pewa radio
an audio cast project in collaboration with HT25
coming soon....

The mau pewa acts as visual identity for the international contemporary art exhibition, HT25, grounded in Hawai'i and aloha nō. The fishtail shaped patched used to repair and strengthen wooden objects reminds us of one of the most important functions for art: to heal wounds of the land, water, culture, heart, and mind. From Hawai'i Contemporary: "To create a pewa is to truth tell. To create a pewa is to seek connection and in vulnerable histories and difficult jagged places. To create a pewa is to reinforce the fabric of community."
Over the course of the exhibition, my ART 485: Contemporary Art in Hawai'i students will be creating short audio casts asking the artists, audiences, and themselves how art opens up to healing. |
