Experience the power of mo‘olelo and poetry at this public art activation centered on Lē‘ahi, a compelling forty-stanza section of Aloha Ka‘apuni by Brandy Nālani McDougall. This piece traces the evolving perceptions of Lē‘ahi—shaped first by Kānaka ‘Ōiwi, then by 18th-century western sailors, the U.S. military, and modern tourism. Through spoken word, discussion, and artistic interpretation, we invite the community to reflect on the layered histories of this storied place and reclaim its deeper meaning. Join us for an evening of dialogue and connection as we engage with Lē‘ahi beyond the postcard image, honoring its ancestral and contemporary significance.
