The local community also plays a large role in the success of POW! WOW! both nationally and internationally. All visiting artists who sometimes become international POW! WOW! collaborators are amazed by the positive response and support by residents of the Kaka’ako district of Honolulu. Their positive energy transports a spirit that is welcomed and in demand, all over the world. There are also many teams behind the team.
