Abstract

The article focuses on the work and impact of Edith Amituanai, a New Zealand–born Samoan photographer based in Tāmaki Makaurau, whose practice explores the environments that shape identity, particularly within the Samoan transnational community. Amituanai's photography spans various locations, including New Zealand, Sāmoa, and several countries in Europe and North America, documenting cultural nuances and community dynamics. Her notable projects include the series Déjeuner, which highlights expatriate New Zealand–Samoan rugby players, and her ongoing exploration of siren culture among Pacific youth in Aotearoa New Zealand. Additionally, she engages with her community through teaching and collaborative projects, emphasizing the importance of relationships in her artistic practice. [Extracted from the article]
