Inaugural 2024 Grant Awardees
Hoʻākea Source's inaugural group of 10 awardees received funds from $5,000 to $10,000. Grantees had one year to bring to life a range of projects centered around ʻāina (that which feeds), pilina (relationality), and huli (change).
Projects celebrate the diverse practices of artists of Hawaiʻi and take many forms including a zine, exhibitions, dance party, non-narrative short film, feature length experimental documentary, multimedia live performances, mapping and data visualization, community and student-centered workshops, ceremonies, and events.
