Tiki Tribe Paris is the first exhibition by a collective of six French artists influenced by Polynesian pop culture. The collective's members hail from Paris and eastern France, and they first met each other via Tikicentral.org, mostly on the Carvers forum. The exhibition will feature the fantastic tiki mugs and paintings of Baï, great hand-sculpted wooden tikis and poles by Benella, Akuae and his friends, beautiful Kavakava, Hei Tiki pendants by Laojia, and much more. The exhibition opens with a Luau on the 8th of May complete with musical exotica ambience supplied by yours truly, Jimmy Virani ! Tiki Tribe Paris runs from May 8th until June 5th at: Born Bad and Born Bad Exotica [ Edited by: virani 2011-09-06 00:16 ] |

They look just as scruffy and stoned as Californians. So much for the myth of the French sophisticate. |

Sorry, I was already heading home on the streets with the Cheekytikis while this last photo has been shot... (although, I would have added a lot of french class and sophistication :wink: Anyway, we had a fantastic time at the opening of the exhibition, lots of great friends, fantastic tikis, great cocktails by the Alsacians... I had the pleasure to DJed and make the cocktails at the same time (thanks god I prepared a music mix on my computer !!!). Here are some pictures by me and madame virani :
And lastly, my favorite Bai's piece, of course, as a snail slurper :wink: : |

Just got back from a great weekend in Paris, with a great tiki event, Tiki Tribe, which is what we had planned to go for, and it turned out to be a good night. Met up with Bai, which was great seeing her and seeing her fantastic art, one very clever lady! And the other artists who are very talented too, some great stuff to buy there, and I think quite alot was sold on the night. Met up with Jamie and Anjy from Cheekytiki too, good to see them there. Thanks go to Virani for ordering our drinks in French, as we we're all useless at speaking the lingo!! And had a good time at the pub/club afterwards with some great music but unfortuantely the eyes would not stay open any longer, a very long day! |

Looks like a great event. Lot of nice carvings. I love the little green guy that Akuae carved, and too bad that picture of Haikai carving is so small would be nice to see some larger pictures of that piece from different angles. |

I heard from a swedish bartender that there was a polynesian place in Paris called Tahonga. The owner later came to Sweden and opened another Tahonga in Stockholm, and even later in Malmö. The bartender i met was the central figure on these two places. Some of the know how and drinks was passed along from place to place. I would be happy to supply the few clues I have to some french urban archeologists. |
