‘Twisted Braid’: Hilo Heritage through the lens of Public Art & Film
Have you noticed two gorgeous new murals in downtown Hilo? Come share a celebratory evening highlighting Hilo community, public art and culture and learn about the rich context in which the murals were created and the grant program that helped support them in this community-centric public event.
The public is invited to a presentation about Historic Hawai‘i Foundation’s Hilo Preservation & Beautification Program. The event includes a short film premiere of ʻTwisted Braid’ by artist-in-residence and local filmmaker, Ricky-Thomas Serikawa, and a panel discussion with Miya Tsukazaki, mural sponsor and grantee Temple Children, renowned mural artist Yoskay Yamamoto, and cultural partner Keahi Warfield, Ph. D. A reception will follow.
