PACIFIC PORTRAITS
Oceanic people across the gender spectrum were invited to present themselves as they prefer to be seen. These portraits are just a glimpse of efforts to discover, reclaim, and establish new cultural traditions that recognize and honor gender diversity and inclusion. You can submit your portrait for consideration here.

The creative team behind award-winning films Kumu Hina and Leitis in Waiting is partnering with the Bernice Pau’ahi Bishop Museum in Honolulu to curate an exhibition featuring a collection of portraits of gender diverse Pacific Islanders whose identity and expression are rooted in their cultural backgrounds. The concept stems from the fervent belief that visibility and representation play a powerful role in the struggle for acceptance and respect for gender and sexual minorities everywhere.
To reflect contemporary understandings and realities, and illuminate new possibilities, Pacific Islanders across the gender spectrum are invited to participate.
