Tapa, an exhibition celebrating Tongan cultural art and the legacy of Tongan presence in Seattle, will be on view through June 21.
TAPA showcases the fusion of traditional Tongan tribal patterns with contemporary digital art, transforming cultural symbols into modern décor. Tapa cloth is one of the highest value gifts. It is also used throughout the Pacific Islands with great appreciation. Each intricate pattern embodies ancestral wisdom, spiritual connections, and the resilience of Tongan artistry, inviting viewers to embrace cultural storytelling through immersive design.
