Artists from across the Asia-Pacific come together at 7 Honolulu venues for Hawaiʻi Triennial 2022
An internationally exhibiting installation artist, UCLA Design Media Arts Professor Jennifer Steinkamp works with new media and video to explore ideas about architectural space, motion, and perception.
Hawai'i Triennial Art Festival takes place across a number of venues and celebrates Hawaiʻi’s unique position in the Asia-Pacific region through art. Expect active and immersive experiences, many outdoors, in this inaugural Hawaiʻi Triennial, HT22.
The first Hawai'i Triennial art festival unfolds this week in Honolulu. For the next 11 weeks, you'll encounter art from Hawaiʻi, the Philippines, Australia, Samoa, China, Japan and more.
One idea is to explore and rediscover Honolulu through activations in seven quite different venues: Bishop Museum, Foster Botanical Garden, Hawaiʻi Theatre Center, Hawaiʻi State Art Museum, ʻIolani Palace Royal Hawaiian Center, and the Honolulu Museum of Art.
Moananuiākea is the region touched by Pacific waters. HT22 is titled "Pacific Century – E Hoʻomau no Moananuiākea," drawing together ideas from artisit linked by the Pacfic. The works explore history, the idea of place, environmental consciousness, Indigenous knowledge and more.
Visual artist Ai Weiwei, designer of Beijing's Bird’s Nest Olympic Stadium, is an international art star for good reason. His works change peoples’ perceptions. Ai Weiwei opens Sunday in Honolulu's Foster Botanical Garden.
