Join us as we go live with my good friend Kalisolaite ‘Uhila. ‘Uhila focuses on live performance, and he takes inspiration from his daily life – drawing people close into his perspectives and experiences of the world. This means ‘Uhila is sometimes invisible, disguised or inaccessible. Harriet Friedlander residency, which is gifted every two years. He then went on to do his Master's thesis, which explored time in social structures and relationships. He called his thesis Maumau-taimi: Wasting Time; Being Useless which looked at perspectives of wasting time and time well wasted. Kalisolaite ‘Uhila also a finalist in the 2014 Walters Prize.
