The waters that hold our islands remind us how people find connection deeply, even through separation. If you listen, the Moana tells many stories of navigation, and we continue to think about how those journeys take shape over time. Whether it is listening to waves crashing coast side or full kettle boiling in our homes, if it is submerging in fresh water stillness or meeting the force of an incoming tide, there is a familiar feeling of belonging. A knowing that this body of water, whatever form it takes, remembers us and understands the journey.
Inspired by the alagā’upu E le galo le tai, Brown Town Volume Two takes us back to the water, bringing together Tagata Moana and Tangata Whenua artists from across the motu and beyond. Each work, unique in shape and form, traces its own current, exploring identity, migration, climate, remembrance, and the enduring pull of the tides.
Brown Town Volume Two is an invitation to remember, and to reconnect. These pages become an archive of the stories that ebb and flow across oceans and generations, because the tide, and all that it carries, is never forgotten.
