Blue Oyster Project Space

blue-oyster-art-project-space

dolphins and pearls presents a collection of love songs from shapeshifter Tui Vutu to Tokairahe, son of gods Tui Lakeba and Liku Cava. This work pays tribute to Tui’s retrieval of Tokairahe’s shell necklace, an act of devotion in which he chased down and faced Dakuwaqa, the mighty Shark God.

Tui Vutu is the moniker of J, an artist based in Tāmaki Makaurau. Raised in Te Whanganui-a-Tara and Naarm, J hails to Levuka, Fiji. Moving between club and experimental sounds, they explore expansiveness within hardware confines, the rawness and severity of a drum machine offering J the means to express.


This experimental performance series is part of Dunedin Fringe Festival and is supported by Creative New Zealand.
