ABOUT EDIBLE TALES: HOʻOKUPU
Edible Tales: Hoʻokupu centers Native Hawaiian wisdom and turn stories about food and ʻāina into community-centered dance exploration, actions and solutions. Our 2023 theme Ho`okupu (to offer, to sprout), explores the reciprocal relationship between giving and receiving, our interconnectedness to each other, and shared pathways to build community resilience and collaboration.
Guided by Kumu Hula ʻAuliʻi Aweau, the 6-month transformative journey features hands-on work on the farm and fishponds, and Hawaiian cultural activies including Hula, oli, kuahu building, lauhala and ʻawa planting.
