About the Showcase
About "8x8" at Shangri La Hawai‘i
8x8 brings together eight visual artists and eight performing artists based in Hawaiʻi to create new work inspired by their encounters with Shangri La. Sparking a generative force to this year’s exhibition, the theme “source” has been interpreted by these 16 artists to produce commentaries on topics ranging from sustainability and ancestry to rising and return.
About Shangri La
The Shangri La Museum of Islamic Art, Culture and Design opened in 2002, as the only museum dedicated exclusively to Islamic art in the United States. For more info, visit Shangrilahawaii.com
