The Red Wave Collective is the most prominent group of artists to have emerged
from the Centre for Oceania Arts and Cultures at the University of South Pacific in Fiji.

Founded in 1997 by Epeli Hau·ofa, the Oceania Centre set out to provide an autonomous
space in which artists and practitioners could evolve and explore new methods of creativity
that both drew knowingly from local traditions and shaped fresh boundaries and visions.

Since the beginning, the Centre has become a magnet for creativity in the area, bringing
together artists from across the widely diverse Oceania region, and leading to a flourishing contemporary visual and performing arts movement firmly rooted in both historical visual
traditions and the changing international environment.
