Born in the 1990s in Auckland, The Pacific Sisters is a collective of Pacific and Māori fashion designers, artists, performers, and musicians.
Pacific Sisters: Fashion Activists was an exhibition that celebrated mana wāhine, indigenous identities, and the role this collective has played over the past 26 years – through their collaborative works across fashion, performance, music, and film – in giving voice and visibility to Māori and Pacific peoples in Aotearoa New Zealand.
It was shown at Te Papa Tongarewa (2018) and Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki (2019).
