Edith Kanakaʻole World Oli Festival is an interdisciplinary conference centered on oli (Hawaiʻi chant). Oli is vibrational expression and a primary technology and mode of communication, anchored in the Hawaiʻi soundscape, that is easy to access. The pursuit of relationships in resonance with our environment can take many forms, which is why EKWOF honors multiple ways of knowing and multiple intelligences. This festival is for ANYONE interested in learning to connect to place and apply that connection to your personal and professional life. You will gain access to oli guides via our concert, backstage passes, in ʻAha, workshops, Co-Keynote presentations, an Oli Challenge, and our Wa Kanaloa Integrated Arts Market. If you are curious, this is for you! For more information and to register visit www.halauohia.com/olifest2025
