About the Artists
Angelique (Ang) Kalani Axelrode (they/ʻo ia) is a multimedia artist, filmmaker, and founder of aka productions (pronounced aw-kah), a BIPOC and Gen Z-centered production company committed to relational, process-based approaches to media-making. Rooted in diasporic Kanaka ʻŌiwi and multiracial lineage, their practice spans different categories, often not fitting into one particular box.
Maui faces escalating displacement of unsheltered people, violence against immigrant neighbors, and ongoing settler colonial state violence including desecration of wahi pana (sacred places). Our communities are in urgent need of infrastructure that holds both crisis response and long term healing. Maui Medic Healers Hui responds through Healing Justice, building internal movement infrastructure to address burnout, conflict, and community accountability within local organizing groups. Their current campaigns prioritize Hawaiian Ea (Sovereignty), Housing Justice, and Immigrant Justice, with Reproductive Justice, Queer Justice, and Transformative Justice as interconnected pillars.
