"We recently received a thoughtful question from one of our followers about the Hawaiian heritage of the dancers featured in Kim’s work.

It opened the door to a much bigger conversation, and we’d love to hear your perspective.

Kim’s dancers are Hawaiian, though being 100% Hawaiian by ancestry is not a requirement for the work. Our focus has always been on honoring and preserving the beauty, meaning, language, and traditions of Hula Kahiko, while helping raise awareness of why keeping that culture alive matters.

There are many ways people connect to heritage, identity, language, and tradition, and we know this is a subject with depth.

So we invite you to share your thoughts.

And while you’re here, take a little time to explore Kim’s work on the website and see the stories, movement, and culture he has spent decades documenting. https://kimtaylorreece.com/

Look closely at each image in this carousel. The position of the arms, the angle of the hands, even the space between movements. Swipe through once for the beauty. Then go back and look again for the story.

For anyone who has visited Hawaiʻi and felt the aloha spirit, there are certain moments that stay with you long after you leave.
A piece of Kim Taylor Reece’s art can bring you right back to that feeling.

In Hawaiian, “ua hoʻopā ʻia kou naʻau e Hawaiʻi” can be understood as “your heart has been touched by Hawaiʻi.”

Bring a little of Hawaiʻi home with you. And from our islands to you we say "a hui hou"...."until we meet again"

Watch the hands. There is a language there. In Hula Kahiko, the hands are never just moving. They speak. They carry story, place, memory, emotion, and meaning from one generation to the next.

In Hula Kahiko, the whole body speaks.
Every movement has something to say. Focus first on the feet to ground the story, then the arms to carry it...and next the eyes complete it.

We’ve run into a funny little problem lately: AI seems to like Kim Taylor Reece’s work so much, it wants to take credit for it. 😄

Some of Kim’s photographs have recently been tagged by Meta as AI-generated. The truth is much simpler. These are Kim’s original photographs and artwork.

From time to time, we use digital tools to help prepare older images for today’s social platforms, things like sharpening, resizing, or adjusting aspect ratios so the work displays properly on Facebook and Instagram.

The art is Kim’s. The vision is Kim’s. The moment captured is Kim’s.

AI just helps us make sure you can see it clearly on your screen.
