Kauwila&#8217;s work embodies genealogical rhythms of sovereignty, solidarity, ceremony, and contested governance through \u02bb\u014dlelo Hawai\u02bbi. They have served as a sound designer and sound design mentor in award winning \u02bb\u014dlelo Hawai\u02bbi Video Games, He Ao Hou and Wao Kanaka, and have won the Jim Winters Award for 3-Dimensional Design for their piece Kuikawalakii in Honolulu Museum of Art&#8217;s Bi-Annual show Artists of Hawai\u02bbi 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kauwila has also been a Hawaiian language translator for multiple universities and Indigenous community histories across Turtle Island while mentoring both graduate and undergraduate students in translation theory and praxis. Kauwila\u02bbs work resides in the margins of Aloha \u02bb\u0100ina traversing an Indigenous future, while refusing state-sponsored, violent reproductions of militourism and missionary descendants. Through their work they interpolate and remix ancestral chants, stories, acoustemologies, and instrumentation underscoring the rhythm of the underbelly of Hawai\u02bbi. Kauwila credits his matriarchal genealogy of lei makers, feather workers, and Hawaiian Sovereignty photographers for the accolades they have received.<br>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cannupahanska.com\/artist-statement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">source<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Community\/Nation\/Tribe: \u02bb\u014ciwi Hawai\u02bbi \/ Hawai\u02bbian Native Materials\/Processes: Video Game Design; Audio Art; Digital Image-making Themes: Indigenous futurism; (re)Historying; Stories; Land relationships Online Resources: Statements\/Bios in Artists&#8217; Words: Daniel Kauwila Mahi is an \u02bb\u014ciwi Hawai\u02bbi visual artist, researcher, video game designer, and composer from Honolulu, Hawai\u02bbi who has exhibited art internationally in places such as Hawai\u02bbi,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":548,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,13,76,35,47,59,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-547","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-audio","category-digital-imagery","category-hawaiian-native","category-history","category-indigenous-futurity","category-story","category-video-games"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/indigital\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/547","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/indigital\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/indigital\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/indigital\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/indigital\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=547"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/indigital\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/547\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":549,"href":"https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/indigital\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/547\/revisions\/549"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/indigital\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/548"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/indigital\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=547"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/indigital\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=547"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gildedgreen.com\/indigital\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=547"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
