HIGH SCHOOL Kalaheo - Kailua, Honolulu

FABRIC Natural - Cotton Linen

INSPIRATION “I really like Ellie Saab because of his detail and his whimsical, fairy tale style. But he also accentuates the female body a lot, so it’s very form ﬁtted, very ﬂattering on a lot of women,” McCleary said.

PROCESS “I think my best work comes out when I’m in panic mode because it forces me to think about what I want and how I want it to look and really forces my creative process to come together,”

FAVORITE PIECE Two-piece baby blue playsuit adorned with silk ﬂowers.

FUTURE “I really want to do a more ecological approach to fashion. So I want to do up cycled materials and work for companies that are more ecologically based . . . they use clean dyes and they don’t use fast fashion, companies that abuse their workers – I don’t want to do anything related to that at all.”

Franie Wong

Utilizing the concept of contrast in her designs for the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s Lumière Fashion Show, senior Franie Wong is experimenting with new ideas that are a culmination of her experiences both here in Hawai‘i and abroad. Born in Hawai‘i, and having lived here all her life, Wong “always wanted to travel.” After high school, she left for Los Angeles and got an associate’s degree at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM). When she decided to come back to the islands and study at UH Mānoa to get a bachelor’s degree, she also spent a semester studying fashion abroad in Florence, Italy. “It was just so much fun because I always wanted to travel to Europe . . . that’s where all the main fashion houses are. It was such an experience. It was very inspiring,” Wong said. Some of her favorite experiences came from this trip when she explored the city of Florence, sketching and visiting museums. Wong then entertained the idea of creating an Italian-inspired design theme for Lumière – something that was a “bit more romantic.” The name of her collection is “Angel Fed.” Wong wanted to incorporate lightweight fabrics like chiffon and other sheer fabrics to her designs to get an “angelic” feel. She also decided to include other design elements like pleat details and “wearable art.” “I like things that are kind of contrasting. I like to play with the idea of good versus evil,” Wong said. “For Lumière, my whole inspiration is kind of playing along the themes of an angelic and demonic look. So, it’s going to seem very pure and angelic, because it’s all white and kind of girly – kind of frilly. But then also, I’m going to have my girls have dark lips so it’s kind of like, ‘Oh, they’re demons in disguise [as] angels.’ It’s kind of a hidden intentions kind of theme.” One of the unique dresses in her collection is made with a design of collected perfume samples from retail stores. Wong said she had kept a box of perfume samples, and when thinking of how she could use them in her designs, she thought of adding them to the design of this dress.

I would love to move to New York if that’s possible. I just love to travel. There’s not a particular goal in mind. I’m just open to whatever comes along.

-“I love the whole process of designing. I love starting out with a sketch, and then I love how it ends up turning [out],” Wong said. “Because also [sometimes] it doesn’t turn out how I want it to be, but sometimes you learn to love it even more in the end.” After the fashion show, Wong hopes to get a job as an assistant designer for a company and work her way up from there. She would like to learn more about the industry through helping designers with sketches, planning, pattern-making and cutting. Her goal is to have her own fashion house one day and, hopefully, make it to New York Fashion Week. “I would love to move to New York if that’s possible. I just love to travel. There’s not a particular goal in mind. I’m just open to whatever comes along.”

“I ALWAYS CHANGE MY MIND, BUT I WANT TO BE A DESIGNER. I’M VERY SURE.”

Yuyu Liu

KRISTINA KORNEGAY // STAFF WRITER

Yuyu Liu is content with silence. However, she finds comfort in the sounds of laughter and sewing machines filling the air of the fashion design studio. She speaks softly and pauses to find the right words. “Fashion to me is . . . like magic. I can use a piece of fabric, very basic, and make it very gorgeous.” Once she graduated from high school, she moved to Hawai‘i with her family. Because she was not yet fluent in English, she chose not to attend school. “I [had] three jobs at the same time,” Liu explained. “I tried to give up to go to school because I feel English is very hard for me. I don’t understand and it’s very hard to communicate with people.”

For full articles check out: KALEO.ORG

Yuyu is not only creative, but just as importantly, what she calls ‘perseverant.’ She doesn’t give up easily and keeps moving toward her goals. – CYNTHIA TSARK INSTRUCTOR IN FD&M

It was six years before Liu began taking classes at Kapi‘olani Community College. By that point, she had found herself more comfortable speaking English and hoped to strengthen her writing. She later transferred to the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa where she chose to study fashion. The ﬁeld was not completely new to Liu. She had attended a vocational high school in China that

allowed her to major in fashion. It was there that she first learned to sew. She found the amount of focus required by the craft fitting her quiet nature. “It’s better for me to be quiet because I can concentrate. I’m very enjoyed to be quiet in a corner somewhere to do my stuff.” Liu’s designs are reminiscent of childhood dreams. The dresses are made of blue satin and silk, materials that can mimic the reflective quality of the ocean. Pearl beads decorate the fabric. The idea for this collection, which will be called “Ocean Princess,” came to her easily over winter break. However, that was not the case for the Roots Fashion Show last year. “I did over hundred sketches. I didn’t use them in the final and then I almost give up because I don’t want that and my brain was stuck,” Liu said. “This year is a lot, but not a hundred.” Her obstacles as a junior designer did not end there. Circumstances forced Liu to find a new model 45 minutes before the fashion show because she quickly discovered that the outfit measurements did not match up. “The size [was] totally different. It’s over four inches different. So I did a lot of pins,” Liu laughed. “I’m lucky the model’s hairstyle is a ponytail. It can cover up the pins. I said to her, ‘Make sure your hair is not moving.’” Stories like these reflect Liu’s dedication, a characteristic that Cynthia Tsark, an instructor in Fashion Design and Merchandising, elaborated on. After graduating this spring, Liu hopes to stay in Hawai‘i and establish her own business. She once thought that she would design swimwear, but her love for dresses leads her in a new direction: bridal gowns.

FIND FULL-TIME JOB TO FUND A MOVE TO EITHER LOS ANGELES OR NEW YORK

Darcy Shindo did not get into fashion until she was in college. “It was actually kind of on a whim. I was going to school on the mainland and I was studying economics,” Shindo said. She said her plan was to ﬁnish her undergraduate education at Willamette University, teach English in Japan and get her Master’s of Business Administration. But this plan changed when she heard about her brother’s friend who had graduated with a degree in fashion merchandising. “You can go to an institution of higher education to basically do something creative and not super serious it’s more subjective than objective and I think that’s what drew me in: there’s not really a right or wrong,” Shindo said. While back in Hawai‘i for the summer, Shindo took Fashion Design Management (FDM) 101 and decided to transfer to Mānoa in 2012. She joined the FDM program, but

she said part of her was “in denial” that she wanted to pursue the design track over the merchandising track. “Finally after semesters of taking a lot of design-oriented courses and developing a pretty strong rapport with a few faculty, I kind of accepted that design is where I should be, whether or not I pursue it after graduation,” Shindo said. One of the fabrics she is using is palaka, which she said has historical roots with her family’s history as Japanese-Americans and this fabric tells a tale of Japanese-American life. “So [the collection] kind of, in a nine look collection, represents [sic] my family history as well as my journey through this program,” Shindo said. Her collection, entitled “Novice,” is also a play on the two words “no” and “vice.” Shindo said this is related to a couple of the reusable and recyclable materials she is

using for her collections: cigarette boxes and beer bottle caps. She has spent the past semester pouring over her collection, making things match, being meticulous and precise. Despite this, Shindo said that over the course of her work on her collection, she has discovered her own patience. “I feel like [the production process] kind of brings me closer to [the collection] . . . the more I spend time working on pieces I thought that you could get sick of looking at it . . . but it’s actually really shown me what I value and what I care about,” Shindo said. Through fashion, Shindo said she has found more of her own identity and expresses this identity through what she wears. “Fashion to me has become about self-expression and being able to feel comfortable in your own skin, regardless of if you look like the models in magazines or the people you see on TV,” Shindo said.

IN TREND: LOW

VS HIGH MAINTENANCE

JUSTIN HO STAFF WRITER

Fashion trends change with time, so keeping up with the latest fads can be stressful. However, following some of the latest fashion trends may not require much money or commitment, such as shoelace chokers, bandanas or pixie cuts. But for those that want to go the extra mile, colored hair, faux freckles and ripped jeans are the high maintenance trends you’ll need to make a statement. 1. Shoelace Chokers The choker trend is going strong, and the shoelace choker is the cheapest, easiest way to take part in it. Making a shoelace choker is simple: take a single, clean shoelace and tie it around the neck. If the shoelace is long enough, the choker can be wrapped around multiple times and tied in a bow or traditional knot. If this DIY sounds too unsophisticated, buying a thin, lacelike choker is always an option. However, be prepared to spend some money. 2. Bandanas All that is needed is a bandana, whether it be from Walmart or a high-end clothing store. A bandana can be used in many ways such as

tied around the head, neck or arm. Due to the variety of prints and colors, there is a bandana to ﬁt every personality.

Besides, hair grows back, so there is room for experimentation.

3. Pixie Cuts

Coloring your hair is one of the most stressful and expensive fashion trends. Going to the salon to achieve a ﬂawless shade of blonde is pricey, but you can get the exact look you saw on Instagram. Doing it at home might not result in an even application of dye. Even if the desired color is achieved, the dye will fade over time, appearing brassy or uneven. Both processes, whether bleach

Recently, Katy Perry debuted a platinum blonde pixie cut, proving that this trend is far from over. Though cutting off long lengths of hair may be nerve-wracking, short hair can be easier to style and take care of. No one should have to go through a breakup in order to realize that a dramatic new hairstyle can be a freeing experience.

or permanent color can damage hair. However, colored hair can bring out your eye color and can be a fun addition to match with different outﬁts.

glow. Unlike tattoos or permanent makeup, they require no commitment and are easy to remove.

5. Faux Freckles

Although they may look cool, wearing ripped jeans is a high maintenance trend because they are expensive and difﬁcult to keep balanced between looking too new and too ragged. The holes in the jeans might become too large after being washed, and jeans are already prone to shrinking in the dryer. Despite these drawbacks, ripped jeans are still a trend.

Faux freckles can look natural and ﬂattering when applied correctly, but a person can easily go overboard while applying the spots with eyeliner or brow pencil. A light, precise hand is required to avoid catastrophe. Despite being high maintenance, faux freckles can give the illusion of a sun-kissed

SHOPPING IN Style ON A BUDGET Do not let your wallet dictate your fashion sense

RALPH ARISTA SENIOR STAFF WRITER

Fashion is a major part of life. Whether it is wanting to look good for someone special or wanting to look good for yourself, everyone has a different reason for dressing up. But being a college student with a budget can put a damper on shopping. Follow these simple tips and you will ﬁnd yourself shopping with ease without spending too much.

KNOW WHERE TO SHOP

BASICS ARE YOUR FRIEND

THRIFT SHOP

SHOP ONLINE

When it comes to shopping, it is a common misconception that because a piece of clothing is more expensive than another it equates to an overall better look. However, in these situations, what you are really paying for are the popular brand names, like Abercrombie & FItch, Hollister or Calvin Klein. Instead of paying for a label, you can ﬁnd quality-made, aesthetically pleasing outﬁts at stores like Old Navy and H&M for a much more reasonable price. Keep a lookout for stores that advertise sales. These in-store price reductions can drastically change the amount of money you spend. Be sure to take full advantage of stores with Buy-One-GetOne, or BOGO, offers as they will often grant you something for free or something at a reduced price.

The solution to pricey clothing designs that only match a few items in your closet is “basics.” In clothing, the term “basics” refers to any article of clothing that lacks a complicated design and is often just one color, like a plain white t-shirt or a pair of khaki pants. At most stores, clothes that are deemed “basic” are often priced lower, as the more intricate pieces are often sought after. But what may be the best attribute of basic clothing is that they offer you the ability to recombine a few reasonably priced, basic pieces to create a multitude of well-put-together outfits.

It may not be the most luxurious place to find your clothes, but you may find that shopping at thrift stores could yield some worthwhile purchases. Speaking as someone who has thrifted before, believe me when I say the deals are insane. On every one of my shopping escapades at these stores I have never encountered a piece of clothing priced more than $20. The selection is vast and may be somewhat limited in sizes, but the moment you find something you like and realize it is your size makes the trip worth it. If you do decide to go thrift shopping, just be sure to wash your purchases before wearing them to be safe.

While shopping for clothes in person gives you the opportunity to actually see what you are buying, shopping online has many advantages as well. For one, websites often offer discounts that are not available in stores and you can ﬁnd the same piece of clothing online for a lower price than what is listed in the store. Online stores also come with the advantage of being able to see your price total before you continue shopping, which can help to prevent one from going overboard and spending more than was planned.

Living aloha in style Clothing essentials all the local Wahine should have if they want to bring all the Kane to their yard DREW AFUALO / SPORTS EDITOR

Living in the islands is something that not everyone gets the opportunity to experience. When people move here from the mainland, there are bound to be some areas of adaptation – one of which is dress code. Weather in Hawai‘i involves sun, rain or both, but what remains consistent is the heat and humidity. That being said, here are some essentials that every girl should have in her closet if she is planning on living that aloha lifestyle.

SHORTIE SHORTS

These articles of clothing work well in warm weather because they look cute while keeping you cool. They can be dressed up or dressed down, depending on the occasion. They can be thrown over a bathing suit for a trip to the beach or paired with nice sandals or heels for a relaxed night out. They also help when you cannot bring yourself to put on a pair of pants, but still want to leave the house and socialize.

Since the weather is usually humid and hot, one key item to have is a good, reliable pair of shorts, preferably multiple pairs if you can afford it. They can be worn with different kinds of top, or just your bathing suit, and they function as everyday wear. They also work well when you are walking in Waikīkī and feel like pissing off that crazy church guy standing on the corner by the Honolulu Zoo, who likes to slut shame women for wearing indecently short items of clothing. Honestly, shorts are a win-win for everyone.

Living in a place where it is summer all year-round means that we need comfortable shoes that are easy to put on and take off, account for the heat and are in style. Rainbow sandals are a popular choice that come in different shades of brown, but are available in other colors as well. They go well with dresses, shorts and pants, depending on the event you are attending. However, if you want to blend even more with the local culture, Jesus sandals are e the way to go. These also come in different erent colors, including light brown,

dark brown and black. They are comfortable, affordable and available for purchase in local stores. Though you may be a dead-inside, broke college student, you will not have to dress like one. Although these are suggestions that I feel should be staples in a girl’s closet when living in the islands, one of the best things about Hawai‘i is the simplicity that comes with fashion here. So wear whatever is comfortable and makes you feel beautiful, because girl you are.

The aloha shirt is a versatile piece of clothing that can be used for both business and formal situations. If you plan on staying in Hawai‘i for a while, you should invest in shirts. a few aloha shirts

HOW TO WEAR YOUR ALOHA SHIRT Before you choose to go with an aloha shirt, always double check the dress code for your planned destination of event. In the absence of clear dress codes, however, aloha shirts are usually a good fall back. Aloha shirts are versatile in where they can be worn and in how they can be worn. You can match one with jeans, slacks or shorts. Tennis shoes and dress shoes are also fair game. To be safe, though, you should wear slacks with your aloha shirt, and the color of the slacks should be lighter during the day and darker at night, but black is usually a safe color. The color rule also applies to the shirt itself (i.e. lighter colors during the day and darker ones at night). Wear loafers or Oxford shoes with your slacks, but make sure the color of your shoes matches

that of your belt. The size of the aloha shirt can also be a bit different for some people. They are not as fitted as traditional dress shirts so you may find d that it is a little baggy, which is fine. But if you u want something more form-fitting, get a size smaller than you usually do for button-down shirts. rts. However, do not spend the money to get et it tailored unless your body is too unique for off-therack sizes. Getting a smaller or larger size is a better way to go than getting a tailor. When it comes to actually wearing an aloha shirt, there is a debate as to whether or not one’s shirt should be tucked in. Governor David Ige tucks his in, but some business people you see walking down the street do not. Really it is up to you, but many aloha shirt models do not tuck them in. n.

WHERE TO BUY YOUR ALOHA SHIRT RIX

M AN U H E AL I‘ I

With ﬁve locations across the island, Rix has aloha wear for men and women – shirts, dresses, shorts and T-shirts. They make high-quality shirts, but they come at a high price: all their aloha shirts run for $69.50. Having at least one Rix shirt is good for those who plan on living in the islands for a few years. It is brand-name aloha wear that can go a long way with impressing people.

Located in Kailua and Honolulu, Manuheali‘i nuheali‘i is better known for their aloha print dresses. sses. While they still sell aloha shirts for men, they ey do nott have as wide a selection as Rix or Hilo Hattie. Their prices for aloha products are similar to those of Rix, so just having one or two things from here is more economical.

H I L O H AT T I E Located on O‘ahu, Maui and Kaua‘i, Hilo Hattie provides cheaper alternatives to Rix shirts. They still run at over $30 each, though. They offer sets of matching aloha wear for families and a variety of designs, from ﬂoral patterns to detailed scenery. Hilo Hattie is a good option if you are on a budget, but you might give off a tourist vibe while wearing their pieces.

REYN SPOONER With three locations in Honolulu, onolulu, Reyn Spooner offers the most expensive e aloha printt products of this list, with their shirts being priced at either just under or over $100. They also offer long sleeve aloha shirts, rts, if that is your style, but the selection is more limited. mited. Reyn Spooner is not the most budget-friendly et-friendly option, but if you feel like splurging on yourself ourself or someone else, check out their products.

Itsy bitsy, teeny weeny, (probably not yellow polka-dot) bikinis One of the essential items to have when living in Hawai‘i is a swimsuit, and as we head into the summer, it is time to start stocking up on different types of this essential beach apparel. Here are some of the local and national brands of bikinis that are catching the eye of beach-goers in the islands.

TAK AM I B I K I N I S Everyone loves a local swimwear brand. One that is rising in popularity here on O‘ahu is Takami Bikinis, created and handmade by University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa student Koko Lavezzi. Crocheted by Lavezzi

herself, she started an Etsy store for her creations, which run from $25 to $50, and has accummulated quite the following on social media, promoting her individually crafted suits.

‘ O L AL A S W I M W E AR Another local brand to look for here in the islands is ‘Olala. Located on the Big Island, this brand also handcrafts its swimsuits. Each suit is reasonably priced, ranging from $15 to $50, and made of good material, so it will last for quite a long time. The brand offers bathing suits for keiki, or children, which are also unique

in style and design. If you are looking to buy local and be in style, I recommend ‘Olala Swimwear.

SAN L O R E N Z O Now I know what you are thinking, “Who has $200 to spend on a bathing suit when they have to buy food and water for themselves?” But stay with me on this one. Although San Lorenzo can be pricey, ranging from $50 to $200, there are deﬁnite beneﬁts to purchasing a swimsuit that is on the more expensive side. They are one of the more popular brands here in Hawai‘i, and with so many beach trips in your daily life, it might

be worth it to splurge on one fancy swimsuit. You can also take pictures in your bikini, tag them on Instagram and maybe gain more followers. Doesn’t the possibility of achieving social media fame make it all worth it in the end? If you are looking to expand your bathing suit collection, or need to alleviate that ﬁrst-world problem of not wanting to take pictures at the beach, nothing says “I’m a strong, independent female who don’t need no man” quite like wearing a beautiful, unique bikini on the beaches of Hawai‘i.

MARA MAHONEY / INTERN

PREVIEW The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s Campus Center Board Activities Council (CCBAC) will present its annual Aloha Bash concert at the Andrews Amphitheater, with reggae act Fiji headlining. This year’s Aloha Bash is set apart from previous years as the emphasis will be on the student experience leading up to and surrounding the concert itself. CCBAC Chair Ashley Kupau said in an e-mail to Ka Leo, “Aloha Bash 2017 is different than previous years because we’re really highlighting the students, those that attend the event as well as those that planned the event. We are going to be giving away a lot more Aloha Bash gear such as T-shirts, baseball caps, bandanas and more. We really want to underline the community of UH and the tradition of Aloha Bash all over again.” During the kickoff event held on April 3 in Campus Center Courtyard, students were able to begin purchasing tickets and received free Aloha Bash gear. This year

students have the opportunity to partake in a meet and greet with the bands and receive a free meal and T-shirt in exchange for volunteering at the Bash. In previous years, some of the biggest names in Hawaiian reggae music have performed at Andrews, including the likes of the Common Kings, The Vitals, Anuhea, The Green and Kimie. “When we have these types of events, I look for fun. I look for stress-free. I look for just having a really good time and just really unifying our student body and the community of UH,” Kupau said. “We’re such a special community and our university is so different from other universities on the mainland. I just really want to celebrate that and just have some fun.” This year’s upcoming Aloha Bash will mark the tenth year that this student event has been held. Ashley Kupau is a senior in the UH Mānoa system who realizes the value of Aloha Bash to the character of the UH community. She talked

to Ka Leo about the generational aspect of the bash, and how it can be a shared memory for families of UH alumni. “Aloha Bash is one of the things that makes UH special. I have family members — my dad graduated from UH too — and, he remembers [past Aloha Bash concerts], all the different events in Andrews [Amphitheater]. My cousins all came to Aloha Bash before, so it’s a very family environment,” Kupau said, explaining what she would like students to take away from the annual event. There will be a “Last Chance for Aloha Bash 2017” event on Monday, April 24 to purchase tickets at pre-sale prices.

MAHKESS

FINN GRUVA

Headlining this year’s bash is Na Hoku Hanohano award winning artist Fiji. Fiji is one of the most recognized Polynesian artists in the world, known for his musical style fusing reggae, hip-hop, R&B and jazz genres to create a sound that represents the mixing of cultures found in island life. Born George Brooks Veikoso, Fiji was raised in the Fiji Islands, eventually taking the name of his home as his stage name to honor his roots. Fiji’s music is well-known in Hawai‘i, and he even won a Na Hoku Hanohano Award in 1998.

Local group Mahkess hopes to spread the the message “This is ME, being FREE” along with a classic island sound. This group has been featured at various venues and events and has built a social media following.

Finn Gruva, born Haiﬁne Latapu, recounts his ﬁrst musical experience listening to old Tongan folk music from his parents. Gruva decided to pursue a career in music with a blend of R&B and reggae beats. Much of Gruva’s success manifested after catching the attention of the Polynesian community.

MAOLI

TENELLE

Maoli, founded in 2007 by musicians Glenn Awong and Kana Akiu-Corpuz, appeals to both local and international artists with singles like “Write Me a Letter” and “No One.” In 2012, Maoli toured with reggae icons like J Boog, Katchaﬁre and Fiji.

Californian songstress Tenelle, who attributes her love of singing to listening to Lauryn HIll and Gwen Stefani and watching ﬁlms like “Sparkle,” will also make an appearance. In 2013, Tenelle released hit singles like “Flava” and “Get Some.”

INTROSPEKTRA Opening for Fiji is the local band Introspektra. Composed of students from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, Introspektra has been featured on KTUH, Star 101.9 and have played at various venues in town. Their musical prowess has won them UH Mānoa’s Battle of the Bands in 2016.

Dyed pieces of human skin, immersive multi-media projections and an entangled mass of ﬁshing nets all greet visitors in the “Artists of Hawai‘i 2017” show at the Honolulu Museum of Art. This year’s exhibition is the ﬁrst curated by the museum’s recently-added arts of Hawai‘i collection curator, a position held by University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa MA graduate Heal-

oha Johnston. The show offers a departure from previous years, focusing on room-sized installations that encourage rethinking how one experiences and interacts with art. Johnston played a critical role in communicating with the artists throughout the production of their work – evident in the show’s cohesiveness despite the extent of media used.

Kaili Chun & Hongtao Zhou Moving through the gallery, visitors encounter a collaborative effort between two artists: Kaili Chun, a lecturer at Kapi‘olani Community College and current PhD candidate in architecture at UH Mānoa, and Hongtao Zhou, an assistant professor of the School of Architecture at UH Mānoa. The duo created “Net_ work” (2017) by stretching ﬁshing nets around the gallery, physically sculpting the space based on the many ways Hawai‘i is connected to the rest of the world. The nets represent the role Hawai‘i plays in the worldwide ﬁshing economy, while their path in the gallery suggests the shipping routes that are a necessary evil since Hawai‘i imports the majority of its goods.

“The installation plays with ideas of agency and autonomy in a global economy, and foregrounds notions of self-empowerment within predetermined systems. As visitors enter the system of nets, they will ﬁnd their own direction on paths that lead through the installation,” Johnston said. “Net_work” intends to prompt introspection on one’s ability to ﬁnd self-awareness in existing paradigms, and draws attention to Hawai‘i’s multifaceted connections to the rest of world. This continuing idea of interconnectivity permeates from each work in “Artists of Hawai‘i 2017,” on view at the Honolulu Museum of Art through May 28. SOURCE: BRYE KOBAYASHI / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Kaori Ukaji Entering the gallery space, visitors are ﬁrst confronted by a hanging canvas featuring an elliptical form intricately created from the repeated looping of red yarn. This is the work of Kaori Ukaji, a lecturer at Hawai‘i Community College. Her installation ,“Serenely Proliferating” (2017), focuses on the idea of repetitive mark making and is concerned with ideas about the physical body and its ability, or lack thereof, to regenerate and heal itself. Along with the hanging canvases looped with yarn, “Serenely Proliferating” also includes two objects featuring the artist’s own pigment-dyed skin, a collection of stained rolls of tissue

paper and a large sheet of paper upon which she repeatedly made marks. The sculptured collections of Ukaji’s skin draw the most attention and widest range of responses due to its delicate nature and unusual, and somewhat unsettling, medium. All of her works are connected by their use of red, a color associated with blood. Johnston explained via email, “Ukaji’s recent reckoning with her health prompted ‘Serenely Proliferating’ as she grappled with the body’s ability to heal itself through cellular production and the natural course of degradation due to age or illness.” SOURCE: AARON KATZEMAN / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Kasey Lindley In the last room is Kasey Lindley’s video installation “Intertidal Grandeur” (2016). Incorporated in her piece, intertidal zones are the areas where the sea meets the ocean and organisms are either exposed or underwater. Lindley is the youngest participating artist in this year’s show, and her piece consists of four projectors, each playing a different looping video feed on the four walls of the gallery. The videos contain cropped and overlaid combinations of photos, videos and watercolors done by Lindley as she experienced intertidal zones around the island. Accompanying the projections is an audi-

tory component taken from an intertidal zone by Makapu‘u, which gives the piece a breathing sensation. By combining the mediums of photography, videography and watercolors, Lindley is critiquing the limits of traditional genres of landscape depiction, proving the difﬁculty of fully recreating the experience of being in nature itself. Instead, Lindley gives the viewer a chance to be present in her creation of intertidal zones, as visitors’ shadows fall onto the piece.

Embodied in Bronze KRISTINA KORNEGAY STAFF WRITER

Distorted faces are piled upon the desk and clinging to the walls of Art Room 203. Bai Xin Chen sits on the stained concrete ﬂoor. He is surrounded by hardware and pieces of wood as he sculpts yet another face for his upcoming exhibition. “Making sculpture is rough and dirty work,” said Fred Roster, the chair of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s sculpture program. “Ironically, Bai Xin is always clean and well dressed, but never hesitates to take on the most physical projects.” Before moving to O‘ahu when he was 10 years old, he trained under a printmaker in Hong Kong who fostered his ability to draw. Eventually, he found himself craving more than paper could offer. “I got very tired of it,” Chen said. “I just kind of told [the printmaker], ‘I don’t want to draw anymore.’ When I moved to America, I discovered this whole other medium.” As a teenager, he started to prefer working in the 3-D realm. He brought his sketches to life, sculpting them out of bronze and wood.

After graduating from McKinley High School, Chen came to UH Mānoa with plans to study architecture. He spent some time in the program, but ultimately decided to pursue an art degree instead. “I didn’t like all that math – physics and all that stuff. It’s insane. But I still liked the process of making something. That’s when I knew that [art] was where I needed to be.” The path was deemed less practical by those around him. He knew that he was giving up financial stability. Despite that, he left his job as a bartender to focus on sculpting. “It was like, ‘Why would you risk your life being an artist?’ Right now the only way I make money is through commission. That’s never a steady thing. One month I’ll get several thousand, then for the next year I’ll get nothing,” Chen said. “It’s either that, or you find a full time job and never make art again.” Much of Chen’s inspiration stems from the human body. For three years, he has been fascinated with creating warped faces. “I look at a person’s face and I find features that I really like – their nose, chin or mouth. I combine them with

mountains I see, like Diamond Head.” This blend of place and person is meant to imitate a tourist’s gaze. Chen will continue to explore themes of distortion in the upcoming BFA Exhibition. His sculptures will be hidden behind three false walls. Visitors will have to peer through door viewers in order to see them. “The door viewer represents my high astigmatism. My vision is warped in a way. My [eyeglass] lenses are pretty thick. The door viewer plays with distance. Things look as if they were very far, when they’re very close,” Chen said. “I wanted people to see what I see.”

After Chen graduates this spring, he hopes to stay in Hawai‘i for a couple of years before moving back to China. He admits that he doesn’t know anyone in the art community there yet.  GABRIEL ESTEVEZ / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

JONEL JUGUETA Combining aesthetics with social issues

Jonel Jugueta, a senior in the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s BFA of Print Media program, took his ﬁrst photographs shortly after high school with a borrowed camera. He started with simple landscapes until he bought his own camera a year later. However, after graduating high school and attending Leeward Community College, Jugueta was still not sure of his career interests or his passion for photography. “Out of high school, I didn’t know what to do and I was just exploring anything and my parents wanted me to get into business and after that become a lawyer,” he said. “And

I told them, ‘I don’t want to do that; that’s not me.’” After obtaining his associate’s degree and ﬁnding his way to UH Mānoa, his parents gave him the okay to get a degree in anything he wanted. He chose photography. As a photography student, Jugueta’s work focuses on portraiture, the art of portraying people or objects either in the studio or at events. Hanging on the walls of his studio are black and white portraits for a BFA project that features Filipino-American subjects. “I want people to see how Filipinos leave the Philippines, knowing nothing about the new land and learn to see each other as one,” Jugueta said. As a Filipino immigrant, he uses the project to address today’s sociopolitical climate on

immigration by focusing on the way immigrants help each other succeed in their new communities. “In the Philippines there is class hierarchy, but when they leave that hierarchy disappears and every Filipino tries to help each other out when living and working outside the Philippines,” he said. “So, I wanted the viewers to walk away with a sense of that no matter what kind of Filipino you are or how you look, the blood of the Filipino is always the same.” For other projects, Jugueta has used a large format camera, which utilizes 4x5 foot sheet film. The camera comes in handy when creating double exposure photography, an aesthetic he sometimes uses for his portraiture. His favorite BFA project was for an advanced lighting class in which he used a dream he had of free-flowing grass as an inspiration. “I used double exposure techniques with images of grass, flowers, tree barks, and anything that is with nature. Then I overlaid these images of nature with portraits of people who were significant to me at that time.” After graduating, Jugueta plans to join his father in the construction industry while practicing his art. When asked where he hopes his degree will take him next, he said “in galleries.”

TAYLOR JOHNSON At home in art JASMINE YI SOCIAL MEDIA EDITOR  BRYE KOBAYASHI /

People often look into their family histories, drawn by the question of identity and belonging. Taylor Johnson, a senior in the BFA of Print Media program, finds her answers through art. “I intend for my work to evoke a somber sense of nostalgia in my viewers,” Johnson said. “I’m trying to recreate the familiar space of a family home.” In her work, Johnson compares human-made structures with those left behind by animals. She takes images borrowed from old photographs, mostly from 1940s and ‘50s family albums, and combines them with different dwellings, moths and birds. “I’m fascinated by how elements of each of these places can be pieced together to form a more collective idea of ‘home,’ even if the resulting location is completely fictional,” she said. “They reflect on ideals of close family ties, the perfect domestic home, and a closer connection with

KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

nature. The moths and birds — both of which experience short life spans — suggest the fleeting nature of these memories. I’m especially interested in how memory is tied to place.” Johnson grew up on Maui but has family roots in Wisconsin and Norway. She uses images that represent homes and families from those personally significant locations. Johnson has always been interested in location and explored this through a method called relief printmaking. Now she works in lithography, a method using a flat slab of limestone on which she draws using a lithographic crayon. The stone is rolled up with an oil-based ink and sponged with water. The image area, which attracts grease, retains the ink while

the rest of the wet stone resists the ink and remains clear. This process is repeated until the stone is properly rolled up, and the image is then printed on paper as it is run through a press. Her prints will be shown in the upcoming BFA showcase. Taylor Johnson had an early exposure to art and strong support from her family. “My mom and dad kept me fully stocked with supplies and enrolled me in extracurricular art classes from a young age,” she said. “There’s never been a doubt that I would pursue art as a career.” She began exploring printmaking in high school, and continued pursuing the medium at the University of Hawai‘i Maui College, she got

GABRIEL ESTEVEZ / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

The art of working with glass is an ever-changing reﬂection of the human condition. Amber O’Brien moves around the “Hot Shop” with purpose, breathing life into molten material. The psychology major and Bachelor of Fine Arts student highlights this connection through her work in this year’s BFA Exhibition. Using an installation of glass panes melted onto her own human form, 14-foot walls and windows, she will attempt to highlight what is real. O’Brien explained the initial inspiration behind her project. O’Brien notices the shadows everywhere, behaving as freely as the glass that she manipulates. “When I ﬁrst came up with this idea, I was looking through old photographs from the 1960s, and there’s this photographer, Lucien Clergue,” O’Brien said. “He’s a French photographer that took nude photos of women in the blinds, in the shadows

serious about a career in printmaking when she came to the Mānoa campus and got involved with the printmakers on O‘ahu. “The community of printmakers here is so strong and I realized that this communal aspect of art-making was really important to me,” Johnson said. “Art has become so much more

from the blinds.” Clergue’s images revealed a new lens that she was able to peer through everywhere she went. She elaborated on the photographs and explained how, “the lines would dance over the ﬁgure. And then I started seeing shadows dance over things. All of the time . . . And then I wanted to make the shadows real.” “The blinds create these horizontal shadows that are straight lines, but when they hit something that exists, it shapes to that form,” O’Brien said. “If something’s not real, it goes right through it, like the atmosphere, the air, dust particles, empty space. But if something’s there, a person, the shadows will form to them. They’ll unstraighten themselves to show that this person exists.” The striped glass panes melted onto a mold of her body, which she refers to as a “body slam,” will be hanging in her installation. The bold lines across the ﬁgured panes will mimic the truthful nature of those blinds. O’Brien spoke of the fundamental lesson of being able to accept failure, as a lesson that can be learned through glass work. “Glass takes patience. You have to be able to wait for the glass . . . And if it breaks you have to be patient with yourself, and try again.” “My work tries to draw a parallel between the material and human

nature,” O’Brien said. “When glass gets hot, you can work with it, and it moves, and it’s easy going when it’s warm. When it’s cold, it’s sharp and brittle and fragile. When you contextualize that into human emotions or the human psyche, it’s really easy to draw that comparison.” O’Brien spoke about Chinese-Buddhist folklore of the ‘hungry ghosts’ that drive our innermost desires. The hungry ghosts are the souls of people who died as a result of undesirable acts or vices. These ghosts are said to linger and feed off of the living. She is trying to demonstrate the unseen desires and emotions that drive us to do things that deﬁne who we are. “What the [body slam] is, it’s sort of like that hungry ghost,” O’Brien said. “It’s there but it’s not there. There’s going to be vessels underneath her that can hold things, but, she can’t hold something because she’s just this empty shell.” There is no one word that sums up O’Brien’s installation. Behind the project is a cohesive web of thoughts and ideas that has led her to further explore her craft and her surroundings. The uncontrollable nature of glass forces artists to work in collaboration with the medium and reﬂectthemselves to their art. Placing viewers into the realm of her own thoughts and inspirations, Amber O’Brien has created a culmination of mystery and discovery.

More than graphic design

KIMBERLEE SPEAKMAN MANAGING EDITOR

Evolving from an illustrator to a graphic designer, senior Shelly Amine has come a long way from her drawing roots. As one of seven Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) majors with a concentration of graphic design, Amine will be displaying her design work at the graphic design BFA portfolio showcase on May 11. Born and raised here in Hawai‘i, she went to college in San Francisco for a few years before returning to O‘ahu and attending the Univerisity of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. Her graphic design instincts evolved from her sketching, which she has done for as long as she remembers. “I always felt that design is all about making things really pretty or beautiful for others. I found that very inspiring because I want to make work that is helpful for others, and also create something beautiful that others can react to,” Amine said. IMPACT OF ASIAN GRAPHIC DESIGN

One of her main inspirations for her work is the designs of Japanese packaging.

“There’s something about [the designs] where you see things that are super crazy and just like have so much color, and yet it’s still all very sophisticated. But then there are things that are so simple and so minimalistic, and it’s awe-inspiring to see how they can do that,” Amine said. “And I feel like that’s something I want to do too. I want to make something that is super crazy, but also make something that is super simple. Just trying to tap into both ends of the spectrum.” One of Amine’s graphic design projects for the BFA, in which she designed event invitations, heavily reﬂects this use of simplicity and color. The mock event that she created was a graphic arts show that highlighted the works of James Jean, whose work is among those that Amine admires.

ONE OF SEVEN

Amine is not alone in these graphic design projects. She has been working with fellow graphic designer Adrian Luna on creating the identity and design for the graphic design portfolio showcase on May 11 called “ebb+ﬂow.” Amine noted that the seven members of the graphic design BFA program this year are close, probably because of the the size of their group. “I think it’s very fun because I think we’re a group that gets along very well,” Amine said. “Because of that, I feel that we try our best to help each other a lot. We’ve had to go through so many all-nighters and so many crazy, crazy days . . . but I think that the really great thing about our class is that I think we’re all there to help each other out when we need it and give each other advice.”

WHAT IS NEXT

Amine hopes to return to San Francisco one day after she graduates, and perhaps do graphic design work for an Asian make-up company based there, such as Beneﬁt Cosmetics. “I think I would just like to keep doing design, whether or not it’s something that I do full-time or if

it’s something that I do on the side. It’s deﬁnitely something that I just want to keep doing because I guess in a sense, you never know where life will take you. So, I feel like as long as I get the opportunity to keep doing design — and also get paid for it — that’s something I see myself going into.”

IRA-JORDAN VILLAFRANCA Bringing comics to the gallery

 HIU KI AU / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

The inspiration for Villafranca’s story came from a piece he submitted to join the BFA program.

Ira-Jordan Villafranca, a Campbell High School grad and Ewa Beach resident, has aspired to be an artist since he was young. “Ever since I was young I liked to draw so even back in kindergarten I kinda delcared that my career would be art,” Villafranca said. However, after graduating from high school and Leeward Community College, he attended the University of Hawai‘ i at West O‘ahu to study business because art had no longer become viable. His wife, though, pushed him to pursue art. “It wasn’t so much that I realized that it was viable but that I could make it viable, I realized that even thought there aren’t widely available jobs if you can sort of put in the work and create your own market,” Villafranca said. When he ﬁrst came to the art program at University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, Villafranca felt that the art he was doing seemed disingenuous. After some time, he decided he wanted to stick with what he loved doing, com-

MOMOE NAKAJIMA Sitting comfortably at the wheel

CHRISTINA YAN SPECIAL ISSUES EDITOR

Floor to ceiling racks of previous ceramic students’ vases, bowls and statues surround Momoe Nakajima, the only ceramics major in the BFA program this year, as she sits at the wheel sponging water onto the disk before throwing a fresh piece of clay on to it. Throwing clay at the wheel and shaping a piece takes Nakajima a few tries, especially for class assignments where she is known for throwing five times and finding the best one to use. Depending on the size and how intricate the designs are, the process from throwing at the wheel to the last firing in the kiln can take a piece two to three weeks to complete. “When I get something assigned that’s out of my comfort zone it definitely pushes me to learn something new,” Nakajima said as she wire-cuts the clay she requires.

Nakajima’s showcase pieces went through three firings bisque, glaze and then luster. The luster firing was inlaid with gold.

ics and cartoons – what he said some might consider “low-art.” Despite what some people might think of comics and cartoons, he wanted to bring them into the gallery setting. “[I want] to focus on the potential of cartoons and comics to talk about real issues and like really be on the level of ﬁne art in the things they’re trying to talk about,” Villafranca said. His piece will be structured like a room which, on the outside will resemble a scene from a comic book, but one can walk through the piece. He wants to replicate the experience of being immersed in a comic book by creating an environment that literally puts the audience in the comic world. “I didn’t feel like it was enough to just do [comics] for the show here, there needed to be more, I didn’t know what I could do that could be condensed into one body of work that would just be viewed at the place because most of the stuff I want to do is in book form,” Villafranca said. Villafranca’s work, though is not focused on a speciﬁc issue, but rather on the idea of people reading what they see in the media on a surface level.

“The stuff in my work, I’m trying to keep it general and I mostly wanted to talk about just the way that terrible situations in politics, not specifically in U.S. politics but around the world, kind of take a backdrop to a lot of people’s life,” he said. The premise of Villafranca’s piece is that there are two people made of smoke who are working for their government to kill monsters which the government also created. Villafranca’s work is inspired by comic artists Scott McCloud and Mobius and shows like “Game of Thrones,” “Rick and Morty” and “Attack on Titan.” Mobius in particular inspired the piece Villafranca will be featuring in the exhibition because, like Mobius, he is including minute details in his work that add depth to the story. “In the exhibition, it’ll be like ﬁghting monster’s in stuff, but in the background you can piece together this story of things going on in the world,” Villafranca said. After graduation, Villafranca is going to take a year to work on a graphic novel based on the concept depicted in his exhibition piece and explore life as an artist without the structure of

school. He eventually wants to apply to graduate school and contribute to the Hawai‘i comics industry. “I’m actually trying to get together some like-minded people . . . to make local comics because there is a local comics scene and I’d like to contribute to it,” Villafranca said.

During the time-consuming process, Nakajima spends 80 plus hours a week at the studio and her job as a kiln and glaze technician in the ceramics studio at Windward Community College. “I’m lucky that I get to surround myself and work with ceramics instead of another job,” she said. Nakajima started with hand designing before moving on to wheel-throwing. After taking classes, she realized it was her favorite style. “I can feel myself getting better and learning new skills too, so I think it’s forever going to be wheel-throwing classes,” Nakajima said. A lover of art since she was little, Nakajima had never taken ceramics seriously, even with a few ceramics classes under her belt in high school. A transfer from WCC, where she was originally an elementary education major, Nakajima came to UH Mānoa when she decided it

was time to get serious about her love for ceramics. With the support of her mother to ﬁnd something that she loved, Nakajima found herself looking for inspiration from those closest to her. While she is at the wheel though, she often ﬁnds that her favorite pieces have been the ones that she never planned out or intended to throw away. “I started taking different art classes, I think at the end of the day I just really liked the people I was working with at ceramics and it made it really fun for me,” Nakajima said. Being able to draw on her pieces allowed Nakajima to combine her love for drawing and ceramics – a love that she believes she will never have to give up. Nakajima’s work in the upcoming BFA exhibition showcases pieces that she has worked on during the semester. After graduation, Nakajima plans to stay in Hawai‘i for a few years before moving to the mainland for school, before eventually teaching. Despite her love for teaching, Nakajima envisions another future for herself. “That would be the dream, if I could get my own studio and just invite all my friends over to get together and throw.”

Get your own garden started Growing your own vegetables will save you money

ANGELINA SPENCE ASSOCIATE OPINIONS EDITOR

Thinking of starting your own garden? Gardening can save you money on produce and provide a therapeutic outlet for stress. Setting up your ﬁrst garden might seem like a daunting task, but if you take it step by step, before you know it, you will be producing more vegetables than you can eat. 1. FIND A SPOT FOR YOUR GARDEN

Most vegetables require at least six hours of sunlight per day, so make sure you choose a sunny spot for your garden. In addition to sunlight, your garden will need water, so make sure that it can be reached with a hose. If you choose to grow your plants in the ground, you will want to avoid trees with large roots that may interfere with the growth of your vegetables.

2. CHOOSE A STYLE OF GARDENING

There are a few different gardening styles to choose from when you begin your garden: in-ground, raised bed cultivation or container gardening. In-ground In-ground gardening can be difﬁcult because the dirt in your yard will most likely lack the crucial nutrients your plants will need to grow, and cultivating your soil will take time. If you are willing to wait, you can add organic materials such as compost, dried leaves, grass clippings or manure to your soil and wait a few months for the nutrients to absorb. Raised Bed Cultivation For a quicker start to your garden, you may want to opt for a raised bed setup. Raised beds also allow for greater control of soil quality and water drainage. You can use almost any material to build your garden, but beware

of chemically treated wood. The ideal dimensions are three feet wide, six feet long and one to two feet deep. Once you have built your garden bed, ﬁll it with potting soil, a planting mix and compost. The compost will ensure the nutrients provided by the planting mix will be absorbed by the soil. Container Gardening Container gardening can provide the same control of soil quality and water drainage as raised bed cultivation but with less effort. Although, depending on the size of the containers you use and the plants you grow, this method can take up more space. The mobility of the containers allows you to move your plants to the sunniest spot possible without having to uproot your entire garden. However, your potted plants will require more water than in-ground or raised bed cultivation, and larger crops could get cramped. As plants mature, make sure you accommodate them

JAM HOUGH CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Here at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, there are many different students with various interests; there is one group here that is interested in cultural and environmental sustainability.

by moving them to larger pots. The same soil rules apply to this method as with the other two: planting mix and compost should provide enough nutrients for your vegetables.

tomatoes, zucchinis do best in a warm, sunny climate. Radishes thrive in moist soil with good drainage. These crops will be ready to harvest three to four weeks after planting.

3. PICK YOUR PLANTS

When you are ﬁrst taking on gardening, do not overload yourself with too many plants. Listed below are a few easy plants to get your garden started. If there are speciﬁc vegetables you like, make sure you look into the conditions they require. Carrots require deep soil and good drainage. You will know they are ready to harvest when their tops peek out above the soil. Tomatoes are known for loving the sun, so they will thrive in Hawai‘i. They do tend to sprawl though, so they may require you to use stakes for some vertical support. Zucchinis will yield a plentiful crop – usually two plants are enough for a small family. Like

The Paciﬁc Advocates People’s Association (PAPA) Club is interested in connecting the university to the community through civic engagement, according to club president Daven Chang. Within PAPA, there are projects and events related to raising community awareness and teaching to sustain traditions. There are two types of sustainability that PAPA helps with, though the primary one is cultural sustainability. The group works with Mālama I Nā Ahupua‘a (MINA) in projects such as Palolo Peace Plantation. This project focuses on building a wa‘a (canoe). Other projects that include collaboration with MINA focus on environmental sustainability. Within MINA, a garden is being grown with plants of both cultural and environmental connections. These plants help to preserve the traditional Hawaiian culture and ecosystem. These plants have been around for hundreds or even thousands of years. On the Palolo Peace Plantation, there is a large effort to involve both the university and the community. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, groups of people

4. KEEP YOUR PLANTS ALIVE

After you have planted all of your vegetables, your mantra should be “vigilance,” because the regular upkeep of your garden is key to its success. If you planted seeds, make sure you water them every day. The larger your plants become, the less you will need to water them. You can tell if your plants need watering by how wet the soil is: you want it to be damp but not drenched. Regular weeding is also crucial to the survival of your garden. Mulch is one way of deterring bugs and weeds from spoiling your crops. You can also fertilize your plants once a month with liquid fertilizer and once a season with dry fertilizer.

get together to carve the canoe. In addition to projects, PAPA has events which help to support sustainability. These events include Pacific Peoples Cultural Exchange (PPCE). PPCE will be held on Wednesday, April 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in and around Dean Hall. There will be cookbooks with traditional Pacific recipes, open mic poetry, lei making, games, storytelling and ‘awa being served. Chang said that this event is about connecting the Pacific peoples and “focusing on everyone . . . [because] we’re so separate. . . . The goal is to get rid of this separation.” This event represents and promotes sustainability culturally as well as environmentally. Traditional foods, ti leaf leis and other cultural practices will be at the event. Environmentally, PPCE will be sustainable through its use of reusable bamboo mess kits, native and naturally gathered plants for the lei making. Ti leaves will be given back to the ground underneath the tree to help later generations of ti trees grow and the leftover ball from the ‘awa will be used as fertilizer.

Earth Day documentaries and chill JK, we can’t chill, climate change is real KATIE ALMEIDA ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Earth Day is on April 22 and, on this day, companies broadcast movie specials and TV marathons to help spread awareness about how we can take care of our earth. Here are a few of the entertainment options to keep you inspired.

The National Geographic channel hosts a TV show called “Earth Day Specials.” Each episode focuses on how human impact and the modernization of our world and society affects nature, with a focus on the increasing exploitation of our natural resources.

PBS will also have several specials for Earth Day. A new Frontline episode entitled “Heat” will be a show on America’s energy crisis and the steps that can be taken to prevent it from worsening. Webshows and scheduling information for the programming can be found on PBS.org/specials/earth-day.

Disney has branched out to create a department called Disneynature. Every Earth Day, they release a new movie. The 2016 Earth Day movie was “Growing Up Wild,” a ﬁlm about ﬁve baby animals from around the world learning to adapt to their surroundings. This year, Disney’s Earth Day movie is “Born in China.” It will follow the lives of baby animals such as the panda, golden monkey and snow leopard.

One way to help the environment and do your part is to be educated on what is happening to our planet. While staying in and watching Earth Day TV or movies may seem like the easy way out, it could be the ﬁrst step to understanding what can be done on a large scale, or on your own, in order to help save the Earth.

CHALLENGING SCIENCE DENIAL SOURCE: MARK LADAO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

MARK LADAO CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Two University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa scientists are looking to students and other scientists to take action against science denial, an increasingly daunting hurdle in the ongoing marathon that is the ﬁght against climate change. “People are paying less and less attention to fact,” said Joe Mobley, a

professor at the university's School of Nursing and Dental Hygiene. Hixon and Mobley believe they are part of the solution to legitimize science. They hope to educate the public, speciﬁcally students, but they understand the challenges that entails. “I imagine the average UH student . . . doesn’t care that much about science,” said Mark Hixon, Chair of the Zoology Graduate Pro-

gram. “That’s ﬁne, except when it comes time to vote and when it comes time to being an engaged citizen.” Hixon has given a TED talk on coral conservation, which appeared on the PBS show “Saving the Ocean,” and was a guest with Mobley on Hawaii Public Radio’s Town Square segment called “Science in a PostTruth World.” Hixon explained that students should be concerned

because the choices they make will affect their own lives. “If it’s based on science, it’s going to be a safer future, guaranteed,” he said. Hixon expressed his interest in improving the university's focus on science literacy and communicating science to the public. One way to do this is to make science literacy part of graduation requirements. Mobley wants to build a small community of passionate students to communicate climate change issues to the public. By offering extra credit to students to listen or participate in climate change discussions, he inspired some students to find their passion about and take action against global warming. He described their role in climate change by quoting cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.” In their fight against science denial, both scientists are reaching out to their colleagues. Hixon hosted a campus forum last semester, on Dec. 9, titled “Denial of Science.” The forum tried to convince fellow scientists to leave their “ivory towers,” in which scientists focus on their work but fail to engage the public and explain the importance of their findings. Hixon and Mobley said scientists hesitate to involve themselves publicly for a variety of reasons: many are consumed by their work, are

THE MARCH FOR SCIENCE

HILO, HAWAI‘I Event 1: LOCATION Bayfront Soccer Field Pavilion 744 Kamehameha Ave., Hilo HOURS Begins at 5:30 p.m. SOURCE: @MIKEMARSHALL / TWITTER

KATIE ALMEIDA ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

The Honolulu March for Science will be held on April 22, beginning at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa campus. The march is a non-partisan event to celebrate science and its affect on everyday life. This march has also come about due to concerns that the current administration does not value science and advancements that can still be made. Another concern is that scientists will not be supported in their journey to advance society. “There has been a long, slow progression away from using evidence-based knowledge in decision-making. This trend appears to be accelerating, and science doesn’t have a voice of its own,” said the Honolulu event organizers, Elisha Wood-Charlson, Philip Johnson and Helen Spafford. “Therefore, it

is time for all who support science to remind the people that represent us — at all levels of government — that we expect policy decisions to be evidence-based and scientific discoveries to be freely communicated and shared with everyone.” This march is not just for scientists, it is for anyone who feels the impact of science. Science is responsible for making our lives easier, from our phones, microwaves, cars to the lights in our buildings. “The march is for everyone, especially those who value knowledge and tools generated by discovery and innovation,” organizers said. “Anyone that flips a switch to have light at night has benefited from a visit to their doctor, or uses TVs and cell phones.” The organizers have also stressed UH’s involvement in the march, as it is where the a rally will be held a few hours before the march starts.

introverted or are afraid to lose their credibility as scientists by pushing an agenda. But scientists might be the most important group in resisting science denial today, especially by offering the public insight into the science community. Hixon believes the idea that scientists band with each other or businesses for profit is “laughable”. “Scientists are among the most contentious people on the planet,” he said. “They’re very critical of each other’s findings.” Understanding scientists’ critical attitudes might give weight to scientific papers being “peer-reviewed,” a process in which researchers’ findings are highly vetted by experts in that topic before being considered for publication. Even then, some reputable journals have a low acceptance rate for submissions due to competition. For example, the “Science” magazine claims to publish only seven percent of submissions. Hixon has focused on science denial as a slowly growing phenomenon, but Mobley often points to the Trump administration for the current threats to science. His message to his colleagues is that the president is an enemy to science and the American people. “This election shows what happens when people don’t get involved,” Mobley said. “The dissemination of truth is the linchpin of democracy.”

UH Mānoa President and Chancellor David Lassner is a strong supporter of the March for Science, and so is Michael Bruno, Vice Chancellor for Research and Interim Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. “This event is a celebration of the impact that science continues to have in the enrichment and preservation of life, in the sustainment of our communities, and in the protection of our environment,” Bruno said. “As one of the nation’s premier public research universities, and as a land-grant, sea-grant, and space-grant university, the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa is uniquely positioned to lead.” March for Science is an international movement that began in Washington, DC, and has expanded to all 50 states and over 50 countries, including four participating locations in Hawai‘i.
