The teine of Malae/Co are back with their exhibition switch, code, reverse at The Magic Queen Fiapoto Bus. Breanna Tugaga-Rogers learns the beginnings of the collective and walks us through the opening night.

“For the Pacific diaspora in Aotearoa, garages transcend the laws of the intended. Here, you will never find a parked car; nor, despite what the country’s most ignorant may think, will you find a gang to join. Unless, of course, it’s the Queen Fiapoto gang.

For us Pasifika, the garage is multidimensional. A space of infinite possibility.”

✨ Have been feeling the love since my interview with @bretugs came out on Tuesday Mōrena. Thank you to those who have supported me from the start, now and the in between 🧡 I couldn’t have created this kaupapa without you! To all of the girls who were too afraid to do something - just do it and run with it. 2022 is going to be a big one but a good one! Grateful always✨
