As proud recipients of the 2025 Pasifika Artist in Residence for Palmerston North, Vatu Dei will release their debut album in October 2025 and present a flagship live concert on 19th December at the Globe Theatre.
Vatu Dei, meaning ‘Steadfast Rock,’ is a collective of talented Fijian artists who celebrate Fijian culture through meke, a traditional form of Fijian song and dance. Vatu Dei uses chants, harmonies, spoken word, and contemporary performance to tell the stories of Fijian legends, love, indigenous history, and everyday life.
The Creative New Zealand Pacific Arts Regional Residency is supported through Creative New Zealand’s Pacific Arts Strategy, with support from Palmerston North City Council, to invest in Pasifika artists whose work strengthens cultural identity, builds community connection, and pushes creative boundaries.
