About the "Celebrating Pacific Island Arts"
"Celebrating Pacific Island Arts" (CPIA) is a series of workshops and presentations featuring visiting artists from American Samoa and Hawai`i who are cultural practitioners in Samoan Siapo (tapa/kapa making), Hawaiian featherwork, Samoan and Hawaiian tattoo traditions and Hawaiian mele (song/poetry). These notable artists will share their cultural practice through lecture, demonstration, instruction and performance.
CPIA will coincide with the 100th anniversary of the 1915 Panama Pacific International Exposition (PPIE) celebrations scheduled taking place in San Francisco throughout the year. The PPIE had strong implications on the U.S. part in terms of marketing Pacific Island tourism and trade, and supported ideas about race as a justification of U.S. expansion in the Pacific. “Celebrating Pacific Island Arts” promises to bring a Pacific Island presence and voice to the community during the PPIE anniversary celebrations. CPIA is especially timely since California is the home of the largest population of Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders outside of their island home thus playing a major role in defining the “Pacific Island” diaspora and the master narrative of “American Identity”.
"CPIA" series is presented by Kua`aina, an Indigenous Arts and Cultures non-profit based in Berkeley, CA."CPIA "is made possible through the generous support of the Christensen Fund, The Akonadi Foundatio 2015 Beloved Community Fund and Private Donors.
