TALK STORY #16: Hōaka Delos Reyes & Anuhea Yagi

In May 2022, Student of Hawaiian Life Ways Anuhea Yagi completed a storytelling training alongside 12 extraordinary individuals, led by SMALL TOWN * BIG ART artist Leilehua Yuen. Our team paired each participant with an intergenerational partner to engage in a 40-minute, audio-recorded "Talk Story" session, with the goal of capturing an authentic moment of connection. Here, Anu speaks with Hōaka Delos Reyes, an expert in the field of stone-on-stone carving (kālai pōhaku), at Hale Hōʻikeʻike at the Bailey House / Maui Historical Society. This recording will become part of a collection from which artists will base a proposed work of public art through the upcoming SMALL TOWN * BIG ART 2022 RFP (request for proposals).
