The art of wayfinding: Navigating Pasifika success
This event is a celebration of Pasifika success in the Faculty of Education and Social Work, which is embedded upon Pacific indigenous ways of knowing and being. Using the traditional Micronesian (Marshall Islands) art of shell map making to generate shared visioning, this exhibition of Rebbilib (shell maps) as (re)constructed by both Pasifika staff and students share a cartographic method of storying Pasifika success as Pasifika. Alongside the shell maps, this event will also be the launch of the wayfinding Pasifika success website, which engages the shell map markers as key themes to create a virtual vā to connect and reconnect Pasifika within the University. The interactive website will be a resource shared within the University as a tool of wayfinding Pasifika success as Pasifika and will include specific content to foster Pasifika success.
