The Wailoa Art and Cultural Center’s Fountain Gallery will present an exhibit/video installation by Laura Moidel Acevedo titled “Antrozoumorphism” from June 5-25.
The exhibit features a 15-minute virtual reality machinima video of the character Antrozous Frostwych, artist and trickster, and a group of prints depicting the avatar’s transformation. Acevedo composed the accompanying music, a jazz/world beat/Hindustani raga fusion.
Acevedo is a psychotherapist in private practice who incorporates art, music and virtual reality therapy into her healing work. She has been creating original art and music since 1966.

Acevedo has shown her artwork at Wailoa Center and the Hawaii Museum of Contemporary Art, as well as internationally in virtual galleries and her own Frostwych Gallery in Hilo.
She also is a founding member of the Hawaii Island Indian Music Circle and performs Hindustani jazz fusion in public venues regularly.
There will be a reception for the artist from 5-7 p.m. June 5. Acevedo will perform the soundtrack from her video while it plays at 6 p.m.
