HighWaterLine: HONOLULU
The HighWaterLine is a community art project initiated by artist Eve Mosher that has been carried out in previous iterations in New York City, Miami and other cities. Using a chalk liner, participants walk the future shoreline forecast due to sea level rise. Mosher has invited coastal communities to create their own HighWaterLine walks. HighWaterLine: Honolulu is featured in the Inundation exhibition. |
For Inundation, Christina Gerhardt initiated the HighWaterLine iteration in Honolulu and together with Adele Balderston they co-organized three talks and two walks for the Kaka‘ako neighborhood. The walks and talks offered an opportunity to experience the historical flow of water in the Kaka‘ako area, once a wetlands area with many fresh water springs, and to talk about current and future flooding, watershed management and development in the area.
If you want to recreate the walk in the Ka'akako area, download the self-guided tour and map created by Adele Balderston below. Scroll down to see more pictures and videos of the events that took place in January 2020. |
