[4] Oberg Humphries co-founded Fibre Gallery in Christchurch, a space for Pacific artists and the first gallery of its kind in the South Island,[5] a place where Pacific peoples can learn about their heritage and their cultures.
[8] Oberg Humphries is a director and co-founder of Tagata Moana Trust, a not-for-profit organisation committed to advocating for and empowering Pacific peoples through community resources, events and policies to highlight and strengthen the visibility and identity of Pacific people in New Zealand.
[9][2][10] Oberg Humphries' artistic practice works with predominately Cook Islands spiritual items — taura atua, items of pre-colonial times — and interrogates how the knowledge, and spirituality with multiple indigenous gods is largely disappearing in the Cook Islands, and what taura atua means to her.
[11] Oberg Humphries' work reflects her dual cultural heritage of Pākehā (New Zealand European) and the Cook Islands, and what it means to be a second-generation Cook Islander in New Zealand.
