Sioana Faupula and Stella Naimet facilitated a Hiapo making project as a way of building relationships between women from different cultural backgrounds. Hiapo making is the ‘art’ of making tapa ‘cloth’ out of mulberry bark, found in various Polynesian countries.
Participants had an opportunity to make their own designs (motifs) and transfer them onto a ‘cloth’. The finished products were displayed at the National Multicultural Festival in February 2005.
