ABOUT THE SETTING //
Honolulu Museum of Art
New Experiences: As part of preparation for its centennial in 2027, the Honolulu Museum of Art is reinstalling its galleries to share new narratives through its extraordinary collection. Now, visitors can experience fresh perspectives on familiar favorites, like Georgia O’Keeffe’s Maui landscapes, and explore penetrating perspectives on issues close to home and from afar with recent acquisitions such as Honolulu artist Mari Matsuda’s prints of social unrest and international star Tuan Andrew Nguyen’s Calder-influenced mobile that confronts the
lasting impacts of the Vietnam War. And through April, HoMA is the place to discover the work of one of Japan’s first abstract artists. Underappreciated in the US, Onchi Kōshirō was hugely influential in his home country, and you can find out why in Lyrically Rebellious: The Prints of Onchi Kōshirō. For
almost 100 years, HoMA has been Hawai‘i’s welcoming space of discovery
and connection.
