Bronson Aerenga-Seiuli explains the art
Bronson Aerenga-Seiuli explains the art of making Tongan Ngatu. He tells the story of this special decorated barkcloth and the part it plays in Pacific culture.
Ngatu is the Tongan name given to tapa cloth. It is made from the inner bark of Hiapo (paper mulberry tree). The pieces of bark are beaten with a mallet, widened, and joined together to make larger pieces of cloth. Groups of women work together to decorate the cloth with natural dyes and pigments. Bronson unpacks this in this Cultural Refresh.
‘Cultural Refresh’ is a series that explores Moana cultural practices and taonga, presented for our new generations of young Pasifika people.
