The Maui Arts & Cultural Center’s Heritage Film Festival will present Project Kuleana on Saturday, Sept. 5 at 7:30 p.m. in the Castle Theater.

Project Kuleana is a movement to utilize music as a vehicle for community education and developing layers of understanding to strengthen our lāhui (nation) Hawai‘i.

The project was created by three native Hawaiian musicians who share the perspective that kuleana is what makes music Hawaiian.

The event will include screenings of several short films and live performances from artists in the films—Palani Vaughan, Mike Ka‘awa, Sonny Lim, Ernie Cruz, Kainani Kahaunaele and Napua Greig. A question-and-answer session will follow.

Join Hawaiian artists from across the pae ‘āina (island chain) in a virtual, interisland kanikapila promoting lōkahi, aloha ‘āina and kuleana!

Tickets are $35 (plus applicable fees). Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on Aug. 1 to MACC members only. Non-member tickets can be purchased starting Aug. 8.
