Peter is a co-founder of Centre for the Arts, Suva, and an arts manager and who founded The Poetry Shop, Fiji. He works as a gay activist using storytelling as advocacy, spoke at the inaugural TEDx Suva, and as a SLAM poet with a large following, he’s a champion of the revival of the literary movement in Fiji, working to provide spaces for new and emerging poets and artists to enable the framing of authentic local voices.

Peter lives in Suva with his partner Mark Lal and their two cats, Friday and Nala.
