Tau Rima Tahiti: Crafting Performance
March 2, 2009 - April 28, 2009Manoa Campus, Hamilton Library
The University of Hawai`i at Manoa Library presents two exhibits, Tau Rima Tahiti and ‘Ite ‘Upa’upa, by curator and ethnomusicology candidate, Scott Bartlett, in the UH Manoa Hamilton Library Bridge and Phase II Galleries.
Tau Rima Tahiti: Crafting Performance showcases the craft artists and the material artifacts of ‘ori Tahiti in Hawai‘i. Come see some of the local artists at ArtMania!, Sunday, April 5th!
Examples of locally made costumes and instruments show how artists in Hawai‘i preserve Tahitian traditions through craftsmanship, innovation, creative use of resources, and the transmission of knowledge. Builders and makers construct these objects for the stage production, but their craftsmanship is a performance in and of itself.
The materials of Tau Rima Tahiti celebrate these craftspeople and their central role in preserving Tahitian culture in Hawai`i.
