i nā kiʻi ma mua, nā kiʻi ma hope | images of past futures
With KEKAHI WAHI, DAN TUALAPAPA MCMULLIN and JANNIS CARBOTTA
A curated program of moving-image works from Hawaiʻi followed by an open discussion.
images of past futures takes shape through an evening of sound, video, and poetry curated by kekahi wahi in collaboration with musician Jannis Carbotta and poet Dan Taulapapa McMullin. Acknowledging the ways that artists of Hawaiʻi, as elsewhere, are guided simultaneously by their pasts and futures, the event takes direction from the oft quoted ʻōlelo noʻeau, Hawaiian proverb and poetical saying, “I ka wā ma mua, ka wā ma hope,” the future is in the past.
I nā kiʻi ma mua, nā kiʻi ma hope (2022–2024) is an eight part screening series by an intergenerational group of contributors featuring past and present moving-image works that are of, about, and/or related to Hawaiʻi. The series was shown in two screenings at Aupuni Space, Kakaʻako on Honolulu in 2022 and 2023.
kekahi wahi is a grassroots film initiative led by filmmaker Sancia Miala Shiba Nash and artist Drew Kahuʻāina Broderick. Formed 2020, kekahi wahi is committed to documenting transformations across the Hawaiian archipelago and sharing intersectional stories of the greater Pacific through time-based media.
