"Fabulous, Fashionable Women" Art Exhibit
2020-02-10 10:00 - 16:30 | Honolulu Museum of Art, 900 S Beretania, Honolulu, HI, 96814, United States
February 10, 2020 – March 22, 2020:
“Fabulous, Fashionable Women” Art Exhibit. Utagawa Kunisada / Toyokuni III (1786–1865) Survey of Styles of Contemporary Beauties (Tōsei bijin fūryū asobi) Japan, Edo period (1615–1868), 1852 Woodblock print; ink and color on paper Gift of Mrs. Sibyl Kidder Paris, 1993 (25289) During the Edo period (1615–1868) in Japan, the Tokugawa shogunate occasionally forbade citizens from wearing brightly colored or elaborately decorated clothing for fear that such artistic expression would disturb public order. Since the police did not patrol the Yoshiwara brothel district on the outskirts of Edo (now Tokyo), however, fashion connoisseurs gathered there to show off and admire sumptuous outfits. In this way, the Yoshiwara came to be celebrated as a venue for artistic expression. This rotation focuses upon woodblock prints whose titles include the term fūryū, meaning “fashion” or “elegance.” Although some of the women depicted in the prints have their obi sashes tied in front, signifying them as prostitutes, others are either renowned authors of classical literature or characters from works such as the Heian-period Tale of Genji or the Tales of Ise. By dressing all of them in contemporary clothing, the artists erased the indicators of each figure’s social status, thereby essentially elevating the women of the Yoshiwara to the level of tenth-century court ladies.

The public is invited to watch Kona Historical Society staff and volunteers create these sticky, sweet loaves of cinnamon bread. Attendees will also learn about the traditional art of Portuguese bread making and the contributions of the Portuguese, who arrived in Hawaii in the 1880s. While many of these immigrants worked in the sugar plantations, a fair number did find their way to Kona dairies and are credited for helping develop this industry. Kona Historical Society makes cinnamon bread on Shrove Tuesday to pay homage to the days of the sugar plantations of the 1800s, when resident Catholic Portuguese would mark the day by eating richer, fatty foods and desserts before the ritual fasting of the Lent season, which lasts 40 days. They would often use up butter and sugar prior to Lent by making large batches of malasadas, the well-known and beloved Portuguese doughnut without a hole. Shrove Tuesday is also known as Fat Tuesday. Cinnamon bread loaves, each costing $8, can be purchased starting at 12:30 p.m. Bread sales go until 4 p.m. or sold out. konahistorical.org

Dirty Cello at Kahilu Theater
2020-02-21 19:00 - 21:00 | Kahilu Theatre, 67-1186 Lindsey Rd., Kamuela, HI, 96743, United States
February 21, 2020:
Dirty Cello at Kahilu Theater. From China to Iceland, and all over the U.S., San Francisco based band, Dirty Cello brings the world a high energy and unique spin on blues and bluegrass. Led by vivacious cross-over cellist, Rebecca Roudman, Dirty Cello is cello like you’ve never heard before. From down home blues with a wailing cello to virtuosic stompin’ bluegrass, Dirty Cello is a band that gets your heart thumping and your toes tapping!
“When lead guitar is replaced by the sound of hot licks on a cello, blues, rock and bluegrass rise to a new dimension. Dirty Cello – a four-piece band from San Francisco – makes its style of string music to inspire audiences to swing, sway and dance.” Ashland Daily Tidings.
“Dirty Cello’s music is all over the map: funky, carnival, romantic, sexy, tangled, electric, fiercely rhythmic, and textured, and only occasionally classical.” Oakland Magazine “The band plays every style imaginable, and does some fantastic covers. (Their rendition of “Purple Haze” is incredible.) But what is most spectacular about them is hearing the depth of soul in Roudman’s playing-it goes beyond what most people would expect from the instrument. She plays it with so much heart, you’ll wonder why more bands don’t have a cellist.” Good Times Santa Cruz​.
