From the Nakas clan, Hakö people, interdisciplinary artist Taloi Havini was raised in Arawa, Autonomous Region of Bougainville. Working with ceramics, photography, print, video and mixed media installation, Havini’s considered approach to art-­making responds to the tensions and aftermath of the German plantations, Australian colonial mining pressures, and the deadly Bougainville conflict around Indigenous land rights and independence of the 1990s. The youngest child of political activist parents, Havini migrated to Australia at the height of the war.
