"Pō/Ao": a photoethnography exhibition by Nainoa Rosehill

Artist and ethnographer Nainoa Rosehill shares stories of place-based community, nation-building, and the interweaving of Hawaiian peoples and histories through carefully crafted photography.

Exhibition Grid and PŌ'AI by Pono Potions are proud to present "Pō/Ao'' by Nainoa Rosehill, a curated selection of contemporary photoethnography from Hawai'i Island. As a descendant of volcanically active and dynamically changing homelands, Nainoa focuses on four wahi of the Big Island: Mokuhulu, Kaimū, Kalapana, and Kapa‘ahu. Except for Mokuhulu, three of these wahi became blanketed by lava rock in 2018 due to the volcanic eruption that overtook many areas in lower Puna. Throughout this series of photographs, Rosehill asks us to contemplate what it means to record time and place, as well as the telling of ancestral/communal histories, in the ever-evolving landscapes that build on the foundations of the past, yet render them inaccessible.

Kānehūnāmoku: The hidden land of Kāne Exhibit by Dawn Yoshimura

Photography by Jan Becket and watercolors by Dawn Yoshimura

Exhibit honoring the landscape from Malaea to Kaʻena sponsored by Koa Ike Foundation committed to preserving the wahipana of Waianae ʻohana.

For many years, Dawn Yoshimura and Jan Becket have visited a small section of the Waiʻanae coast from Kepuhi Point to Kaʻena Point. This exhibit contains their reflections of the ahupuaʻa of Keaʻau, ʻŌhikilolo, Mākua, Keawaʻula and Kaʻena—an area that is more broadly referred to by some Waiʻanae families as Kānehūnāmoku, the hidden land of Kāne. In learning from those families, talking to other Waiʻanae residents and visiting that area, Dawn and Jan have responded to this unique place in artworks presented in this exhibition.

As the rest of the island slowly becomes urbanized, this exhibit advocates for the need to protect all of Kānehūnāmoku.

This unique walking tour features works by Hawai`i-based artists John Koga, Bumpei Akaji, and Yvonne Cheng.

Visiting locations include the Royal Hawai`ian Hotel, the Halekulani, Fort DeRussy Park, Luxury Row, and a walkthrough of the new Halepuna Hotel collection.
