SUMMARY:Lele o Nā Manu: The Splendor and Loss of Hawaiʻi’s Birds
DESCRIPTION:.mec-wrap .mec-single-title, .single-mec-events .mec-wrap.mec-no-access-error h1 {    font-style: italic;}\nFriday, July 12, 2024\n5-9 p.m.\nLocation: Great Lawn | Science Adventure Center\n$10 pre-sale, $15 at the door for General Admission. Free for Bishop Museum Members.\nBe among the first to see our new exhibit, Lele o Nā Manu: The Splendor and Loss of Hawaiʻi’s Birds, opening to the public during July’s Museum After Hours! The exhibit coincides with Makahiki o Nā Manu Nahele, the Year of the Forest Birds, a campaign to celebrate and raise awareness around Hawaiʻi’s native forest birds.\nExplore the new exhibit, meet local organizations who work to protect our native birds, and enjoy activity booths. Take part in moderated panel discussions with the artists and researchers that brought Lele o Nā Manu to life. Panelists include master carver Haruo Uchiyama; mural artists Patrick Ching and Julian Hume; and the exhibit co-curators, Bishop Museum’s Molly Hagemann, Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute’s Rob Fleischer, and Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History’s Helen James.\n\nLele o Nā Manu: The Splendor and Loss of Hawaiʻi’s Birds is an exploration of the remarkable avian fauna that evolved over millions of years in Hawaiʻi, the most isolated chain of islands in the world. The exhibit features 47 exquisite carvings depicting endemic Hawaiian forest birds (manu nahele) by master craftsman, Haruo Uchiyama, who spent several weeks examining specimens in the Museum’s collections to ensure the carvings were as accurate as possible. Mr. Uchiyama’s complete set of historically-known Hawaiian honeycreepers will be displayed atop an original mural painted by local artist Patrick Ching. The exhibit will also include a mural depicting prehistoric Kīpahulu Valley (Maui) painted by Dr. Julian Hume, fossils of extinct bird species, and an interactive game that challenges visitors’ knowledge of native and nonnative animals.\nMahalo nui to our partners and sponsors the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute and the Asian Pacific American Initiatives Pool, administered by The Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center.\nProgram Timeline\n5 – 9 p.m.\nLele o Nā Manu: The Splendor and Loss of Hawaiʻi’s Birds  on view (Science Adventure Center)\nEducational Activities and Information Booths (Great Lawn)\n\nDepartment of Natural Resources, Division of Forestry & Wildlife\nBirds, Not Mosquitoes\nMaui Forest Bird Recovery Project\nKauaʻi Forest Bird Recovery Project\nPlant Extinction Prevention Program\nHawaiʻi Audubon Society\n\n \n5:30 p.m. (Great Lawn Stage)\nNuʻa Manu—Full of Birds: An Interdisciplinary Talk Story\nLyz Soto, Poet, Director of Literary and Conversation Programs at the Hawai’i Council for the Humanities\nNoah Gomes, Ethnographer, State Historic Preservation Division\nHelen James, Research Zoologist and Curator of Birds, National Museum of Natural History\nHalena Kapuni-Reynolds, Moderator, Associate Curator of Native Hawaiian History and Culture, National Museum of the American Indian\n6:30 p.m. (Great Lawn Stage)\nArtist Panel:\nHaruo Uchiyama, Master Woodcarver\nPatrick Ching, Artist and Conservationist\nJulian Hume, Artist and Palaeontologist\nTaylour Chang, Moderator, Director of Public Programs and Community Engagement\n7:30 p.m. (Great Lawn Stage)\nCurator & Conservation Panel:\nRobert Fleischer, Senior scientist and head of the Smithsonian’s National Zoo & Conservation Biology Institute’s Center for Conservation Genomics\nHelen James, Curator of Birds at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History\nJustin Hite, DLNR/DOFAW Mosquito Project Planner and Former Field Crew Leader with Kaua‘i Forest Bird Recovery Project\nSam Case, Postdoctoral researcher, University of Washington\nMolly Hagemann, Moderator, Bishop Museum’s Vertebrate Zoology Collection Manager\nOngoing Offerings\nAll Night – Food and Beverage on the Lawns\nLauhala Weaving w/ Keoua Nelsen\n5:30 pm – 6:30 m – Gallery Lawms\nWeave the dried leaves of the Pūhala (Pandanus) into a stunning bracelet (one per attendee).
