A new Tongan art book, Sio FakaTonga ‘ae ‘Aati FakaTonga Faivā, Tufunga & Nimamea‘a FakaTonga, has launched after 13 years of research and collaboration.

Featuring 41 artists including collectives and late masters, the book explores Tongan performance, material, and fine arts. Written by Tongans for Tongans, it celebrates ancestral practices and preserves Tongan cultural heritage for future generations.
