The last coconut drifted with Morgan Hogg

Cook Island Australian artist, Morgan Hogg’s The last coconut drifted exhibition, takes its title from Manihikian poet Kauraka Kauraka. Exploring culture and intergenerational knowledge sharing, Morgan celebrates her Cook Island heritage with video, sound, textiles and carving. Woven throughout this exhibition is a sense of community, Morgan’s family and friends have been invited to make with her.

Each piece then becomes imbued with many layers of history – both contemporary and traditional. The last coconut drifted encourages viewers to take a moment to reflect on their own community and what stories or skills have been passed from one generation to another.
