Kaiāulu: Rising Together
We’re exploring the intersection of science and art, at Capitol Modern, the Hawaiʻi State Art Museum in Honolulu. For this Kaiāulu: Rising Together exhibit, four local artists spent the past year, visiting people and places, learning about climate related actions in their communities, and sharing their findings through art — visualizing data, improving communication, and bridging the gap between different ways of knowing. Kaiāulu is a project of the Hawaiʻi Climate Commission, which was created in 2017 and promotes culturally responsive strategies for adaptation for a clean, equitable, and resilient Hawaiʻi.
