Tuesday, September 26 Our Stories, Our Fu re
Humankind faces an urgent moment of necessary redefinition today—a self-perceptual change from considering ourselves apart from nature, to our being a part of nature. J. Matt, Honolulu-based documentary photographer and feature writer whose work largely focuses on global warming, will explore the disconnecting stories we’ve told ourselves that have defined both our systems and ourselves to the point the two have become indistinguishable and alienated us from our earth. These prevailing stories have failed us; it is time to rediscover, make, and tell new stories. A great deal depends on our being able to do so. visura.co/jmatt Join Kealakai Center & The Pacific String Museum founder Ki-lin Reece for a multimedia presentation and journey through time chronicling the illustrious musical legacy of the Kahanamoku family. Reece will uncover the 19th century string ensembles of Duke Kahanamoku Sr. and his performances at the 1893 Chicago World Fair, the globetrotting musical odyssey of his violin, as well as the Hawaiian steel guitar pioneering brother Professor Keouli (aka Lui Thompson) and his band the Honolulu Students. kcpstrings.org Tuesday, October 24 The Kahanamoku Family Musical Legacy
Stew & Rice Be Our Guest ➳ If you haven’t had a chance to attend a Stew & Rice event yet, the Historical Com- mittee encourages you to add one to your calendar before the end of the year. You’ll not be disappointed (as evidenced by con- sistently sold out events!). We’ve recently featured a night of music and spontaneous hula, plus an informative discussion on the 52-year history of the Transpacific Yacht Race, where passionate testimonies were shared by OCC members who are avid sailors. Not only will you learn new stories that bring to life our shared history, but also ones that open your mind. You’ll share a night of aloha with loved ones and likely make new friends. We invite you to join us at our September and October events at 5:30 p.m. on the Koa Lanai.
