Join us for the artists panel Traditional Palauan Arts and Stories in Contemporary Contexts. The panel will include featured artists Kalany Omengkar, Elsei Tellei, Anthony Watson, and Sequoia Tangerine Kimmel. The panel is free to the public, and seating is first-come, first-served.
The panel is part of the the exhibition Storyboards of Palau: Artistry, Influence, Impact, on view in the EWC Gallery through January 7, 2024. In this exhibition, the rich artistic heritage of Palau is explored through storyboards—planks of wood incised and carved in low relief—that tell a traditional story in pictographic and representational form. The storyboard is an art form embedded in the culture and history of Palau, and reflects the many changes the islands have undergone. Palauan master carvers, past and present, reveal the ingenuity and evolution of the storyboard spanning over 100 years.
The exhibition features storyboards from the Belau National Museum, Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, Honolulu Museum of Art Lending Collection, and many private collections.
