Activation of the Well IV: A Living Room Conversation (In-person)

Thursday, June 17 from 6:00 - 7:00PM

Registration required - Capacity 6

Description: Dive into conversation about our experiences with water and the ways in which we listen and interact with it. What lessons might we learn and what will water teach us? 

Conversation will be led by Kanani Enos, a Hawaiian artist, musician, song writer, singer, healer, dancer, cultural practitioner with deep ancestral roots in South Kona. A student and practitioner of various healing arts such as hoʻoponopono, the Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness, and lomilomi, for over twenty years, Kanani specializes in creating safe spaces where participants can gather, share, inspire and heal.

Tea and light refreshments will be provided.

This program is offered as a part of the exhibition a guide to loving water, a collaborative project of James Jack and the Donkey Mill Art Center that asks the question: what happens when we listen to the water? 

In this experiential exhibition, the gallery is a participatory space for sharing methods of love for the water and land which we depend upon. Together, with the Donkey Mill Art Center, artist James Jack invites the community of Kona and beyond to engage with water, and listen to the stories and wisdom which water shares with us today. This open-ended exploration of water weaves language, creative process and indigenous knowledge to form the basis for an exhibition presenting a collection of listening to water as interdependent parts of documenting imaginative ways of connecting. 

This exhibition and programs are made possible by the Laila Twigg-Smith Art Fund of the Hawai’i Community Foundation and County of Hawaiʻi Contingency Funds from Holeka Goro Inaba (North Kona, District 8).
