Israel Alejandro Garcia Garcia: CAPIROTADA No. 1
Israel Alejandro Garcia Garcia's exhibition, CAPIROTADA No.1 at the Crossroads Hotel, offers a powerful narrative on the immigrant experience in the Americas, exploring how cultural identity is maintained amidst displacement and hostile environments. Drawing from personal experiences of migration and the intricate dynamics of 'documentation' and border politics, the multimedia exhibition explores the fight against gentrification and the concept of boundaries.
Ming Smith: Feeling the Future
This special exhibition explores artist Ming Smith’s unparalleled and under-recognized career from the early 1970s through the present. The exhibition encompasses a multitude of artistic expressions to represent Smith’s vibrant and multi-layered practice, which is grounded in portraiture, and amplifies the heartbeat of Black life in the United States. Feeling the Future places works from the artist’s five-decades of creation in conversation with one another, exploring themes such as Afrofuturism, Black cultural expression, representation, and social examination.
Tay Butler and Lovie Olivia
Tay Butler and Lovie Olivia participated in Contemporary Art Museum Houston (CAMH)’s artist-in-residence program, CAMHLAB, in partnership with Houston Freedmen’s Town Conservancy (HFTC). While in residence, their research highlighted, honored, and animated the critical histories and stories of Freedmen’s Town, a neighborhood established in 1865 by over 1,000 newly freed Black people that is now recognized as Houston’s first Heritage District. The presentation at Houston First is inspired by the ideas Bulter and Olivia were toiling with during their CAMHLAB residency.
