The Honolulu Museum of Art, located just 30 minutes from the Ko Olina Beach Villas in downtown Honolulu, will host Black Painting, an exhibition featuring the works of Chinese artist who were persecuted during the Chinese Cultural Revolution. During the Cultural Revolution, many artists, academics, and well-educated people were forced to abandon their work.
The black paintings were a rare opportunity for the Chinese artistic community to continue its craft during this period. Contemporary works featuring this same black ink and reflect the trauma and grief of the revolution period.
Admission costs $10 for adults and $5 for children. Children ages three and under are admitted for free. The museum is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 am to 4:30 pm and Sundays from 1 to 5 pm. For more information, check out honolulumuseum.org.
