Painters and ceramicists collide in "Forms of Voids." Two local artists—painter Kloe Kang and ceramicist Suzanne Wolfe—explore the symbolic power of the bowl, bridging the gap between ethereal painting and tactile clay.
After first collaborating in 2007 at the Honolulu Academy of Arts (Linekona), Kang and Wolfe reunite for a shared investigation of one of humanity's most elemental objects. The exhibit uses the simple form of a "bowl" to explore complex themes of identity and physical reality.
In this renewed partnership, the artists transition from sharing a studio to sharing a conceptual anchor. Kang’s paintings function as "visual pronouns" exploring the ephemeral state of being, while Wolfe’s ceramic forms remain rooted in material reality, layered with intricate text and imagery. It is a compelling look at how local artists collaborate and evolve across different mediums over decades.
This is Kaiser High School's 12th Annual Earth Fest.

Balinese Wayang Listrik (giant shadow puppets in combination with live action and gamelan orchestra)April 17-26, 2026*Pre-Show Chats at 6:45pm before Saturday performances
Co-Directed by Kristin Pauka and I Madé MojaAdapted from a traditional Balinese folktale by Ketut Wirtawan and Madé Moja
Panji and the Lost Princess is a large-scale Balinese shadow puppetry performance in the tradition of wayang listrik. The story is based on the Balinese interpretation of a traditional Javanese story, and adapted to the genre of wayang listrik by Balinese master artists I Ketut Wirtawan and I Madé Moja. The show is dynamically staged with giant shadow puppetry, actors, dancers, special lighting effects, and is accompanied by a live gamelan ensemble, led by master musician I Madé Widana. The style of the production, wayang listrik (Indonesian for “electric shadows”), is a recent development in Balinese shadow puppetry that emerged in the late 1990s. What distinguishes this art form from others is the inclusion of giant screens, paintings, complex lighting, 3-dimensional effects, and dancers, as well as actors behind the screen, wearing shadow masks carved in a similar manner as traditional kulit (“leather”) puppets. Moja has staged two previous wayang listrik productions at Kennedy Theatre: Subali-Sugriwa – Battle of the Monkey Kings and The Last King of Bali. We are thrilled that he will return this season to serve as the master designer and co-director of this production.

Join the Hawaii VINE project for a bird identification workshop for the first time on O‘ahu’s birds and conservation efforts!The Hawaii VINE project is a long-term research study focused on seed dispersal networks across O‘ahu. As part of our work, we conduct point counts to identify and quantify the number of birds found in certain parts of the island. Participants will learn to identify birds by sight and sound and to conduct point counts, which are essential to many bird conservation efforts.Instructors: The VINE crew is a group of biologists who double as bird enthusiasts! We are from various states and range in years of experience, but we have all dedicated our careers to field work to conserve wildlife. Part of our passion is to share and educate about birds and conservation, so we are thrilled to offer a hands-on experience. We know how important it is to learn science in real time, and we can't wait to share our work with students!The class will be held indoors and outdoors and participants must be prepared for uneven terrain and outdoor field conditions, including rain and mosquitoes.This class is open to ages 12+. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. This structured field workshop is intended for individuals who are genuinely interested in learning bird identification and conservation monitoring skills.

A pinhole camera is a simple, lensless device that uses a tiny aperture—known as a pinhole—to create an image. Essentially, it’s a lightproof box with a small hole on one side. Light from a scene passes through this opening and projects an inverted image onto the opposite surface, a phenomenon known as the camera obscura effect. The size of the projected image depends on both the distance between the subject and the pinhole, and the distance between the pinhole and the surface where the image appears.
A Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day is observed on the last Sunday of April, every year.
