Hawai‘i: A Kingdom Crossing Oceans

Join us for a discussion about the British Museum’s groundbreaking exhibition, Hawaiʻi: A Kingdom Crossing Oceans, with curator Alice Christophe, and Noelle M.K.Y. Kahanu, a member of the exhibition stewardship committee. Hear about some of the voices that wove this exhibition together and their shared kuleana, from the inclusion of sacred ʻahuʻula to contemporary art, to the 200 year legacy of the diplomatic journey of King Liholiho and Queen Kamāmalu. Moderated by Karen K. Kosasa. Exhibition catalogues will be available for purchase at event from UH Press.
