Exhibition

Several exhibitions of Indigenous visual art will be held before, during and after the gathering The PIKO organizers ask invited artists to bring several works of their art for the exhibitions.

Site Location

KHF proposes to have PIKO in the rural northwest mountain community of Waimea, South Kohala, on Hawai'i, the largest of the major islands and within the community where the KHF is located. Visiting artists will find the site both restoring and inspiring. Within a radius of 50 miles the site is a short distance to one of the rarest diverse native eco-systems in Hawai'i as well as native Hawaiian spiritual centers, five sacred volcanic mountains (two are still active), four native Hawaiian homeland communities, one native Hawaiian charter school, two Hawaiian language immersion schools, three Kamehameha schools early education program sites, numerous cultural sites and the home port of the Hawaiian voyaging canoe, Makali'i. The area will allow artists many opportunities for cultural exchanges during the eight day gathering
