‘Akavata is the space between one point and another, and can only be activated through community. The name originated from my Cook Island heritage; inviting artists to engage with the spaces of the creative studios to bring together the arts community in a night of celebration, with a spread of performances, music, installation and visual arts held within the City of Sydney Creative Studios.
