Hawaiʻi Triennial 2022 “Art in Conversation” events were recorded by ʻŌlelo Community Media and are now available on the Hawaiʻi Contemporary YouTube channel.

In this Art in Conversation, artist Lawrence Seward discusses how narrative figures in his art practice and his work for Hawai’i Triennial 2022, “Seaward Sun” (2021), newspaper and mixed-media. Presented by Hawai‘i Contemporary in partnership with Hawai‘i State Art Museum. Kindly sponsored by Engaging the Senses Foundation. Recorded March 19, 2022 at the Hawai‘i State Art Museum.
Photographer and Hawai‘i Triennial 2022 (HT22) artist Ed Greevy talks about his work with journalist Noe Tanigawa. They discuss his collaborations with the late Haunani-Kay Trask, who was a prominent voice in environmental and social justice movements in Hawai‘i. Greevy and Trask worked together for decades, documenting and shaping a narrative of resistance that was published in the book Kū‘ē: Thirty Years of Land Struggles in Hawai‘i in 2004—selections from which appear in HT22 and are on view at Hawai‘i State Art Museum, now through Dec. 3, 2022.
