>>> The HB19 will take place from March 8th - May 5th, 2019, the Honolulu Biennial 2019 (HB19) will take place at more than 10 locations on Oʻahu and brings together 19 artists and artist groups from Hawaiʻi and 29 artists and artist groups of the Pacific, Asia and the Americas. The Biennial’s central location – The Hub – will return to Ward Village with an 18,000 square-foot venue located in the heart of Honolulu’s award-winning 60-acre master planned community being developed by The Howard Hughes Corporation, the Founding and Co-Title Sponsor of the HB19.

>>> The Honolulu Biennial aims to contribute to local and global dialogs by connecting indigenous perspectives, knowledge, and creative expressions that are of these places. This year, the Biennial will activate more than 10 sites around Honolulu comprised of institutional anchor sites, including the Bishop Museum, the Honolulu Museum of Art, and the John Young Museum of Art at the University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa; the “downtown loop,” a cluster of diverse and historic sites in downtown Honolulu; and coastal venues to include the McCoy Pavilion and The Hub, the Biennial’s central location where visitors will find a concentration of artwork and programming. All is tied together with multi-site installations from the artists Bernice Akamine (Kānaka Maoli | Hawaiʻi) and Abraham Cruzvillegas (Mexico).
