Co-curated by Native Hawaiian artist and kapa-maker, Lehuauakea, and artist and educator, Kanani Miyamoto, this exhibition sheds light on the often-overlooked histories and movement of people who connect Hawai'i and the Pacific Northwest since the arrival of the first documented Native Hawaiians to the West Coast in 1787.
DISplace features visual art by regional Native Hawaiian creatives, family stories and ephemera, historic photographs, and archival objects to honor these histories and reclaim the narrative through the voices of families and individual descendants today.
This exhibit includes art from: Keliko K. M. Adams, Haʻaheo Auwae-Dekker, Daphne Kauahiʻilani Jenkins, Nyomi Iwalani José, Lōkela Alexander Minami, Brandon Naihe, Malia Peoples, Cris Romento, Shaka Funk Design Co., Mikiʻala Souza, and Bruce Clayton Tom.
And community stories from: Henrylyn Kauʻi Auwae, Valerie Reel, Banjamin Ka‘imipono Oclaray and Mokihana Melendez.
DISplace opens to the public for viewing on Friday, June 13, 2025 on the 2nd floor in the George Tsutakawa Art Gallery.
This is an in-person event. Face masks are welcome and available for all guests.
