This talk with Native Hawaiian artist and barkcloth maker Lehuauakea will address topics of Indigenous self-determination and communal resilience through the reclamation of traditional kapa, or barkcloth. As a younger generation kapa-maker, Lehuauakea will discuss their creative practice and the role of their community throughout their personal and artistic journey. Lehuauakea’s works are currently on view in the JSMA’s Common Seeing exhibition Our Shared Breath: Creativity and Community. This program was made possible with support provided by the Art Dealers Association of America Foundation.
