Polynesian Women and Tifaifai Fabrications of Identity

Abstract

Women of Polynesia utilize the reintegrated art form of tifaifai to express their complex and multifaceted identities. Through their work patterns, aesthetic decisions, and designated uses for tifaifai, women create and reflect diverse and overlapping roles such as those associated with kinship relations, regional identities, religious affiliations, and gender expectations.
