poi dogs in the library
As part of the UHMC LAUNCH PARTY this Friday, the library is hosting a
Paintings & Poetry exhibit from 4:30 to 8:30pm. This event features
paintings by Pat Masumoto and Mike Takemoto from their recent Schaefer
International Gallery “Poi Dog” exhibit.
At the library's exhibit opening on Friday August 25, Pat Masumoto will perform
her poetry that relates to her paintings. In her series of “poi dog”
paintings and poetry that offer us a view of growing up in Lahaina,
Masumoto remembers absorbing the domestic aesthetics of the
Portuguese, Japanese and Hawaiian households.
As a UHMC professor, Mike Takemoto is no stranger to human diversity,
and he gives us a sampling of this experience in his portraits of
family, friends and his art students.
The pidgin term “poi dog” was chosen by the group of talented artists
as the name for the remarkable Schaefer Gallery exhibit, describing
both the mixture of all of us and within each of us. At Friday's
presentation of "poi dogs," paintings and poetry collide, alongside a
library collection of materials that consider the literal and
conceptual aspects of "poi dog."
This paintings & poetry exhibit will be viewable in the UHMC Library
through the month of September.

Nippon Foundation Gift
The Nippon Foundation has given UH Maui College a gift of 68 books on Japan. Please come to the library to see these interesting and informative books on display.
"Some people say it takes more than reading books to understand contemporary Japan - you must live here to get the real story. But if you can't live in the country, what books are most useful to understanding the enigmas of modern Japanese society and thinking?
In recent years more people than ever before are visiting Japan, learning Japanese as a second language, and consuming Japanese popular culture. There are many sources of information about the country, but the key is to find reliable insights.
To help deal with the problem of hunting down such authoritative works, The Nippon Foundation asked ten experts with extensive knowledge of Japan to select 100 books to serve as useful guides for those who want to understand present day Japan."

Wow, they wore that!?
On display now in the library are clothing and items from the 1920s to the 1970s. See an actual "flapper compact" your great grandmother might have used when she when out dancing! Or how about that bright polyester double-knit jacket! Sweet! And let's not forget the pop art muʻumuʻu, groovy!
There are books and DVDs for you to borrow. Some notable items are "How to be a Man" and "Pandora's Box." Come over and take a look. It's the bee's knees!
By the way, the picture is a 1929 image of actress Louise Brooks. She epitomized the 1920s' flapper.

Peace Ribbon Project
During the month of February, the library is hosting Code Pink's Peace Ribbon Project, a national traveling exhibit of 125 original fabric panels honoring the memory of people - our soldiers, Coalition soldiers from other countries, and Iraqi citizens - whose lives have been lost in the Iraq war and occupation. The Peace Ribbon was displayed at the Hawaii State Library in January and then was carried by 62 Code Pink Women for Peace in the Martin Luther King Day parade in Honolulu this month.
The exhibit's formal opening is on Monday, Feb. 5, at noon, on the lower level of the library. Everyone is invited to view these remembrance panels which have traveled across the nation several times, and to enjoy the oli, speakers, and refreshments. Our speakers for the event are Dick Mayer, retired MCC professor, and W. S. Merwin, Pulitzer prize-winning poet, playwright and author of the novel-in-verse about Molokai, The Folding Cliffs: A Narrative. The noon to 1PM event is free and open to the public.
The MCC Peace Club, Maui Peace Action, Associated Students of MCC, and Code Pink Maui are co-sponsoring the Peace Ribbon Project on Maui in order to honor and memorialize those whose lives have been sacrificed in the war and to increase awareness of this tragic loss among those on our island whose families are not directly involved of the war's toll.
The opening on Feb. 5 coincides with the court-martial of Hawaii's Lt. Ehren Watada, first Army officer to refuse deployment to the Iraq war. There will be information on the reasons for his refusal and updates about his case and how to support him.
Anyone can add a panel to the traveling exhibit in remembrance of someone, or a group of people, who died in the Iraq war. Specific instructions can be found at Code Pink's website and will be available at the Feb. 5 event. New panels will be displayed in Honolulu on Memorial Day and then sent to join the traveling exhibit.
For more information on the project go to CodePink : Peace Ribbon Project.
