EXHIBITIONS AT CAPITOL MODERN

CURRENT EXHIBITS

PRESCHOOLERS INTERPRET “WAIKUI“
THROUGH THE MORNING OF AUGUST 4, 2025
ʻAlani Strode Montessori preschool students are frequent visitors to the museum. The Sculpture Garden is a favorite of the keiki, and each time they return they ask to go into the “pool” - the glass sculpture by Doug Young. During the spring semester, keiki at ʻAlani Strode learn about the Hawaiian water cycle, including the wai and kai coming together to create a water habitat for various iʻa - the waikui referenced by the sculpture.

Each student created their own version of “Waikui” with acrylic paints on canvas. This one-week display is on the ground floor next to the entrance to the MORI shop and can be viewed during the August 1 First Friday (5:00 - 9:00 p.m.) and on Monday morning.

Supported by public funding through the Hawaiʻi State Foundation on Culture and the Arts.
