SUMMARY:Ola i ka wai | Water is life
DESCRIPTION:The cultural dances of Hawaiian Hula and Tahitian ‘Ori are a vital part of life and are present in religious ceremonies\, social gatherings\, celebrations\, and everyday life. They contain the knowledge and collected memory of its peoples– cultivated over generations– from philosophy\, science\, art and craft\, relationship to Earth\, and the human condition. Presented through story\, prayer\, and entertainment\, Hula and ‘Ori use specific movement language to represent given ideas\, and maintain a sacred connection to Earth and the Cosmos. The dance forms act as a conduit between humanity and the divine\, helping the participants to recognize that they are part of something bigger and that we are all connected. \n  \nInspired by these concepts\, the London School of Hula and ‘Ori (LSHO) created choreography for the  Ma uka to Ma kai exhibition that focuses on the source of life– Water. The choreography explores the water cycle\, from four perspectives: Ocean\, Sky\, Earth\, and Humanity\, attempting to embody the essence of and give form to these elements. Water is central to the functioning of the ahupua’a and to life itself. Without water\, there is no fauna in the forests\, no crops\, no streams to nourish us; simply\, there is no life. Using movement from Hula\, ‘Ori Tahiti\, and contemporary motion\, and combining the mediums of cinema\, sound\, music\, and dance\, the film aims to represent the intertwined and dynamic relationship between humanity and our environment. It encourages the viewer to acknowledge that we are a part of this cycle\, that we are beholden to nature. \n  \n\nSince I can remember\, I have been learning the stories of our ancestors– a rich world of myths and tales that contain the knowledge of the universe. I utilise these myths in my storytelling in order to provide crucial information about the world around us through the lens of womxn from the global majority – past\, present\, and future. These women – my mother\, my grandmothers\, my ancestors – who are able to call upon themselves\, each other\, and the sacred lands to which we are intrinsically bound\, are central to the health of people and Earth\, and thus the continuation of all life. I believe that ancestral knowledge is not a thing of the past\, but holds the key to a healthy future. \nKrysten \n\n  \n\nEverything in the universe is connected\, whether it be the sky to the earth through the falling of the rain\, or person to person through the infectious ease at which emotions can spread. This project showcased how important and moving it is to give in to that oneness with ourselves\, nature\, the world around us\, and each other\, and how none of us are isolated from that connection. \nDanielle \n\n  \n\nOur existence as humans is so tiny but so profound\, we sometimes forget how fragile and interdependent we are. Across cultures\, we see stories that connect us to the elements and to something bigger\, and it is our responsibility to be part of the lineage of these stories\, to deliver them to future generations.  \nAkino \n\nAbout the exhibition\nThe Long Gallery exhibition displays quilts from the Honolulu-based Poakalani Quilters that depict Hula through appliqued designs alongside a photographic series\, Ola i ka wai\, by Krysten Resnick and film depicting the London School of Hula and ‘Ori. A selection of photographs from the series are shown on this webpage\, along with the quilts on display. \nAbout LSHO\nLondon School of Hula and ‘Ori is a cultural dance school and community that aims to uphold and reinterpret the practices of Hawaiian Hula and Tahitian ‘Ori within a modern metropolitan context. By accessing and platforming traditional knowledge systems that combine movement\, myth\, ceremony\, and community we are able to create healthier and more meaningful connections to the self\, our wider communities\, and our Earth and bridge the gaps between past and present– all of which is necessary in shifting the trajectory towards a healthier future. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOla i ka wai : The Photography Series (selection from the exhibition shown here)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMember of the LSHO\, Satomi.

Quilted by Yoshimi Suzuki. Designed by John Serrao co-founder of Poakalani Quilters. PRM 2022.57.2 \n\n  \n\nStories from the Quilting Circle \nby Yoshimi Suzuki \n  \n  \nI started quilting with Poakalani in 2000 at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping and under the direction of Kumu (teacher) John Serrao I was able to receive my teacher’s certification in 2006. I started my Quilting Class in Yokohama in 2006\, called “Hālau Kuiki O Owyhee” (Quilt Class of Hawaiʻi) a name given to me by Kumu John. In the tradition of the Poakalani Class in Hawaii\, I produced Quilt Shows in Japan every two years showcasing my students Quilts. In 2015 I received the highest honour from Kumu John my Hawaiian name “POMAIKALANI” which means blessings from heaven. \n  \nThe motifs on this quilt are Pahu hula(drum)\, ʻUli ʻuli(feathered rattles)\, Pūniu( coconut knee drum) used in classical hula dancing and Maile leaves represents Laka (Goddess of hula). In this way they are related to Hawaiian life. The central part has Wāwae Moa (chicken feet stitches) which is one of the traditional techniques. \n  \nWhen DESIGNER and QUILTER have pens or needles\, we think about the history and the traditions of Hawaiʻi\, or the lifestyle of the time still exists. By reviving and expressing them\, we play a role in conveying the history of Hawaii\, the royal family (Aliʻi) and Hawaiian culture. \n  \nJohn & Poakalani family has a history of learning the original techniques on the ship Thaddeus boarded by missionaries in the 1820. It’s great honour for me to learn from them who are the ancestors of the tradition\, which is now loved all over the world. \n  \nWe hope that people around the world will be interested in the culture and traditions of Hawaiʻi through our Hawaiian quilts. \n  \nThe tradition continues… \n  \n  \n  \n \nTi Leaf and Lauaʻe. Quilted by Pat Gorelangton. Designed by John Serrao. PRM 2022.57.12 \n\n  \nWai ʻapu lau kī. \nWater in a ti-leaf cup. \n [When one goes to the upland and needs a cup to dip water from the stream or spring\, he folds a ti leaf to form a dipper.] \n\n\nStories from the Quilting Circle\nby Pat Gorelangton\n \nI have been a quilter for almost 40 years. Though I’ve tried other quilting styles\, once I joined the Poakalani Quilt Group 18 years ago\, Hawaiian quilting became my passion. To me\, it has the symmetry that appeals to my sense of order\, while also having a beautiful freedom of movement…especially in the designs of John Serrao. John was a master designer; it was a privilege to learn from him. The knowledge and support that the entire Serrao ohana (family) has given to me over the years is nourishment for my soul. One of my favourite things to do is to complete a quilt that was started by someone’s grandmother or auntie years ago…but any time I can make a quilt\, whether as a commission\, or an idea I had and am trying to express\, is truly a joy. \nSo much of the Hawaiian quilt patterns are inspired by our plants and our culture. This Ti Leaf and Laua’e quilt is one of John’s beautiful designs. There are two kinds of laua’e fern…one comes from Australia\, and the other much rarer one is indigenous to the Hawaiian Islands. It has a faint but lovely fragrance and is used in gardens as well as floral arrangements. The ti leaf has many uses in Hawaiian life; from religious ceremonies to food wrapping\, to skirts for hula dancers\, and lei for ceremonies. \nI’ve made over 170 Hawaiian wall hangings and bed quilts and have been part of articles and videos about Hawaiian Quilting over the years\, which I hope to have conveyed my love of this beautiful\, cultural art of Hawai’i.

SUMMARY:Plaited Basketry Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Ticket price includes lunch and refreshments on both days \nTickets: £160  Book here \nMembers: £128 Book here \n\nPlaited basketry is found around the world where materials are easily made into long flat ribbon-like strips – including palm leaves\, bamboo\, birch bark and cane.  Alternatively more modern manufactured materials including plastic packing tape\, Somband\, cardboard and papers can be used. \nPlaited basketry can be relatively straightforward to work with a simple over one/under one ‘checkweave’\, or far more complex twill patterns. A defining feature of plaited basketry is the similarity between weaving elements\, in other words\, little distinction between stakes and weavers (warp/weft). Plaited basketry techniques also include triaxial hexagonal plaiting\, right through to the appropriately named ‘mad weave’. Rest assured this introductory course will only be looking at checkweave! \nIn this two day introductory workshop we will be working with old maps to learn the techniques for making a small basket based on ‘elbow baskets’\, made by the Choctaw people in South East USA. The ‘elbow basket’ is traditionally made with river cane and various forms and weave patterns are made – some simple and others more complex. As with most basketry techniques many variations are possible depending on scale and materials used for working. \nIn the workshop you will learn how to prepare your weaving strips\, how to work basic checkweave\, then on to making the elbow basket form\, how to work a simple border\, and finally adding a small hanging handle. \nIf time allows\, it might be possible to make a additional small basket using plaited basketry techniques. \nYour tutor\, Polly Pollock\, will bring along suitable old maps for you to use\, together with any other materials and simple tools you’ll need. \nDuring this 2-day course you will have the opportunity to look at plaited basketry in the Pitt Rivers Museum collections.  Polly will prepare a trail map showing the location of interesting examples of plaited basketry in the displays. The workshop will take place behind the scenes in the Conservation Laboratory where you be able to see a few more examples from their reserve collection. \nPolly will also bring a selection of plaited baskets from her personal collection\, as well as samples and examples to illustrate other materials which can be used for plaited basketry techniques.

SUMMARY:Cordage Making Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Ticket price includes lunch and refreshments \nTickets: £120 FULLY BOOKED \nMembers: £96 FULLY BOOKED \n\nWorking with a variety of repurposed materials\, including paper\, cloth and plastics\, this one-day workshop\, led by artist Alice Fox\, introduces cordage (string) making\, followed by looping with the cordage to make small vessel forms. Combining basic techniques with an experimental approach to materials\, this workshop has an emphasis on process and will provide you with the skills to experiment further with a range of materials. We will also look at examples from the collections to inform our making. \nAbout Alice Fox \nMy process-led practice is based on personal engagement with landscape and has sustainability at its heart. I am fascinated by the detail of organic things and my work celebrates and carries an essence of what I experience in the natural world. My background in physical geography and nature conservation underpins my artistic practice. I work with natural fibres and gathered materials\, employing natural dyes\, stitch\, weave and soft basketry techniques. These elements come together in different combinations to create grouped surfaces and structures. \nI studied Contemporary Surface Design & Textiles at Bradford School of Arts & Media and completed an MA in Creative Practice at Leeds Arts University. I work from the allotment and my studio in Saltaire\, West Yorkshire\, UK. I exhibit\, lecture and teach workshops nationally and internationally. I am a member of the Textile Study Group. \nhttps://alicefox.co.uk
