If I pick your fruit, will you put mine back? - John Vea

John Vea’s ongoing exploration of Pacific migrant workers is anchored by his signature wit and humour, challenging viewers to consider the equality and validity of a global workforce. Vea’s video, installation and performance practice has been defined by a journalistic investigation into how workers from Moana Nui a Kiwa (the Pacific Ocean) have been co-opted as labour for both Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia. This specially-curated exhibition and performance project brings Vea’s work to Australia for the first time.
