Ula Leo<\/em> features a collection of work by Kānaka Maoli artists ʻImaikalani<\/span> Kalahele and Cory Taum that considers the relationship between urban development, environmental degradation, cultural memory and indigeneity.<\/p>\n

This multi-generational exhibition includes paintings, sculptures, poetry and artist videos that address specific sites, spaces, and landscapes of Oʻahu<\/span> and illustrate stories from a Hawaiian perspective. Over the course of several years, Kalahele and Taum have been working alongside one another, sharing studio space, and collaborating on exhibitions. In recognition of this mentoring relationship, they received the Moʻo Award from Nā Mea Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> and PAʻI<\/span> Foundation in 2014.<\/p>\n
