Louise will be talking about the book at 5:30pm, and will be signing books sold on the night. The designer will also be present.
The book weaves four Samoan concepts; fa’alavelave (trouble), fiapoto (‘smart alec’), fa’amatala or matala (to open/explain) and faitatala (to gossip) to discuss An Anthem of Hope, a show that Tu’u made at the The Physics Room in October 2013.
Tu’u has penned notes to the reader on the shapes cut out of the die-cut covers. Â These were inserted back into the body of the book, then shrink-wrapped. Â Each copy has been added to by the artist, with drawings and strike-outs; and each book is a one-off.
