‘IMILOA EXPLORES THE ART AND SCIENCE OF PAPER FOLDING
IN NEW EPIC ORIGAMI EXHIBIT
Hilo, Hawai‘i – ‘Imiloa Astronomy Center will feature local Waimea artist Bonnie
Cherni and other guest artists in a new EPIC ORIGAMI exhibit. The three-month exhibit
will explore the art and science of origami from July 5, 2015 – September 27, 2015.
Cherni’s art has been shown at Kahilu Theatre, Keck Observatory and Waimea
Ocean Film Festival and will be presented at ‘Imiloa with some never-seen-before pieces
including the Jackson lizard, an endangered Hawaiian hoary bat, rhinos, the wild pig and a
smiley frog. This exhibit will also explore how the application of math to art has made
advances in astronomy, medicine and the automotive industry. In conjunction with this
exhibit, the award-winning film “Between the Folds” will be shown daily in the Planetarium
at 11:00 a.m. (not full dome, but letterbox format). This documentary paints a striking
portrait of the remarkable artistic and scientific creativity that fuels the ever-changing art of
origami, fusing science and sculpture, form and function, and ancient and new. A hands-on
origami folding station and exciting origami scavenger hunt will also be a part of this exhibit.
The exhibit will officially open on Sunday, July 5 at 9:00 a.m. with two showings of
“Between the Folds” at 10:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. and origami folding stations available
throughout the day. From 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. ‘Imiloa members are invited to a private
pizza lunch and exclusive origami folding activities with artist Bonnie Cherni.
Cherni is an avid student of John Montroll’s designs and was inspired to fold origami
from age of fifteen. She is the leading artist for this exhibit and has collaborated with guest
artists from around the world, creating everything from miniature to life-sized sculptures, in
mediums ranging from paper, aluminum, copper and canvas. Her art embodies the idea of

Happenings Page 2 “folding sturdy sculptures that can live out in the real world.” Other artists represented
include: (1) Vietnamese artist Nguyen Hung Cuong lives in Hanoi and folds many of his
expressive designs using a Vietnamese paper with a waxy finish called Dó. He has been
folding since the young age of five and has been featured in many origami books with his
incredibly detailed pieces. (2) Nicolas Terry is a professional origami artist who resides in
Paris, France. He is an accomplished author and creator of one of the most popular origami
sites in the world (origami-shop.us). (3) Steven Epstein resides on the Big Island. With a
degree in computer science and minor in math, Epstein has fun bringing math to life with
his intricate modular origami pieces. (4) Local artist Shannon Nakaya is a highly recognized
bird surgeon and veterinarian who applies her understanding of anatomical structure and
function to folding complex origami.
Admission to EPIC ORIGAMI and “Between the Folds” is included in the general
admission fee of $17.50 for adults and $9.50 for children. Kama’aina prices are available
and, and always, ‘Imiloa members receive free admission.

‘Imiloa on the Road New Mobile Outreach for Big Island Schools and Communities
Hilo, Hawai‘i -‘Imiloa Astronomy Center announces the launch of its newest
educational endeavor, MANU ʻImiloa, a mobile outreach program aimed at sharing
‘Imiloa’s unique brand of culture-based science education across the island. Beginning in the
fall of 2015, MANU ʻImiloa (Modern and Ancient ways of Navigating our Universe) will
take ‘Imiloa staff on the road with an interactive curriculum inspired by the Polynesian
Voyaging Society’s epic Worldwide Voyage, and designed to explore the skills involved in
non-instrument ocean navigation, or wayfinding.
“As we prepare to celebrate ‘Imiloa’s second decade in 2016, we expect this new
initiative to dramatically expand the programs offered at our Hilo center, making science
accessible and culturally relevant to new audiences across our island and our state,” says
‘Imiloa Executive Director, Kaʻiu Kimura.
Outreach will be offered in two formats. NOIO (Non-instrument Orientation, an
Introduction to Oceanic Wayfinding) is a 30 – 60 minute package that can be delivered on
request by K-12 schools and community centers, or offered as part of local events.
Audiences of all ages gather around a model of the Hawaiian Star Compass or sit inside
‘Imiloa’s digital portable planetarium to learn how wayfinders rely upon the stars and their
relationship with the environment to determine course and direction.
The second offering, KŌLEA (Keeping Our Legacy of Exploration Alive), is a two-
week+ curriculum package designed specifically for middle school teachers to adopt for 7th
and 8th grade science or math classes. Titled “The Geometry of Wayfinding,” it explores the
Outreach
Page 2 geometry and science that undergird traditional Polynesian non-instrumental navigation.
Created using Moenahā- a culture-based curriculum design and instructional model - and
developed with the guidance of a teacher advisory committee, this experience aligns with
Common Core State Math Standards, Nā Honua Mauli Ola Cultural Guidelines for Learners,
and Next Generation Science Standards. KŌLEA comprises 6 units designed to be taught
over 2 weeks, with one unit delivered in an outreach visit by ‘Imiloa staff, and the others pre-
and post-visit lessons to be taught by the classroom teacher.
Celeste Haʻo, ‘Imiloa’s outreach coordinator, recently served as apprentice navigator
aboard Hōkūleʻa as part of the Mālama Honua Worldwide Voyage. Haʻo speaks from
personal experience, explaining that “‘The Geometry of Wayfinding’ explores real-life math
applications, showing students how wayfinders utilize their knowledge of angle degrees and
angle pair relationships in the Hawaiian Star Compass to organize the horizon, calibrate and
properly orient themselves to their surrounding environment and to determine position.”
Along with curriculum, KŌLEA offers participating teachers specialized training,
access to customized educational materials and traveling toolkits, and opportunities to
engage with crewmembers from the Worldwide Voyage. The 2015-2016 KŌLEA program
will be limited to a first cohort of 10 enthusiastic and passionate middle school teachers
across Hawaiʻi Island. Selected teachers must complete program requirements and
participate in an inaugural teacher workshop slated for October 5-7, 2015. Applications for
the 10 places open Monday, June 1, and close Saturday, August 15, 2015; selection
committee decisions will be announced by September 1.
The development of curriculum and materials and the pilot testing of ‘Imiloa’s new
mobile outreach programming were made possible by a generous grant from the Gordon
and Betty Moore Foundation. The Moore Foundation grant has also funded ‘Imiloa’s
purchase of a digital portable planetarium, and during the coming year, it will enable ‘Imiloa
to acquire a customized vehicle for use in outreach.
For more information on ‘Imiloa outreach programs and costs, visit outreach page
