MELE MURALS is a documentary on the transformative power of modern graffiti art and ancient Hawaiian culture for a new generation of Native Hawaiia96ns. At the center of this story are the artists Estria Miyashiro (aka Estria) and John Hina (aka Prime), a group of Native Hawaiian charter-school youth, and the rural community of Waimea, dealing with the ill effects of environmental changes and encroaching modernization on their native culture.
Director and editor Tad Nakamura will join us for a Q&A following the screening!
