Friday, July 8, 2022
6-7:30 p.m. HST
FREE via KZbin Live.
"Hidden in Plain Sight: The History of The Healer Stones of Kapaemahu in a Changing Waikīkī": Our first conversation will discuss the historical findings and artistic choices behind "The Healer Stones of Kapaemhu," including details about the first written version of the moʻolelo, its loss, its rediscovery deep in a library archive, and its restoration - all in the context of the rise of tourism, militarization, and the erosion of Hawaiian cultural identity throughout the 20th century.
Speakers include:
- Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu, exhibition co-curator, Kanaka Maoli teacher, cultural practitioner, and community leader
- Dean Hamer, exhibition co-curator and Emmy and GLAAD media award-winning filmmaker
- Joe Wilson, exhibition co-curator, Emmy award-winning filmmaker, community advocate
- DeSoto Brown, exhibition lead curator and Bishop Museum Historian and Curator of the Archives
The Kapaemahu Program Series is generously supported by McInerny Foundation, Bank of Hawaii, Trustee.
