Decolonizing Cities Symposium

November 9, 9:00am - 4:30pm
Mānoa Campus, Center for Hawaiian Studies Add to Calendar

What does aloha ‘aina look like in Honolulu? How does native knowledge provide solutions to perennial urban dilemmas?

The second Decolonizing Cities symposium focuses on practices of indigenous urbanism, and how the urban is and should be an arena for indigenous placemaking. Continuing with cross-Pacific connections, the symposium features a keynote by Rau Hoskins, whose work in Aotearoa has expanded the field of Maori architecture.

This symposium is co-sponsored by Department of Urban & Regional Planning, the University of Hawai‘i Community Design Center and the UH Kamakakūokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies.
