Virtual tour of Eleni – Navigators of Polynesia

Traditional painter, carver and designer Faraimo Paulo of Tokelau is on a mission to record his people’s history and culture. Tokelau is made up of 3 coral atolls, AtafuNukunonu and Fakaofo, 500km north of Western Samoa.

As emigration and rising water levels from global warming threaten to erase the traditional Tokelauan lifestyle, Paulo has embarked on a mission to realistically capture on canvas the culture, stories and scenes of Tokelauan society, often using his family members as models. Eleni – Navigators of Polynesia represents a major survey of Faraimo Paulo’s work over the last three decades.

Blacktown Arts and TVD.media present the 360° VR tour of Eleni – Navigators of Polynesia, an immersive virtual experience of the exhibition available anywhere in the world.
