The first edition of the Honolulu Biennial has already been in full swing for one month by the time I arrived in Hawai’i. Directed by Fumio Nanjo of Tokyo’s Mori Art Museum, and curated by Ngahiraka Mason, formerly of Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, the Biennial, entitled “Middle of Now | Here,” is the first-ever event of its kind in the Pacific Islands.
