Some of the most captivating photographs about Hawaiis people and recent historical events were taken by contemporary photographers within the last 50 years—a few featured in the current exhibition The OGs: Photographers of the Silver Gelatin Process.

While some of these powerful photographs are recognizable, many other prints and negatives remain stored away in personal collections. What will happen to those important records of visual culture and photographic documentation. How can our understanding of a photographer’s research and work inform our futures?

Join us for a discussion with scholars and experts who are grappling with these questions and issues and working to create solutions.

Keahiahi Long, Liane Na‘auao, John P. Rosa, Malia Van Heukelem, and Stacy Hoshino; panelists for the event.

This program is free and open to the general public. Ke Alaula is the accompanying program for the exhibition The OGs: Photographers of the Silver Gelatin Process, September 6 – December 6, 2024.
