Theaster Gates: The Gift and The Renege
Theaster Gates: The Gift and The Renege presents work by the acclaimed Chicago-based artist, featuring large-scale paintings, sculptures, and installations that highlight the seen and unseen dynamics of Freedmen’s Town in Houston’s Fourth Ward.
Pop-Up Exhibition | State of Disruption
Boldly exploring themes related to identity, disruption, child-like obsessions, and controlled chaos, State of Disruption is a compelling exhibition that confronts the challenges and complexities of the nation’s current education system. Teachers from CAMH’s Teacher Advisory Group (TAG) and their students channel their creativity and insights into thought-provoking works that reflect their classroom experiences and perspectives.
THIS WAY: A Houston Group Show
As first seen at CAMH, THIS WAY: A Houston Group Show is on view at Houston Freedmen's Town Conservancy Visitors Center as part of the Rebirth in Action partnership.
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.
