SOS

Description

SOS is an archival collage book detailing the history of urbanization in Hawai’i using the Save Our Surf’s promotional materials. Founded in the 1960s by John M. Kelly, the Save Our Surf movement was instrumental in protecting Hawai’i’s shorelines and advocating for aloha ‘āina. Re-contextualizing the Kelly’s words of protest in the 21st century, the book begs readers to question the widespread narrative that Honolulu has and always will be a concrete jungle.
