Huaka'i Wahi Pana
About this Event
Huakaʻi Wahi Pana: Nā ‘Ili o Kahe
Join artists Solomon Enos and Meleanna Aluli Meyer along with historian and storyteller Ulukoa Duhaylonsod as they venture across the various ʻili or subdivisions of land that intersect Kahe within the ahupua‘a of Honouliuli. Depicted across five sets of pillars, imagery of each ‘ili draws on the dualism of uka (upland) and kai (sea) to breathe life back into a space that was transformed after the land & coastal erasure activities of the Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO), Ko Olina Resort, and the Waimanalo Landfill.
Kahe has long been a place of abundant wai (water). Flowing at the outlet of Keone‘ō‘io; feeding the loko pu‘uone of Waimānalo, and sustaining the nutrient-rich waters of the fishery of Hāni‘o down to Kalaeloa, the blessing of wai has long been a source of waiwai (wealth). By knowing and sharing these stories, we help reconnect Kahe to ongoing efforts to restore lono (abundance) through nā mea waiwai (all that sustains our well-being) from both land and sea.
Bring some water to drink, grab a mat to sit on, and get ready for a fun-filled, educational and memorable day of contemporary art, Native Hawaiian history & cultural storytelling for keiki, ʻohana & community.
Mahalo to Kamehameha Schools Kaiāulu for sponsoring this event.
