This program is part of a five-part speaker series that harnesses community discourse around The Healer of Stones of Kapaemahu exhibition on view in Bishop Museum’s Castle Memorial Building through Oct. 16, 2022. By bringing together cultural practitioners, scholars, artists, and community organizers, the program aims to cultivate deeper understanding of the exhibition’s central themes of gender diversity, Native Hawaiian health, and the power of monuments. These talks will take place in person at Bishop Museum’s Atherton Hālau and will be streamed live for virtual participation.

Join us for a panel discussion that connects the revival of the story of Kapaemahu to the important debate on the meaning of monuments, memorialization, and the lessons of history, which has been at the forefront of national discourse over the past few years.

Speakers to be announced.
