Mounting a locally-based volunteer drive will be a massive effort, with thousands of volunteers and a central coordinating hub to engage volunteers and guide production for reliability and accuracy. The cost is higher than exporting the work and the effort is daunting, but this allows for community engagement, personal investment in Hawaiian knowledge and Hawaiʻi-centered kuleana in the product, supported by hands around the world.
Anyone can join us!
Please bring along your laptop computer.

Paradise What, a slacker conceptual mash-up by maoli artist Drew Broderick incorporates casual humor and metaphor to play off the ironic and historic context of exploitation and cultural re-appropriation of the “natives”—in this case, the coconut tree. Broderick encourages viewers to spend time with the discomfort created by the dynamic of commonplace misperceptions about Hawai‘i, in Hawai‘i today. Installation runs through May 18 ii gallery • 687 Auahi Street; Kaka‘ako • 492.2772
ii gallery, a 700 sq. ft. pop-up creative space in urban kaka‘ako, featuring maoli artists exploring indigenous, international perspectives in contemporary and experimental works.
