From Native Hawaiian Student Services at UH Mānoa:
What is Hawaiian Art?
In the final episode of season 2, Kanaka scholar-activist and Kumu Joy Enomoto, a visual artist, and lecturer in Pacific Island Studies will engage this question by drawing from her own work, like the art piece above, and from generations of Kānaka artist in her presentation: “Art & Building Movements in the Hawaiian Kingdom.” She starts with art at the center of our movements rather than on the periphery.Art is the center of resistance in Hawaiʻi from Kalama Valley, Waiahole, Waiakāne, Mākua Valley, Save our Surf, Kahoʻolawe, Nā Wai ʻEhā, East Maui, Mauna Kea and many more.Art connects our movements across Oceania from a Nuclear Free and Independent Pacific to Free West Papua.Art is part of the foundation that we stand on.Art is an embodied knowledge in which we imagine our own liberated futures.
If this strikes you, join us this Thursday at 11 AM as we think with Kānaka Scholar and Activist Joy Enomoto about the importance of Hawaiian art in our movements towards liberation. Don’t forget to RSVP by either clicking the link in our bio or following the link on our flyer. We will also be broadcasting via Facebook Live!
