The Legend of Eddie Aikau chronicles the remarkable life and power of Eddie Aikau, the legendary Hawaiian big wave surfer, pioneering lifeguard and ultimately doomed crew member of the Polynesian voyaging canoe Hokule'a. This film is a compelling exploration of the tragic decline and extraordinary re-birth of the Hawaiian culture as personified by a native son whose dynamic life and heroic death served as inspiration to an entire spiritual movement. Through interviews, reenactments and dynamic historical footage, professional-surfer-turned-filmmaker Sam George uncovers Aikau's little-known personal and family history and finds a compelling allegory for the reclaiming of Hawaiian culture.
It is the final week to visit exhibitions by Kim Morgan, Sheilagh O’Leary and Jenny Yujia Shi.
Join Curator of Contemporary Art Mireille Eagan and Educator Anne Pickard in the art gallery for a conversation about the curatorial process and the role of artists and arts education today.
