Hikoi

Honolulu Biennial 2017

 

Hikoi is conceived as a procession and series of vignettes that respond to artwork in one of the main exhibition venues in the biennial. This site-specfic work moves through the audience and envisages its gathering of voices as a choreographic affirmation of ancestral and contemporary connections to Oceania, its oceanic histories and rhythms of migration, settlement, conflict, celebration, and cultural renewal.

​

Initiated by Moana Nepia in collaboration with Kara Jhalak Miller and the University of Hawai'i at Manoa Center for Pacific Island Studies and Dance students.
