Incorporating paintings by Laura Kina and photographs by Emily Hanako Momohara, Sugar/Islands: Finding Okinawa in Hawai‘i
is a unique examination of worker migration and settlement from the
islands of Okinawa to the islands of Hawai‘i, prompted by opportunities
afforded by the latter’s sugar plantations and pineapple farms during
the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Kina’s Sugar and Momohara’s Islands series are individual bodies of work grounded in each artist’s own journey to uncover her family history; both examine the complex ways that the past is present in our collective and individual identities.
Forthcoming Book Publication July 12015 - in conjunction with the exhibition, Bear River Press is publishing a 50-page exhibition catalog with a foreword written by G.W. Kimura, curatorial essay by Krystal Hauseur, an invited essay by Margo Machida, an interview with the artists, and full color reproductions of all of the images in the show. ISBN -13: 978-0-9768528-2-7; ISBN: 0-768528-2-9.
