and Malu (traditional tattoo), and feature the preparation of umu (earth oven) and sharing of Sāmoan food prepared by the aganu'u class and members of VICSAC. 

Aganu'u Program

Language and customs workshops

Our aganu’u program started off as a program for our contestants so that we could give them an experience of our culture and then developed into a program for everyone. This allowed our ‘aumaga to learn about ‘ava ceremonies, kids learning the language and girls learning how to palu ‘ava and a whole lot more. 

Covid-19 came and this did not stop the students from learning, we had online classes for our children ran by our elders in the community Taulapapa Jessie Fa'atau & Rusia Filia. As well as the online classes for the adults. 

We have been blessed to have our fa’atamā also our Cultural Director, Lemalu Fa’atau, lead this program with the assistance of Seumanutafa Pa’u.
