“Talk Story” with Kumulāʻau & Haunani Sing

Friday, October 27 / 4-5pm

Free & open to the public, no registration required

Join us for a "talk story" with cultural practitioners Kumula‘au & Haunani Sing! Kumula‘au & Haunani will be displaying and presenting various artifacts showcasing ‘ie basketry. In a casual and intimate setting, they will also be able to share and answer questions about how pieces were traditionally created and the complexities that come with reinvigorating the cultural practice of Ulana ʻie (ʻieʻie weaving).

Lloyd Kumula‘au Sing Jr. & May Haunani Balino-Sing are Ke Kumu Hawai‘i, a husband and wife business team who share and teach Hawaiian basketry and culture-based education programs to the community. For the last 15 years, they have provided programs for community colleges, professional staff development workshops for educators and practitioners, and have hosted privately sponsored workshops. They are educators in the public and private school sectors, sharing with aloha about Hawai‘i’s host culture.

Art with Aloha programs are supported in part by the County of Maui Office of Economic Development and the Hawai‘i Tourism Authority through the Community Enrichment Program.
