This week’s UH News Image of the Week is from Shen Ran, a graduate student in School of Architecture Global Track Program at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
Ran shared, “On September 7, 2024, the Aloha Festivals, the largest Hawaiian cultural celebration in the United States, which will last for a month, officially opened. In 1946, the Aloha Festivals began as ‘Aloha Week,’ a cultural celebration of Hawaiian music, dance and history, with the purpose of continuing the unique traditions of the Hawaiian Islands. Festivals founders had the foresight to create a public celebration to honor Hawaiian heritage. This is the Royal Court Investiture and opening ceremony I photographed at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. As a student at the University of Hawaiʻi, this was my first time participating in an event like this in Hawaiʻi, and I was excited to record the Hawaiian culture with my camera.”
