About the Event:
Join us for Our Light, an extraordinary exhibition by Hawai‘i-based artist Adare (they/them). This isn't your average art show—Adare crafts evocative portraits using the raw elements of fire, soot, and smoke to explore the complexities of gender diversity and indigenous multiple-gender cultures.
What to Expect:
Unique Artistry: Experience portraits created through a fusion of classical realism and fire-spinning techniques, reflecting journeys of resilience and radiant self-discovery.
Local Stories: The exhibition features stories and likenesses of diverse community members, highlighting themes of strength, struggle, and celebration.
Come for the smoke, stay for the stories, and celebrate the radiant joy of our community.
About the Artist:
Adare is a classically trained artist and community advocate whose work has been featured in the Hawai‘i Museum of Contemporary Art and the Schaefer Portrait Challenge. As a disabled, gender-diverse artist, they bring deep authenticity and empathy to every piece.
