These works represent cultures of Australia, Bangladesh, Canada (First Nations), China, Guam, Hawaiʻi, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Mongolia, Myanmar (Burma), Nepal, Papua New Guinea, Palau, Philippines, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Tonga, Torres Strait Islands, the United States, and Vietnam.

Spam can harps, rice bag drums, tin can gongs, and other musical instruments made from repurposed rubbish are on display at Hamilton Library Bridge Gallery now through mid-August. All instruments were custom built by Benjamin Fairfield, author of the illustrated children's book Kani Ka 'Opala: How can garbage sing? Fairfield (lecturer at UH and Hawai'i Pacific University) was featured last October on the Conversation as a climate-action-artist-in-residence with the State Commission on Climate Change in 2025. Come view, play, and listen to an assortment of rubbish instruments. A great way to celebrate Earth Day and aloha 'aina.
