Flux Hawai‘i : Tribes
A Honolulu-based collective shares the complex diversity of what it means to be Black in Hawai'i and the larger Pacific. Video by Flux Hawaiʻi.
The Pōpolo Project is featured in volume 8, issue 2 of Flux Hawaii magazine, where artist Nicole Maileen Woo graces the cover in a stunning portrait captured by Chris Rohrer. Inside, through a series of portraits, we share about our collective and individual processes for exploring Black identities in Hawai‘i via the Pōpolo Project.
The stories featured within explore the meaning of “tribes” in what feels like an increasingly polarized and divided society this year. How can they bind us together, what are their limits, and how can the disparate and overlapping tribes — of which we all belong — build stronger bridges to each other's communities across the islands?
