THE week long Wasawasa Festival of Oceans in Suva is designed to promote awareness of local artists in Fiji islands. The festival organisers invited international artists to conduct workshops as part of the activities that will end on Saturday 6th December and they have plans on increasing the number of skilled artists in the years ahead. The focus is on supporting and empowering local artists, as well as bringing awareness to Fijians regarding sustainable solutions for Fiji's land and ocean environment.
