Cross platform, collaborative, multi-disciplinary, regional, and embedded with storytelling and cross-cultural connection – this project certainly ticks all the boxes of what is hot now across numerous art sectors. And, yet, this project is far from “fashionable” – at its centre is a police band and a very un-sexy history of German colonisation.
Siamani Samoa: Michel Tuffery & The Royal Samoa Police Band is a visual art installation-cum-performance-cum-participatory event commissioned by Sydney’s Carriageworks and opening this week (16-18 July).
