From stepping inside a giant Anaconda, to "meeting" Frida Kahlo, the Museum is taking visitors on a cultural journey during Hispanic Heritage Month.
This year’s celebration features art installations presented in partnership with the University of Houston’s Center for Mexican American and Latino/a Studies (CMALS). In the Museum's courtyard, children could enter The Anaconda / El GÜIO to see the night sky and hear the sounds of the Amazon. Created by Loriana Espinel, this sculpture is inspired by pre-Hispanic, South American creation stories. Student volunteers from CMALS welcomed families to the sculpture throughout its three-week exhibition, and the artist discussed her work with visitors at select times, including on Free Family Nights.
A second installation, Latino cARTographies, is being presented in the Museum’s Design Studio through November 9th. This immersive, touchscreen display showcases more than 340 artists. Latino cARTographies was created by Pamela Anne Quiroz, Juana Guzman, and CMALS.
As part of the festivities, the Museum is presenting a Hispanic Heritage Month performing arts series that will continue through October 2nd. Programming features ballet folklórico dancing, a Selena tribute, Flamenco dancing, a bilingual puppet show, and an interactive art class led by an actress playing Frida Kahlo.
