Recorded Thursday, October 17, 2019 in Atherton Hālau

Moananuiākea is a documentary film telling the story of the Mālama Honua Worldwide Voyage of legendary canoe Hōkūleʻa.

The three-year voyage connected countless individuals and communities from around the globe. It was also the fulfillment of the vision of pwo navigator Nainoa Thompson and his contemporaries, to pass the mantle of celestial navigation to the next generation of kānaka maoli who will retain the skills of their ancestors and perpetuate this tradition for generations to come.

The film is presented by the Polynesian Voyaging Society and ʻŌiwi TV and produced by Nāʻālehu Anthony, Bryson Hoe, and Maui Tauotaha, all of whom served as crew members on Hōkūleʻa.

Panel of speakers' discussion recorded on Thursday, February 20, 2020 after film showing in Atherton Hālau.

Heart of the Sea is a documentary film about surf legend and “Queen of Mākaha,” Rell Kapoliokaʻehukai Sunn. Sunn was a founding member of the Women’s Professional Surfing Association and a beloved breast cancer activist. With exhilarating water scenes and captivating archival footage of surf culture, Heart of the Sea is an important look at Hawaiʻi’s integral part in America’s rich cultural heritage, and a stirring portrait of a courageous legend.

Thursday, October 3, 2019 in the Atherton Halau

The book Heiau, ‘Āina, Lani, meaning “Temples, Land, and Sky,” is a collaborative study by Dr. Patrick V. Kirch and Clive Ruggles, using an approach that combines archaeology and archaeoastronomy. The remarkably well-preserved archaeological landscape of Kahikinui and Kaupō in southeastern Maui includes some 78 heiau, or temple sites, ranging from small coastal fishing shrines, through agricultural fertility temples, to the imposing war temples of Loʻaloʻa and Pōpōiwi, where Maui’s King Kekaulike offered up human sacrifices.

Building on detailed mapping and study of these temple foundations, Kirch and Ruggles generated new insights into how heiau served not only as places of sacrifice and prayer, but also as locations where kāhuna observed the heavens. Observing the rising of the Pleiades (Makaliʻi), and probably also the solstices, allowed the kāhuna to calibrate the Hawaiian lunar calendar, keeping it in sync with the solar year.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/39806953Fri, 04 Oct 2019 03:54:00 +0000Bishop MuseumThe Hawaiian Temple System in Ancient Kahikinui and Kaupō, Maui with Dr. Patrick V.

Recorded on Thursday, September 19, 2019 in Atherton Halau

The Natural History collections at #BishopMuseum are an invaluable resource for artists who interpret scientific specimens differently than scientists do. Hear from the Museum’s Molly Hagemann and artist Laurie Sumiye about how a mutual love of birds developed into a friendship and a professional collaboration involving the Museum’s Avian Collection. Laurie created molds from the albatross eggs in the Museum collections and then fashioned resin eggs filled with marine debris to illustrate the impact of plastic on North Pacific albatross populations. This art installation, Laysan 1902, is now on display in the Science Adventure Center. The next collaborative project is a documentary film on the palila, a critically endangered honeycreeper. These stories increase public awareness and help preserve Hawaiʻi’s dwindling biodiversity.

with Dr. Scott Rowland, volcanologist at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa

Recorded on Thursday, August 15, 2019 in the Atherton Hālau

The spring-summer 2018 Kīlauea eruption was unprecedented in post-contact times, in terms of the nature and scale of the activity and the destruction of homes and infrastructure. Was this eruption associated with the fiery forces of Pele or could it signify an older deity, ʻAilāʻau, the Forest Eater? This scientific talk by Dr. Scott Rowland, a specialist in Volcanology in Hawaiʻi, will highlight some of the unusual aspects of the 2018 eruption, its effects, and what is yet to be learned and even un-learned from of this once-in-a-lifetime event.

Bishop Museum is delighted and honored to welcome Professor Nicholas Thomas for a presentation inspired by his latest book The Return of Curiosity: What Museums are Good For in the Twenty-first Century.

In this recent work, Thomas explores the present role of museums and positions museum collections at the core of debates on their relevance. In his book, such collections are depicted not only as invaluable resources that allow reflections on past practices, but also as creative technologies that can be used to reinvent such practices and to generate new things. As they spark the curiosity of their audience and stimulate encounters in a time of insecurity and increasing conflict, museums and their collections play an essential role. For Thomas, they help us to better understand and engage with the world we inhabit, and can thus sustain and enrich society.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/12236696Wed, 28 Jun 2017 19:53:14 +0000Bishop MuseumWhat are museums good for today?
