Savage in the Garden is a new work by Tanu Gago, currently showing at Artspace Aotearoa as part of Personal Space, CIRCUIT’s 2019 Artist Cinema Commissions, curated by Serena Bentley. Here Tanu talks to Mark Amery about a practice based on countering false narratives of Pasifika masculinity, and overcoming his own sense of cultural dislocation to build communities at home and internationally.
“I’m interested in what Pacific work looks like situated in a lens of popular culture”—Tanu Gago
