organisationThe Veiqia Project
Fijian women artists, taking the practice back out of the archive

What it is
The collective of Fijian women artists who researched veiqia in collections and archives and brought the practice back.
The long version
The research problem was that the practice ended around 1910 with one named practitioner. The material was in museums, in nineteenth-century accounts, and on objects. The project worked from those and from Fijian women's own reading of them.
