He spent his early years on a dairy farm, worked in the restaurant industry for fifteen years, and is currently a practitioner of the Hawaiian rock masonry style of uhau humu pōhaku.
Kimeona’s PechaKucha HNL: EARTH presentation gives an overview of the impact of climate change and asks us to consider: what can we do next?

Claire Caulfield is a reporter at Honolulu @civilbeat and host of the “Are We Doomed?” podcast, where she answers people’s questions about the environment in Hawai‘i.
Claire’s PechaKucha Honolulu: EARTH presentation focuses specifically on the issue of recycling in Hawai‘i and explores alternatives to the current system.
Jaimey Hamilton Faris is Associate Professor of Art History and Critical Theory at the University of Hawai‘i, Mānoa. Based in Honolulu for 14 years, she writes and organizes artist residencies, events, and exhibitions. Her most recent project is an environmental art exhibition called Inundation: Art and Climate Change in the Pacific for UHM Art Gallery, Honolulu, now travelling to Donkey Mill Art Center in Kona, Hawaii. The exhibition is related to her current writing on how art addresses the emotional, community and cultural aspects of climate change. She is most interested in how artists translate water's life force into the most important lessons for our times.
Jaimey’s PK: EARTH presentation is titled “The Ocean is Woven.” This is an experimental poetic presentation of the ocean as a topological ‘surface’ fabric (even as its deepest depths), that moves in relation to the earth’s mantle, atmospheric currents, and all of the earth's bodies of water. Its interfacing movements are essential to our current climate. Is the ocean's weaving unraveling and what needs to be done to reweave it?
We kick off our second week of PechaKucha Honolulu videos with a talk on African wildlife photography with Dr. Ian Evans!
Ian M. Evans, PhD is a retired professor of clinical psychology who grew up in South Africa, trained in England, and came to the University of Hawaii in 1970. He has also taught in universities in upstate New York and in New Zealand, and he has published four novels.
Ian’s PechaKucha: EARTH presentation focuses on his experience with wildlife photography and offers some tips and tricks of the trade he picked up on his own adventures.
Nathan Eagle is an editor at Honolulu Civil Beat. Prior to this, he covered everything from state government and commercial fishing to ocean-related issues and politics as a Civil Beat reporter.
Nathan’s PechaKucha: EARTH presentation is about a feature he did for @civilbeat with the Maui Forest Bird Recovery Project, focused on their efforts to save the native Hawaiian bird, the kiwikiu.

PechaKucha Honolulu: EARTH with Gaye Chan
Gaye Chan, co-founder of Eating in Public (EIP), implements interventions in public and private spaces to make trouble with - and fun of - capitalism and the state. Its activities are primarily spontaneous and/or unauthorized sharing of goods. EIP has initiated projects at over 1,000 non-art sites & occasionally participates in gallery and museum programming.
Gaye’s PK HNL: EARTH presentation focuses on EIP's newest initiative: WEEDS UP FRONT - front yard gardens focusing on edible weeds found in the neighborhood. Knowledge about edible weeds is timely during the pandemic as capitalism pits us against each other and resources always go to the highest bidder.
