"It was during the preparations for the many events of the first 'Festival of Tapa : A Cultural Link in Oceania,' which took place in Tahiti in November 2014, that the idea for a work dedicated to tapa was born. Although it would certainly borrow some elements from the festival, I didn't want it to be a catalogue, and I wanted it to cover a much larger geographical zone"--Michel Charleux, editor (page 13).
