At the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU, APP '13 Jamaica Heolimeleikalani Osorio will share how she is currently working as an artist-scholar through publishing her book, "Remembering Our Intimacies."

The Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU will be hosting the "New Books in Native & Indigenous Studies" panel in the near future. The panel will host three scholars' works, including Osorio's. In Remembering Our Intimacies: Moʻolelo, Aloha ‘Aina, and Ea (University of Minnesota Press, 2021), lauded as “the moʻolelo that queer Natives have been waiting for,” Osorio embarks on an eye-opening excavation of the term aloha ʻaina, salvaging it from colonial historiography and presenting it as an idea rooted in intimacy, heritage, and freedom.
