Ema Tavola is an independent artist-curator based in South Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand. Her curatorial concerns are grounded in the opportunities of contemporary art to engage grassroots audiences, shift representational politics and archive the Pacific diaspora experience. Tavola has worked in galleries and museums throughout New Zealand and is committed to curating as a mechanism for social inclusion, centralising Pacific ways of seeing, and exhibition making as a mode of decolonisation.

As a result of the global pandemic, Tavola’s independent gallery and creative agency, Vunilagi Vou, has shifted from a public-facing retail space in Ōtāhuhu to a private gallery space in Papatoetoe, South Auckland.
