Hokule'a Arrives Home - June 17, 2017

Hōkūle‘a and Hikianalia, our Polynesian voyaging canoes, sailed across Earth’s oceans to join and grow the global movement toward a more sustainable world. 

Hōkūleʻa, our Star of Gladness, began as a dream of reviving the legacy of exploration, courage, and ingenuity that brought the first Polynesians to the archipelago of Hawaiʻi.  See http://www.hokulea.com for more information.

The Hub -- contemporary art gallery -- right now part of the Honolulu Biennial art displays.

Just a taste of some of the art work displayed.

You really have to read the little blurbs that accompany each art to understand what the artist is saying.  Some depicting culture, history, cruelty, migration, nuclear disasters, etc.  Many video and interactive displays. Then there was the live performance of dancers who at one point carried bamboo stalks with leaves.
