Bio

Tahe is a Tahitian artist who was born and raised in Tahiti, French Polynesia. Deeply rooted in his Polynesian heritage, his work reflects an ongoing exploration of identity, tradition, and cultural evolution. He envisions how the legacy of his ancestors can be carried forward into the present, adapting and transforming within the context of today’s world. Drawing inspiration from both the past and the present, Tahe focuses particularly on questions of identity. A recurring theme in his work is the influence of Western cultures on traditional Tahitian society.

Tahe Drollet is the 2025/2026 Geoffrey and Margaret Andrew Fellow in Creative and Performing Arts. Tahe is also the recipient of the Résidence Pacifique, funded by the Institut français du Canada as part of the Résidences Ouest-Ouest programme. Learn more about his residency at MOA.
