Critical Inquiry: A Retake of Sher-Gil's Self-Portrait as Tahitian

"What precisely was meant by Sher-Gil's self-conscious self-placement into the body of a Tahitian nude? How could art
history have missed this painting, so deliberate a citation of art-historical precedent?"

My body is an empty canvas and I have been content with that for a long time now. My husband has some of the most beautiful tattoo work representing several Polynesian styles. When I see his tattoo that represents his travels and his life story, I wonder if I want that for myself as well.

Siva Pasifika Part 2 - The CoconetTV

#Pasifika people have many ways of telling their stories, but nothing compares to expressing them through ‘#Siva’ or #dance.

‘Siva Pasifika’ is a discussion on our dances, where they originated from, and what makes each individual cultures ‘Siva’ unique. #Indigenous #culture #PacificIslanders #Tonga #Samoa #Maori #Raratonga #Fiji #Tahitian #Hawaiian

@betsyvr The letters "r" (ro), "k" (ka), "h (ha)", are not in the #Samoan alphabet (16 letters), but added as an addendum because it's interchanged with other #Pasifika #languages, which is why the differences in spelling, for the most part. They are in the #Hawaiian and #Tahitian alphabets though, maybe #Maori too.

@betsyvr @accretor There's interchangeable letters between the #Pasifika languages. For instance, the letter "t" in #Samoan (although k is used in slang), would be replaced with "k" in #Hawaiian &#Tahitian. #languages

Hi! Aloha kakou 🌺🤙 Just here to give my #introduction as a #TwitterRefugee. I’m Kristine hailing from rainy #Seattle. Just trying to find a new home for my random thoughts.

I dance #hula #tahitian , trained in TKD as a young girl & #KungFu as an adult. Anything else you wanna know, just ask! #TwitterMigration
