Visiting scholar 2004: Ping-Ann Addo

Ping-Ann Addo's yearlong exploration of Tongan art and culture included the first-ever creation of an original handmade tapa cloth in the continental United States. Working with renowned Tongan artist Siu Tuita, Addo and the Center hosted a series of events and performances that enabled CCA and the larger Bay Area community to witness this art form firsthand.
