‘IKE KANAKA

Running now through Aug 18, 2023, Schaefer International Gallery (MACC)

The Schaefer International Gallery at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center is proud to present ‘Ike Kanaka, an exclusive exhibition showcasing the latest creations of ten Kanaka ʻŌiwi artists hailing from both Hawai‘i nei pae ʻāina and the continental U.S. ‘Ike Kanaka captures the essence of ʻōiwi perspectives, experiences, and wisdom that is rooted in the past, but communicated in the present to inspire a brighter future. 

“Our planning for this exhibition began in 2019, with many in-depth discussions about Indigenous ideas and the cultural issues Hawaiians are facing today. We talked about generational learning in a time of hulihia (disruptive change or chaos) and the importance of passing down essential stories and ancestral history to honor and sustain identity into the future”, says Gallery Director Neida Bangerter.

Participating artists are: Bernice Akamine, Kalaʻiakea M. Blakemore, Hoaka Delos Reyes, Solomon Enos, Pōhaku Kaho‘ohanohano, Lehuauakea, Kawika Lum-Nelmida, Meleanna Aluli Meyer, Aulii Mitchell, and Cory Kamehanaokalā Holt Taum. The exhibit opens Tuesday, January 17 and runs through March 18. Hours are 10am – 4pm Tuesday through Saturday and admission is free. See more at mauiarts.org.
