This exhibit is a part of Honouliuli National Historic Site's 80 Years of Closure Commemoration which honors the permanent closing of Honouliuli Internment Camp.
The Honouliuli National Historic Site pop-up exhibit that traveled around O‘ahu last year is headed for new shores on our neighboring islands. Beginning in June, the pop-up exhibit will find new homes in public libraries across the Hawaiian Islands, on the same island that will also screen the movie Voices Behind Barbed Wire that month.
Honouliuli National Historic Site's pop-up exhibit is a series of panels that give foundational information about Honouliuli Internment Camp and its impacts as well as National Park Service stewardship of the site. For those who have never heard of the park, it is a great source of knowledge to learn an overview of the history.
Pop-up exhibit is available to view during normal library hours.
Does your citrus have spots? Are your tomatoes looking tired? Don't let your garden woes wilt your spirits. Bring your gardening questions and plant samples to the Kauaʻi Master Gardener "Plant Doctor" booth every Saturday at the farmers market.
This free community service, provided by the University of Hawaiʻi’s College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resilience, connects you with highly trained Master Gardener volunteers who specialize in tropical horticulture, pest management, and soil health. Whether you are a backyard grower or a small-scale farmer, the "Plant Doctor" is in to help your garden thrive.
For the 80 Years of Closure Commemoration of when Honouliuli Internment Camp closed, the National Park Service in partnership with the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawai‘i, Kinetic Productions, and Pacific Historic Parks, will be bringing special film screenings of "Voices Behind Barbed Wire" on all neighboring islands.
"Voices Behind Barbed Wire", a film by Kinetic Productions, tells the story of Japanese-Americans living in Hawaiʻi after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and how their families were affected by martial law. Following the film will be a panel discussion with Ryan Kawamoto, director of the film, Carole Hayashino, President Emeritus of the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawai'i, Christine Ogura, Superintendent of Honouliuli National Historic Site, and Shelley Yasuhara, a descendant of a Honouliuli incarceree.
In July, in partnership with the Kaua‘i Community College, the film will be shown at the college's Performing Arts Center on Kaua‘i. There will also be a Honouliuli NHS pop-up exhibit display at the Lihue Public Library all month in coordination with the film.
