“Hawaii State Art Museum celebrates diversity as part of Pride Festival”

“Weaving Past, Present, and Future: How the Na Akua Akea exhibit celebrates and inspires a lahui”
"The Sings also teach a few tricks that they learned on their own weaving journey to enhance their students’ success.

“We came up with this idea for a different grant but that didn’t work out,” says Kumulāʻau. “So we decided to use the support of a Hawai‘i State Foundation on Cultural and the Arts grant to do what we could and compact a two-year experience into one year. We are so fortunate that we have haumana like our cohort. Our Maui students did pretty much everything that we would have taught over the course of two years in one year. We made it very intensive, challenging, and at the same time we wanted to circumvent their learning curve by using and applying our own methods that we use. Our approaches help expedite the processes."
