Hawaiʻi-based artist Kenyatta Kelechi exhibition “Laulima” is on view at HoMA from August 23, 2024 – January 12, 2025. Kenyatta (b. 1990) uses the 19th-century technique of wet plate collodion photography. The highly technical collodion process relies on the correct balance of chemicals and results in hauntingly beautiful images that resemble vintage photographs. His works examine concepts of Indigenous identity and connection to family and place. The exhibits black-and-white prints and glass and aluminum plates document and celebrate Kānaka ʻŌiwi (Native Hawaiian) cultural practitioners of today and their enduring respect and care for the ʻāina (land). Artist talk on Saturday, September 21 from 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM. Join artist Kenyatta Kelechi and HoMA curator Katherine Love as they discuss the artist’s solo exhibition. Kamaʻāina discount ticket available. More info: Kenyatta Kelechi: Laulima | Honolulu Museum of Art
