This Saturday, the Bishop Museum is inviting everyone to a celebration in the newly refurbished Pacific Hall. Admission will be free from 9am to 9pm, for all to enjoy. In conjunction with this reopening, a cadre of Bishop Museum workers has been experiencing a deeper immersion into Pacific culture. HPR’s Noe Tanigawa reports, it has been an exercise in connecting inner and outer worlds, guided by New Zealand dancer, choreographer Jack Grey.

The Pacific Hall Grand Unveiling happens this Saturday, September 21, 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. at Bishop Museum. Admission is free for dances, poetry, films, food, music, and more from across the Pacific. Works prepared by Museum staff with the guidance of Jack Grey are scheduled for Saturday evening. You can find a full schedule of events and more information about Jack Grey and his Atamira Contemporary Dance Company.

Noe Tanigawa covered art, culture and ideas for two decades at Hawaiʻi Public Radio.
