Ke Alaula and The OGs:
A Series of Talks at Gallery ‘Iolani

Gallery ‘Iolani is proud to present Ke Alaula, a series of six engaging discussion programs accompanying the current exhibition The OGs: Photographers of the Silver Gelatin Process. These events will feature photographers from the exhibition alongside experts who will dive deep into themes of photography, archiving, and the historic struggles over water diversion in Waiāhole.

These talks, free and open to the public, will provide a unique opportunity to engage directly with the photographers and experts, exploring the role photography plays in preserving culture, history, and addressing critical social issues.
