Photo exhibition

The Honolulu Academy of Arts presents "Ku'u ēwe, ku'u iwi, ku'u koko/my umhilieal cord, my bones, my blood: Recent work by Kapulani Landgraf " in the Holt Gallery through Sept. 21. In this exhibition, her first solo show at the Academy, the kanaka maoli photographer, a graduate of Kamehameha Schools, honors her Hawaiian cultural heritage and pon-

ders the profound changes that have occurred in Hawai'i by ongoing western intrusion and its impact on Hawaiian rights, values and history.

"Puka Mai," a photo-collage by Kapulani Landgraf "represents genealogy and connection to the land," its creator says. This is one of the images featured in the noted photographer's current Honolulu Academy of Arts solo exhibit.
