Film Screening: Marks of Mana
Utah Museum of Fine Arts 410 Campus Center Drive, Salt Lake City, UTAcross Oceania the art of tattoo is legendary, but the marks for women contain stories and meanings that are often little known–especially for new generations. Through the perspective of women, Marks of Mana looks at Pacific indigenous tattoo traditions, and their aged-old symbols which celebrate the significance of the role Pacific Island women play in their communities. The film features women across Polynesia with these sacred markings and even women who themselves give the gift of tatau as tattoo masters.
