Artist Rosanna Raymond aka Sistar S’pacific is in her words an "activator, fabricator" who has achieved international renown for her performances, installations, body adornment, and spoken word.

Rosanna is an innovator of the Pacific art scene and notable producer of and commentator on contemporary Moana culture in Aotearoa New Zealand, the U.K, Canada, Australia and the USA.She is a long-standing member of the art collective the Pacific Sisters and a founding member of the SaVĀge K’lub. Her body centred practice includes working within museums and higher education institutions as a researcher, curator, artist, performer, guest speaker, poet, and workshop leader.

Rosanna's acti.VĀ.tions not only expose and critique the colonialism of traditional Western museum practices of conservation, collecting, and display, but also propose other methods for keeping culture alive, through inherited tradition, personal innovation, and embodiment.

Rosanna has achieved so much in her long career internationally and in Aotearoa. This episode only just touches on her achievements and all the things she has been involved in but you will get a fascinating insight into her life and her art practice. We talk about how and when she came to think of herself as an artist, the stories behind The Pacific Sisters and Sa'vage K'lub, the work she has done in institutions around the world and the changes she has seen over the last 30 years in the Pacific arts community.
