Through artistic research and lived experience\, they highlight the unique environmental challenges facing local\, regional\, and national landscapes. View artist bios \nThrough creative action and building a historical understanding of these types of cataclysmic events\, River on Fire seeks to provide a platform for conversation and awareness of ongoing environmental issues. The relationship between living in a city dominated by industry and co-existing with environmental disaster in the wake of climate change has brought the city’s resilience into question and increased concerns over the continuation of industry practices that place people and the natural world at risk. As Houston continues to grow\, the effects of climate change have become increasingly severe— record heat waves\, flooding\, more frequent and intense hurricanes\, and massive power outages are clear signs that we already have to confront new and different ways of being. River on Fire asks: how do artists and creative practices shift the narrative and introduce possible solutions in a city with such a complex ecosystem? \nRiver on Fire includes internal evaluations of DW exhibition practices and implementation of sustainable exhibition design developed through a year-long Climate Coaching Pilot with the Teiger Foundation and Rute Collaborative\, a Canadian-based environmental consultant. The impetus for the project comes in part from Houston’s entwined history with the oil\, gas\, and chemical industries and the curator’s youth spent living in Houston-area neighborhoods close to these industries.  \nRiver on Fire is presented in conversation with the eighth iteration of the Texas Biennial The Last Sky\, co-curated by Ashley DeHoyos Sauder\, Erika Mei Chua Holum\, and Coka Treviño. Biennial artists featured in River on Fire include Brandon Ballengée\, Heather L. Johnson\, Ayanna Jolivet Mccloud\, Laura Napier & Zuyva Sevilla. \nCheck back for updates on related programs. \nRELATED PROGRAMS\nthe air we breathe online workshop with Christina BattleOctober 7 – November 1\, 2024 \nArt + Climate Justice SymposiumNovember 8 – 10\, 2024Keynote Speaker: Dr. Kirsty RoberstonCLICK TO REGISTER \nPRESS\nRead Survival and Perseverance: River on Fire at DiverseWorks Centers Climate Justice\, Arts and Culture Texas (Sep 2024).Read New Exhibition Tackles Complicated Emotions Of Pollution And People\, Texas Signal Media Foundation (Oct 2024).Listen to Ashley DeHoyos Sauder\, Kristi Rangel\, Willow Naomi Curry\, and Heather L.

SUMMARY:River on Fire - Art + Climate Justice Symposium
DESCRIPTION:  \nArt + Climate Justice Symposium\nNov 8 – 10\, 2024\nAdmission: Free \nThe River on Fire: Art + Climate Justice Symposium centers on topics such as the legacy of oil and gas\, the Gulf Coast as a precarious region\, and artistic and curatorial sustainable practices. The symposium features a full day of panel discussions\, art breaks\, and opportunities for socializing and building community.\n \nHoustonians have become increasingly aware of the city and region’s vulnerability to climate change. Record heat\, flooding caused by heavy rain\, tropical storms\, hurricanes\, and more recently— record freezing temperatures that knocked out the Texas power grid—make it harder to deny our current climate crisis. The River on Fire: Art + Climate Justice Symposium centers on how art and climate action can help shift the climate change narrative and build a better future. \nCLICK TO READ PARTICIPANT BIOS\n\nSYMPOSIUM SCHEDULE\nFriday\, Nov 8: Workshop and Reception\n3:30 pm | Workshop: Sustainable Practices for Artists and Curators\nJack Massing\, Hannah Chalew\, and Ashley DeHoyos Sauder \n6 pm | Symposium Reception\nSpoken word by Aris Kian\, Houston Poet Laureate \n\nSaturday\, Nov 9: Symposium\n9:30 am – 6 pm \n9:45 am | Welcome Ceremony\nAshley DeHoyos Sauder and Eddie Garcia \n10 am | Panel #1\nHouston Is Not a Sacrifice Zone\nErandi Treviño\, Steve Rowell\, Joe Robles IV\, and Aaron Ambroso \n12:30 pm | Lunch Break \n2 pm | Keynote Address: Collaborating from the Ground Up\nDr. Kirsty Robertson\, Director\, The Centre for Sustainable Curating and Co-Founder\, Synthetic Collective \n3:15 pm | Panel #2\nWater is Life: Advocacy\, Pollution & Policy\nAlice Liu\, Laura Napier\, Jackie Medcalf\, and Ayanna Jolivet Mccloud \n4:45 pm | Panel #3\nThe Future: Looking at the Gulf for New Possibilities and Perspectives\nDenise Fraizer\, Brandon Ballengée\, Willow Naomi Curry\, Stephany Valdez\, and Ashley DeHoyos Sauder \n\nSunday\, Nov 10: Workshop\n11 am | Soil Science Workshop\nRebecca Verm and​ Carolina Aranibar-Fernández. \n\nSUPPORT\nRiver on Fire is supported in part by the Texas Commission on the Arts\, the City of Houston through the Houston Arts Alliance\, The Brown Foundation\, Inc.\, Houston Endowment\, DiverseWorks members and patrons\, and Teiger Foundation\, with climate coaching for exhibition production and programming provided by Rute Collaborative as part of Teiger Foundation’s Climate Action Pilot. \nThe River on Fire: Art + Climate Justice Symposium is supported by a grant from Teiger Foundation for participation in the Climate Action Pilot\, the Texas Commission on the Arts\, and DW Art + Climate Partners.

SUMMARY:Praise Music Sonogram
DESCRIPTION:February 6 – 8\, 2025 | 7 PMMatchbox 1 @ MATCHAdmission: Pay-what-you-wish. $25 suggested.GET TICKETS\nJulia Barbosa Landois’s Praise Music Sonogram is a live performance that combines spoken word\, video\, and experimental sound to tell a story of motherhood\, miscarriage\, and abortion access across national and state borders. Contrasting an unexpected experience in a European haven for healthcare seekers with the medical scarcity and the 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade in the U.S.\, Barbosa Landois delivers a narrative that is both deeply personal and unexpectedly comedic. \nCollaborating with Julia Barbosa Landois on this production are Candice D’Meza (Director)\, Andrew Martinez (Musician and Live Performer)\, and Edgar Guajardo (Technical Director). The performance is accompanied by a storytelling and knowledge-sharing zine\, Tía Sabiduría\, that is informed by the DIY aesthetic of Barbosa Landois’ youth. Special thanks to zine co-designer Tina Hernandez and to the following local organizations that helped shape and/or were part of outreach actions for this project: Deeds not Words\, Fund Texas Choice\, Houston Women’s Reproductive Services\, MECA\, Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast\, and ZineFest Houston. \nPraise Music Sonogram exists where storytelling\, community medicine\, and transnational healthcare persist as resistance to geographic borders and limits on bodily autonomy. In development as part of a 2023 NPN Creation Fund grant from August 2023-December 2024\, the work premieres at DiverseWorks before traveling to the Stanlee and Gerald Rubin Center for the Visual Arts at the University of El Paso and Links Hall\, Chicago. \nABOUT THE ARTIST\nJulia Barbosa Landois is a Houston-based multidisciplinary artist whose work teases profundity and absurdity from the everyday and examines the relationship between the intimate and the public. Her unsettling and sometimes funny performances often use commonplace technologies like a cell phone or stationary bike in unexpected ways. Her work is included in the current exhibition Xican-a.o.x. Body (Pérez Art Museum\, Miami\, June 13\, 2024 – February 16\, 2025)\, curated by Cecilia Fajardo-Hill\, Gilbert Vicario\, & Marissa Del Toro. Landois’s live performances have been presented at Fusebox Festival (Austin)\, Contemporary Arts Museum Houston\, Blaffer Art Museum (University of Houston)\, Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara\, and Blue Star Contemporary (San Antonio)\, among others. Awards include grants from the National Association of Latino Arts & Cultures (NALAC)\, Puffin Foundation\, and Houston Arts Alliance\, and residencies at Lawndale Art Center\, Santa Fe Art Institute\, and Künstlerhaus Bethanien (Germany). \nSUPPORT\nPraise Music Sonogram is a National Performance Network (NPN) Creation & Development Fund Project co-commissioned by DiverseWorks\, The Stanlee and Gerald Rubin Center for the Visual Arts\, and NPN. For more information: www.npnweb.org. \nPraise Music Sonogram is supported in part by the Alice Kleberg Reynolds Foundation. Additional program and general operating support is from the City of Houston through the Houston Arts Alliance\, Texas Commission on the Arts\, The Brown Foundation\, Inc.\, Cullen Trust for the Performing Arts\, Houston Endowment\, Ruth Foundation for the Arts\, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, and Teiger Foundation.
