Today’s shoot for the @hawaiicontemporary Summit is also a reminder of the illegal overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi in 1893. I look back at my motherland’s history and in 1898, The Treaty of Paris fails to recognize Philippine’s independence and the US acquires the PI, Guam, and Puerto Rico for $20M. Breathe ... and breathe ... I am merely one in a chain of strong women who believe that art is an engine to social change. Witness my daughter and I become the change we all deserve. I move and love with you in solidarity my sister, mother, Queen.
