Kalilinoe Detwiler is a Kanaka Maoli artist-writer who grew up watching the clouds move across Oʻahu from her home in Makakilo. Her work cares for the adaptation of lives, strengthening of relationships, coming of age narratives, and perpetuation of inherited moʻolelo (stories, histories) using creative, often hybrid forms. Woven into her practice as a storyteller are reciprocity, hope, and sovereignty, and her preferred mediums include poetry, non/fiction, animation, and illustration. Kalilinoe is currently a PhD student in English at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa where she explores storytelling responsibilities and possibilities. She works as a Graduate Research Assistant with Hā Kūpuna, National Resource Center for Native Hawaiian Elders, and Co-PI for Symphony of Hawaiʻi Seas, a live orchestra performance facilitating student relationships with the ocean using arts and STEAM curriculum. Her written work appears with Yellow Medicine Review, Haymarket Books, and the Academy of American Poets, and her multimodal work has showcased at the Honolulu Museum of Art, Hawaiʻi International Film Festival, and the Smithsonian Native Cinema Showcase.
