Our Inaugural ANNO Conference is scheduled for March 14-15, 2024. This will be an opportunity for artists and/or scholars doing work with Indigenous performance to share research, hold discussions, and perform. 

The NOIʻI NOWELO conference (March 14th – 15th) represents a new chapter for the ʻAhahui Noiʻi Noʻeau ʻŌiwi – Research Institute of Indigenous Performance (ANNO), and will be a culmination of our Scholarship and Publication Maʻawe – one of our three major objectives – whose primary purpose is to explore performance in its manifestations within Hawaiian and Indigenous communities, their cultural practices, and across temporal boundaries, vis-à-vis rigorous, community-based and artist-led scholarship. In this inaugural conference, we have carefully curated a phenomenal slate of artist-scholars, practitioners, and community leaders who represent the heart of what we aim to achieve as an institute. We are also delighted to welcome guests from around Hawaiʻi and the Pacific who represent the best of our past, present, and future, as scholars, as artists, and as leaders. We extend a warm invitation to all those who are compelled by these topics! Please use the registration form (below) to sign up!
