What is 'POW WOW'
History
A ‘Pow Wow’ is a Native American celebration of music and art. It’s a gathering of creative minds. Inspired by this ancient tradition, artists organize their own ‘Pow Wows’ – art and music events for local communities, on a global scale.
Pow Wow Hong Kong
In February 2010, the first annual Pow Wow event took place in Hong Kong. Creatives were flown in from all over the world to promote creative pursuits in an urban jungle. Artists including Wu Yue, Jasper Wong, Will Barras, Pat Lee, and Jahan produced live art over two days, while DJs Verbal and Yoon masterfully provided us with musical inspiration.
Pow Wow Hawaii
The second annual Pow Wow will be held in Oahu, Hawaii in February, 2011. Following last year’s success, most of our original line-up are back on board, with some exceptional local and international additions. Our theme this year: the process of creating art. This year promises to be an explosive art event, with more artists, more music, and more reasons for you to Pow Wow.
