The community is invited to listen, learn from and share their views with local, Hawaii and international speakers about a variety of topics through the Global Citizenship Speaker Series.

This presentation features Molokai artist Kalaʻe Tangonan who will share her passion for using the visual arts to make Molokai even more beautiful. The program will feature stories behind the mammoth remuraling project at Molokai High School and how multimedia arts can help make Molokai the most beautiful island our hearts know is possible.

Kalaʻe Tangonan is a multi-media artist, a graduate of UH Hilo’s arts program, mother of nine, and community arts activist, providing everything from face painting at keiki fairs to hair and makeup for proms, from decorating for parties to lei making for funerals. Recently, she led a project to paint three 200-foot murals at Molokai High School, where she received her first formal arts training.

The speaker series is presented by the Molokai Bahá’í Community in collaboration with Molokaʻi Public Library to encourage conversations around global issues of importance to Molokai.
Everyone is welcome. Light refreshments will be served.
