“Ka Pae ʻĀina O Hawaiʻi Nei”, is a culturally centered educational program and a community created mosaic mural that is being offered by the Garden Island Arts Council. Join us in learning about the program and how to be further involved in future workshops, helping to create an 80-foot-long by 4-foot-high mosaic mural that depicts the entire Hawaiian Archipelago. A place-based inspired design for the Kīlauea Point National Wildlife Refuge, the finished mosaic will be installed on the retaining wall that begins right outside the Visitor Center and Friends Nature Store.
“Ka Pae ʻĀina O Hawaiʻi Nei” Hawaiian Archipelago Mosaic Program blends Hawaiian culture, education, and art through integrated opportunities created for Kauaʻi’s community and visitors. Participants will learn about the Hawaiian Archipelago and have a tactile involvement in and ownership of a collaborative public art mural.
This mini workshop will be led by Kumu Hula Kehaulani Kekua of Hālau Palaihiwa O Kaʻipuwai and artist Kathleen Ho. Kumu Kehau brings her wealth of skills, passion, and commitment to sharing ancestral wisdom and perpetuating the traditions of her culture. She will introduce a cultural version of the birth of the Hawaiian Archipelago and a short oli (chant). Kathleen has done other community cultural-inspired mosaics throughout Kauaʻi. She will share the inspiration and intention of this large-scale project and facilitate the hands-on process of mosaic making.
