Visiting Master Show Opening & Artist Talk

Join us on Friday, March 20th at 5:00pm for an exclusive opening of Explorations of Self with martial arts master and artist Ray Carbullido as he introduces his immersive gallery installation and Visiting Master experience at Halekulani. In this presentation, Ray shares the philosophy behind his work, reflecting on an artistic journey that unfolds alongside and through his martial arts practice. He explores how internal cultivation and movement give form to the relationship between the visible and invisible aspects of our being.

The talk will be followed by a live sword demonstration, through which Ray translates principles from rare internal cultivation traditions, including Baguazhang and Tengu swordsmanship, traditions traditionally shared within closed lineages, into direct, embodied experience. This demonstration highlights foundational human movement and internal awareness, revealing how clarity, centeredness, and vitality emerge through practice. Participants will then be guided on a gallery tour of the exhibition, including selections from the Light Mandala series and the participatory Portal installation, with context that connects the visual work to the practices that generated it.

This event is complimentary and open to the public; parking included for attendees.
