8X8: sOURCE Opening 2024!

Shangri La is excited to announce 8×8: Source will be opening January 13, 2024! This fourth installment of 8×8 brings together eight visual artists and eight performing artists living 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 sixteen artists to produce commentaries on topics ranging from sustainability and ancestry to rising and return.
