Kapiʻolani<\/span> Community College<\/a> invites the public to two evenings with internationally acclaimed and award-winning artist Hani El-Masri in a two-part lecture series on November 20 and 21, 7–9 p.m<\/abbr>., in ʻOhia<\/span> 118. The lecture series is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n

Learn about the trials and tribulations of Hani El-Masri as he describes his illustrious career that spans the globe from Egypt to California. He was an artist at Disney Imagineering<\/a>—the creative magic behind the iconic Disney attractions and experiences at Disney parks.<\/p>\n

He was also one of the first visual development artists to be hired by DreamWorks<\/a> for The Prince of Egypt<\/em>, where he stayed to work on El Dorado<\/em> and Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron<\/em>. His artistry has been recognized with numerous awards for his illustrated children’s books.<\/p>\n

“He is a fascinating storyteller and will more than likely mix his background at Disney and DreamWorks with political insight in Egypt,” said Kapiʻolani<\/span> CC<\/abbr> Associate Professor Sharon Sussman<\/strong>, who was also responsible for obtaining the grant to fund these lectures.<\/p>\n

In developing the lecture series, Sussman focused on speakers from animation and live action films, so that the talks relate specifically to the new media arts students at Kapiʻolani<\/span> CC<\/abbr>, the Academy for Creative Media<\/a> at UH<\/abbr> Mānoa and Leeward Community College animation students.<\/a><\/p>\n
