September 25 at 4pm

At Swedish American Museum Cafe — Mormor’s Café

Andersonville, Chicago

"the best cafe for fika in all of Chicago"
Cardamom buns are warm, soft, and not overly sweet
Napuahinano also co-curated hula at the Field Museum

Two artists, nine decades apart, explore what we inherit and what we carry forward. Rae Penzin and Kaho'okele Napuahinano weave Swedish and Hawaiian traditions into works that feel both intimate and far-reaching. Come for the art, stay for the cardamom buns.
