ʻUla Nōweo refers to the glowing red witnessed at the rising, or setting, of the sun; times of the day especially suited for reflection. Inspired by the Bishop Museum original exhibition Ka ʻUla Wena: Oceanic Red, the ʻUla Nōweo Reflection Series, offers artists, scholars and community leaders of Hawaiʻi an opportunity to meditate upon manifestations of the color red in their own traditional practices and contemporary lives. Join us for this series of expositions, readings and expressions of practice, intended to inspire further contemplation and conversation.

The ʻUla Nōweo Reflection Series will continue weekly through Saturday, January 11, 2025.

Daniel Richard Jonathan Kapalikūokalani Maile (Kanaka ʻŌiwi) was born and raised on Oʻahu, son to Keith and Patricia, brother to Uahikeaikaleiʻohu. He graduated from Kamehameha Schools in 2005 and earned a BA in Anthropology from Hawaiʻi Pacific University in 2009. Continued studies took him to the University of Mānoa’s Center for Pacific Islands Studies, and his lifelong interest in Hawaiian and Pacific cultures continues in his work at Bishop Museum. As the Education Programs Manager at Bishop Museum, Kapalikūokalani’s work to connect communities with Indigenous worldviews brings together exhibition content development and educational resource creation in support of dynamic visitor experiences in the galleries.
