The event has been featured in major cities like New York and Miami.<\/p>\n<p>Gerhardt is co-organizing the series on <span aria-label=\"Oahu\">O&#699;ahu<\/span> with artist and geographer Adele Balderston. The free events will include three presentations and two community walks highlighting the historical flow of water through <span aria-label=\"Kakaako\">Kaka&#699;ako<\/span>, flooding risks, watershed management and future development.<\/p>\n<p>All events are free and open to the public, beginning on December 12 and running through January 25.
