Join us for the opening of Storyboards of Palau: Artistry, Influence, Impact at the East-West Center Gallery. The opening reception will include performance, guided exhibition tours with curators, and storyboard carving demonstration.
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.
