Join us in the Hood Museum’s Gilman Auditorium, on the lower level, for special screenings of three short films that discuss different “foodways.”
1. Kumu Niu (14 minutes, 54 seconds) Watch how the grassroots organization “Niu Now” works to restore the “niu,” or coconut, as a fundamental food crop in Hawaiʻi and spread the Indigenous wisdom of “aloha ʻāina:” loving land and serving people.
2. El Cacao: The Challenge of Fair Trade (20 minutes) This film exposes the dark side of chocolate production in Panama. It examines the economics of Fair Trade from the perspective of indigenous farmers as they navigate the international chocolate industry.
3. Time, Terroir, Taiwan: Soy Sauce Brewing in XiLuo (13 minutes, 20 seconds) This film documents the story of Yu Ding Xing, soy sauce brewers in Central Taiwan, as they make traditional Taiwanese soy sauce by hand. It offers a portrait of the brewers and Taiwan's terroir and examines its past and future.
