ʻOnipaʻa Reimagined: Celebrating 30 Years of Civic Engagement Through Film

ʻOnipaʻa Reimagined: Celebrating 30 Years of Civic Engagement Through Film
Join us at Aliʻiolani Hale on South King Street in Honolulu, to celebrate the culmination of Hawaiian History Month!
2023 marks the 30th anniversary of one of the most extraordinary events in Hawaiian history. Five days of commemoration and observance of the 1893 overthrow of the sovereign Hawaiian Kingdom. ʻOnipaʻa—the queen’s motto would become the community’s rallying cry then, and now.
A film by the same name—Onipaʻa, was imagined and crafted by David Kalama and crew from hours of footage, documenting events on ʻIolani palace grounds and sites throughout Honolulu’s historic district. History came alive that January in 1993, through street plays, band performances, church apologies, protests and formal cultural protocol.
Onipaʻa, the documentary film will be shown at Aliʻiōlani Hale. Join filmmakers David Kalama, Meleanna Aluli Meyer (moderating), ʻĀina Paikai, and Kekahi Wahi artists Sancia Nash and Drew Kauhaina Broderick in conversation about the importance of telling our stories, past, present and future.
