Experience Ea Mai Eiwa - Patterns of Practrice: A Multigenerational Artistic Legacy Rooted in Hula


  • Bishop Museum 1525 Bernice Street Honolulu, HI, 96817 United States (map)

A powerful new exhibition featuring the work of Nālani Kanakaʻole (1946–2026), Sig Zane, and Kūhaʻoʻīmaikalani Zane — a Hilo-based family of artists whose creative practices are deeply rooted in hula ʻaihaʻa.

The exhibition title references “Kūhaʻimoana,” a chant describing the migration of shark gods from Kahiki to Hawaiʻi. Interpreted as “structures of nine,” Ea Mai ʻEiwa reflects the strength, resilience, and environmental knowledge embodied in these ancestral stories.
