Interdisciplinary artist Ruha Fifita leads a ngatu workshop with members of her family, in partnership with IVI designs. The Ngatu Learning Space offers an open and interactive experience where participants can gather to learn from each other through the creation of smaller works on bark cloth.

Ruha Fifita (b. 1990, Vava’u, Tonga; lives in Brisbane, Australia) is a visual and performing artist investigating the histories of collaborative frameworks for art-making and the evolution of the social values and functions that they fulfil and/or have the potency to capture, propagate, and influence. In 2006 she co-founded ON THE SPOT (OTS), an arts organisation aimed at exploring and utilising the arts as a tool for community building. Ruha is currently Pacific Arts Research Assistant for QAGOMA.
