Discussion | Threads of Knowledge: The Intricacies of Hawaiian Textiles (online)

Wednesday, May 17, 2023, 6:00 pm

Free

What That Quilt Knows About Me features quilts whose textiles and styles reflect global histories of conflict in the 18th and 19th centuries. One quilt in the exhibition is Ku’u Hae Aloha (“My Beloved Flag”), a rare 19th-century Hawaiian flag quilt that carries powerful political meaning in opposition to the United States’s annexation of Hawaii in 1893.

The program invites us to examine the ways in which vibrant Hawaiian cloth culture speaks to a complex system of material exchange and colonialism in the Pacific and beyond.

Native Hawaiian artist and activist Bernice Akamine draws from a long tradition of Hawaiian weaving to reflect on the islands’ current historical and ecological moment. Weaved in kapa (a bark cloth made from the wauke plant), her protest piece Hae Hawaii strips the Hawaiian flag quilt down to its most basic element to express patriotic pride and the perseverance of the lāhui (sovereignty in Hawaiian).

Joiri Minaya, a Dominican-American multidisciplinary artist, destabilizes historic and contemporary representations of Indigenous identity by concealing bodies in tropical pattern design and fabric. In her series I can wear tropical print now where she juxtaposes Aloha shirts with Hawaiian design prints, the artist reveals the colonial violence hidden in the production and consumption of tourist fantasy spaces.

In dialogue with curator Drew Kahuʻāina Broderick, Akamine and Minaya will explore the Hawaiian flag and Hawaiian-style quilt aesthetics from a post-colonial perspective. The history of Hawaiian weaving, design and pattern will serve as a springboard for a broader consideration of tropicalism, and its entanglement with settler colonialism and the appropriation of lands and traditions.
