As a Fijian Artist & Cultural Bearer, I share with you my knowledge and stories around Kava circle and practice of the MATANIGASAU to reconnect with our families, honor our elders, and inspire our young people to know where they come from, understand who they are, and carry the values of respect, humility, unity, and peace into the world.
Osea Kaukimoce
Artist Biography
Osea Kaukimoce is a Fijian dancer, actor, filmmaker, cultural ambassador, and inspirational speaker carrying the stories of his people into every room he enters. Born from the islands and rooted in the Pacific, Osea has built a life and career at the intersection of art, culture, and community — performing, directing, producing, and teaching across the United States.
As a dance teacher and cultural ambassador, Osea has brought Fijian and Polynesian tradition to festivals, schools, stages, and community gatherings, making ancient culture living and alive for the next generation. His films and creative work are driven by the same mission: to preserve what is sacred, share what is beautiful, and inspire young people especially Pacific Islander youth — to see themselves represented and celebrated.
Osea believes art is not decoration. It is memory. It is identity. It is how a people survive.
He is based in the USA and continues to build his creative empire with his community at the center of everything.
