The Extended Hawaiian Body
March 4, 2018 - May 4, 2018Mānoa Campus, Krauss Hall, John Young Museum of Art
Artists participating in this exhibition deal with various aspects of the Hawaiian body extended. This can involve "kino lau," the many physical forms taken by Hawaiian "akua" (deities) or "‘aumakua" (family deities), but the concept applies to other metaphoric extensions of the collective Hawaiian “body†as well. Artists may address aspects of (reactions to) colonialism as well as the post/colonial Hawaiian body.
This exhibition features the work of eight contemporary Hawaiian artists: Maile Andrade, Kaili Chun, Kaui Chun, April Drexel, Noelle Kahanu, Kapulani Landgraf, Marques Marzan,and Maika'i Tubbs.
Dr. Deborah Waite, professor of Pacific art history, is curator of the exhibition.
