EP 40 - Doron Semu - Island Roots, Auckland Ways

Island Roots, Auckland Ways

This week’s guest is Samoan siapo maker Doron Semu.

Once a declining practice, the ancient Pacific artform of barkcloth is being revived. Doron travelled to the motherland, learnt diligently from knowledge holders and teaching others upon his return. He and Allyssa also share what it was like to be each other’s soa in receiving the pe’a/malu.
