Fa’amele Etuale: What’s for Dinner

What’s for Dinner is a new commission by Fa’amele Etuale for the Te Tuhi Project Wall. Presented as an installation, the exhibition reflects the artist’s experience of poverty and the responsibility of caring for one’s family as eldest child.

Made of easily accessible materials such as cardboard, newspapers, tape, and glue, What’s for Dinner recreates an everyday moment of scarcity, challenging us to reconsider an everyday question asked in homes around the world and revealing how this seemingly simple enquiry can carry different associations.
