DOWNTOWN ART CENTER PRESENTS PHOTOCAMERADEN’S ‘CHINATOWN’ CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBIT, JANUARY 6 - FEBRUARY 11, 2023 IN DAC’S SECOND FLOOR INNER GALLERY

 Honolulu (December 2022) – Downtown Art Center at 1041 Nuʻuanu Ave. Second Floor, in Chinatown Gateway Plaza, is honored to present the PhotoCameraden photography collective in its Inner Gallery, with an exhibition called “CHINATOWN – I ka wā ma mua; ka wā ma hope - The Wisdom of The Past Helps Guide Our Future.”

The exhibition, a series of beautiful contemporary photography images taken in Honolulu’s Chinatown, will be on display from January 6 through February 11, 2023, during regular gallery hours, Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The exhibition opens with a reception on Saturday, January 7, from 5 to 8 p.m.

PhotoCameraden is a group of artists and friends who met as students of Scott Kubo’s Creative Digital Photography class. They work collaboratively to present contemporary perspectives through the photographic medium, and continue as students, Hawaiians, historians, and artists to document their individual interests and continue to support each other’s work. Through events and exhibits such as “CHINATOWN – The Wisdom of The Past Helps Guide Our Future/I ka wā ma mua; ka wā ma hope,” they endeavor to provide inspiration and hope to the local community.

“The welcome and enthusiastic response while developing this exhibit shows that we were on the right path to portray, in our images, the amazing cultural heritage, diversity, resiliency, and bright future for Honolulu’s Chinatown,” reads a statement by the PhotoCameraden group in the show’s accompanying ‘zine, which will be available at the exhibit.
