POW! WOW! Hawaii 2011: Part One with HBTV

In an idea that came to fruition in the beginning of 2010 in Hong Kong, POW! WOW !was created as an exhibition of creative talents which stressed more so the background and development of art. As opposed to the often seen focus on the finished product, POW! WOW! set forth in giving the public access to artists in their element as they went to work on their respective pieces. In this series, we take a look at POW! WOW! 2011 which took place in founder Jasper Wong’s native Hawai’i and the comprehensive process that surrounded the event. While Hawai’i has had its fair share of creative output, POW! WOW! has represented the island’s most concentrated effort to help push and build the local artistic community. We bring you Part 1 of our series on POW! WOW! Hawaii 2011 which took place in 2011. The multi-day event offered a number of sights and sounds as an international group of artists each went about creating their artwork amidst an open environment.
