“Ea Mai ʻEiwaʻ is a powerful new exhibition featuring the work of Nālani Kanakaʻole (1946-2026), Sig Zane, and Kūhaʻoʻīmaikalani Zane — a Hilo-based family of artists whose creative practices are deeply rooted in hula ʻaihaʻa. As dedicated members of Hālau o Kekuhi in Keaukaha, Hawaiʻi, their work across visual and performing arts is continually charged and sustained by hula.
“Aiwa Ka Mono: ʻIke Pāpālua” is the third artwork added to “Ea Mai ʻEiwa,” each addition coinciding with a new moon cycle.
Bishop Museum is the State of Hawaiʻi Museum of Natural and Cultural History.
