Join us for a discussion with artists/educators Kimo Cashman and Karen K. Kosasa, moderated by co-curator Kapulani Landgraf. Cashman and Kosasa reflect on how their art works in the exhibition are inspired by ‘aina.
Cashman considers his Kapu Series started 30 years ago, a “work-in-progress” based on major issues facing “our people and our ‘aina.” Kosasa will describe her collaborative work with photographer and educator, Stan Tomita, and how they, as third-generation Japanese settlers, began asking questions about how artists represent the land and space in Hawaii. As educators at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, Cashman and Kosasa may also discuss the relationship between teaching and creating art works.
Gallery ‘Iolani invites students and the public to Ke Alaula, a six-part talk series accompanying The OGs: Photographers of the Silver Gelatin Process, running from September 6 to December 6, 2024. These free discussions, held on Saturdays from 2:00–3:30 p.m., will feature photographers from the exhibition and experts on photography, archiving, and the role of photography in social justice.
