Nu’u Newsletter: Issue One
Editor’s Note
Talofa lava! Manuia le Tausaga Fou!
Welcome to the first issue of Nu’u Newsletter.
I created this weekly publication with the intention of facilitating meaningful connections between Moana communities and creative opportunities for learning, collaboration and cultural nourishment. My hope is that Nu’u Newsletter draws you closer to the people, places and experiences that feed you. We eat better when we’re together.
Please email your Moana arts news to nuunewsletter@gmail.com.
Follow Nu’u Newsletter on Instagram and Facebook to stay in the loop.
Alofa tele,
Dani Kionasina
