Pow Wow Hawaii/808 Urban Educational Video

Last February, international mural artists came together from around the world to create urban art on walls across Kaka’ako for Pow Wow Hawaii 2012. 808 Urban teamed up with partner organization, Pow Wow Hawaii, to create an educational youth component within the week-long event.  Bringing together students from YMCA Kalihi, Roosevelt, McKinley, Kamehameha, and Voyager Schools, the effort was a success.  Students cross-collaborated throughout four workshop stations during the week, culminating in a student mural (now displayed at Voyager School).  Watch our new Pow Wow Hawaii educational video above by Banzai Media.

     Aloha Magellan,

     Thank you for for your inquiries. To answer your questions:

     1. Yes, there will be another PowWow Hawaii this year. It is meant to be an annual event in February/March. This year will be extra special because 808 Urban has been hosting an educational component for the past 6 months or so. It’s called the PowWow Hawaii x 808 Urban Art Workshop. Through this workshop, we have been mentoring a large group of dedicated teens to join the PowWow artists of 2013, as they will be collaborating on murals together.
     2. For 808 Urban art classes, please contact Nikila: 808-388-6824
     3. Farrington students were actually Prime’s first students through our P.U.A. (Palama Urban Arts) workshop series back in 2008. We have been working toward including them as one of the next schools to be a part or our Junior Board Initiative. If you have know of any interested Farrington students that would be interested in coordinating the Farrington Jr. Board, please let us know.

     Mahalo for reaching out. Stay in touch!

         Students are responsible for getting to and from the shop on their own. Most kids take the bus. When we can, we sometimes give students rides home.
