RakoPasefika is our creative collective and the platform where all our artists come together to perform, create, tour and also collaborate with artists worldwide . Our focus is to create exceptional work that respects cultural knowledge and renews practise while providing a platform for creativity, innovation and excellence.

Rako in the Rotuman language means a place of learning and sharing.
It was with this intention that we formed Rako to provide Rotuman and Pacific artists with a safe space to share our art with a focus on creative freedom.
