Siliga David Setoga

Auckland-born Siliga David Setoga has a strong background in graphic art, performance art, installation art and sculpture. A fluent Samoan speaker, his work explores identity and analyses the influences of New Zealand society, popular culture, the church and Fa’a-Samoa (the Samoan way of life) – and how each of these contributes to his trans-cultural identity. Having taught art and design disciplines at a number of tertiary institutions, Setoga is involved in nurturing young artists. He is Co-Chair of Tautai Contemporary Pacific Arts Trust and an art mentor and tutor at Tautai’s Fresh Horizons program, which is an outreach initiative for high school students.
