Suvãsthi :/noun/: expression of happiness (ufaaverikan faalhu kuraa faalhu kurun)
Suvāsthi by Oaga: A Creative Playground to elevate arts in different forms in the Maldives under the initiative “Fannuverin Fathururuveinnah” (from Artists to Tourists), connecting arts and hospitality. Since the beginning of Oaga, Suvāsthi has revived the island bringing life, culture and purpose to arts in hospitality, and a safe haven for artists to prosper and create. This space for artists reflects as a Tree of Life intertwined by branches of multiple art forms, from Loa Gé (perception), Vaa Gé (arts & crafts), Moo Gé (movement & expressionism) and Gaa Gé (rhythm and sound).
Branches of Suvasthi
LOA GÉ
Branch of Perception
Loa Gé, the first branch of Suvāsthi represents perception, visualization and identity. The vision of Oaga Art Resort, the brand, tone-of-voice and the representation of moments. Loa Gé translates to Loa meaning ‘Eye’ and Gé meaning House; hosts Photography, Branding & Design with new products available to guests.
VAA GÉ
Branch of Visual Art
Vaa (ވާ) translating to cobweb can also be used as an adverb in Dhivehi, describing the present continuous tense. Vaa Gé represents visual art in its diverse variety of mediums. At Vaa Gé we practice Free Flow Art Sessions, Tie Dye, Live Art and more.
MOO GÉ
Branch of Movement & Expression
In Dhivehi, Moo means “roots” and Gé means “home.” Together, Moo Gé is a dynamic space for movement, performance, exploration, and creation. It is a home for artists of all disciplines, a place to gather, experiment, and grow
GAA . GÉ
Branch of Rhythm
Gaa Gé – the foundation stone to Suvāsthi embodies rhythm and sound in all forms and genres. Gaa translating to “Rock” sends shockwaves of life into Oaga beyond the four walls of its studio. The soul of Gaa Gé connects all from the gentle hums, the morning hymns and to the evening jams.
