Matavai to perform at halftime for the 2025 Pacific Championships Final! 🔥🏉 Got the call on Monday morning and by evening the crew came together!💪🏿 Many of our dancers came out of retirement to celebrate Toa Samoa and the Pacific Championships Finals this Sunday. They’ve been working hard learning a Samoan set, it’s amazing what Rugby league and Pasefika pride can do to people🏉🔥 It’s been a quick turnaround to pull something together, and lots to polish, but so worth it seeing our communit

It is with profound sadness that Matavai Pacific Cultural Arts sends our deepest condolences to @afa.ahloo wife, children, family, and friends worldwide. We mourn the loss of an icon, trailblazer, and beloved brother. Afa was family to Matavai, designing, creating, encouraging, teaching, and uplifting us both locally and abroad. He was the creative force behind Moemoana Schwenke’s winning puletasi, her talent costumes, and contributed to the creation of the traditional wear, and beautiful sarong

"Without water we perish. Without culture... who are we?" When Fred and Maryjane founded Matavai, they wanted to create more than just a cultural centre. They wanted a place where Pasifika people could feel seen, safe and proud of who they are. Growing up, Fred saw the negative stigmas placed on Pacific Islanders and watched his parents use their talents and passion to lift their community. That spirit is what shaped Matavai. Today Matavai is a space where people can learn about their heritage,

We must make it a priority to learn our cultural dances and songs. Every Pacific Island culture has its own unique style of telling stories, every Island nation, and provinces in diverse countries like New Guinea possess intriguing and captivating cultural dances. No matter where the world heads, or where our people traverse, connection can be made through learning cultural expressions, through dances and songs. We believe it is important to hold on tight, protect, and perpetuate what makes Wans
