Join us for a reception, gallery tour, and hands-on folding activities with Temari Hawai‘i and Sadako Peace Crane Project volunteers to celebrate the opening of the latest EWC Art Exhibition: In the Folds
Explore how traditional folding practices draw people together, strengthen existing community connections, and create new communities. Visitors to the gallery are invited to learn how to make a folded treasure and add it to a collective installation piece.
About the Exhibition
The act of folding in traditional practices range from the everyday to the ceremonial. In some practices the action and intention in folding is related to the concept of care or elevating the aesthetic value. With the practice of gift giving a protocol of exchange is fulfilled and through this action both the object and the recipient are honored and respected.
In the Folds is presented in partnership with Temari Hawai‘i and features works demonstrating folding traditions, techniques, and practices from across the Asia-Pacific region. Traditional works are displayed in juxtaposition with contemporary expressions by Hawai‘i-based artists including Arisa Terlaje Barcinas, Kamalu du Preez, Lynn Martin Graton, Vilsoni Hereniko, Marques Hanalei Marzan, Marcia Morse, and Sara Oka.
