The Pacific Sisters

The Pacific Sisters present a short series of interventions designed to bring the whun (fun) and celebrate Pasifika culture and whanaungatanga (kinship) through fashion, actiVAtion, film and music.

Frock Enz Limited Edition
The Sisters make new history by diving into the hidden depths of the Australian Performing Arts Collection to unearth curated selection of the zoot suits of Aotearoa supergroup Split Enz. Designed by Noel Crombie, these suits will be on display throughout Asia TOPA at Arts Centre Melbourne. From 3 March the display will expand to become a face-off with the Sisters’ updated and thrifted responses, rewriting their intertwined histories as local legends of pop culture in Aotearoa.

FrocktiVAtion: 1 March
On 1 March join the Pacific Sisters for a special public ActiVAtion. The Sisters will blend live music, spoken word, taonga pūoro (traditional māori instruments), and processional movement to bring their garments to life in a stunning ActiVAtion.
