Description
Help celebrate art and national parks on the National Park Service 106th birthday! Join August’s Artist in Residence, Mary Babcock, for “Through an Artist’s Eyes,” a short walk and talk in Kahuku this Thursday, August 25 at 2 p.m. The event is free and open to everyone!
Mary Babcock is an eclectic and renowned installation and performance artist as well as professor of sculpture and expanded practices at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa’s Department of Art and Art History. In this short walk on Puʻu o Lokuana Trail, Babcock will share her perceptions about the park as well as create space for participants to acknowledge and share their own discoveries. This experience, says the artist, “will explore attending to the path, the light, the flora and fauna that cross, the feeling of the air, the internal conversation along the path, and those less easily articulated but equally significant deep perceptions best conveyed through poetry and art.”
Meet at the Kahuku Visitor Contact Station. Attendees should be prepared for sun, rain, hot & cold conditions. Wear sturdy footwear and bring water.
Kahuku is located an hour's drive from Kīlauea Visitor Center. Enter on the mauka (uphill) side of Highway 11 near mile marker 70.5, and meet near the parking area.
The Artist in Residence program is a collaboration between national parks and the National Parks Arts Foundation, and supported by the park and the Friends for Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park.
