History
Established in Honolulu in 2010 by Sean Connelly, Afteroceanic Inc. grew from a socially driven, activist-inspired initiative to support the artist's mission to advance the use of radical geospatial intelligence for the recovery and protection of Native cartographies and built environments.

Impact
Afteroceanic operates as the imprint of a studio driven art practice providing professional services on a contractual basis to those in need of intimately localized, sophisticated, and globally informed expertise grounded in the intellect of Hawai‘i history and biocultural movement.
