Kahau’iki Village. A collaboration with the children of the neighborhood. 2023.
In summer of 2023 was gifted the opportunity by IHS, Institute of Human Services, Connie Mitchell (Executive Director), and Allyssa Koki (Kahau’iki Program Manager) to teach a class with 15-20 of the brilliant minds of Kahau’iki Village, a nieghborhood for permentant housing by IHS. I was lucky to teach these children from the end of May and the end of July, and ending the program with a collabrative mural with the children. I gave them full reigns of the operation, allowing them to design the wall with the prompt of the community’s values; Lokahi, Kuleana, Kākou, Mālama, Hoʻhohanohano, and Haʻahaʻa.
