“Fight Like A Girl’!

Eastside as Found by Jae Boggess – Funded by a grant from Rice Design Alliance, this photography exhibit documents industrial and commercial buildings east of downtown. In danger of demolition, these neglected and vacant buildings help tell the story of Houston as a repeated boomtown and have the potential to define a unique sense of place as these neighborhoods change. Architect Jae Boggess hopes that the exhibit will prompt a dialogue about what will become of our city’s built history.

Encounter: Meeting Points on Buffalo Bayou is a collaboration between students from the University of Houston Graphic Design and Creative Writing programs with funding support from the Mitchell Center for the Arts. The exhibit features proposals for site-based installations and engagement events to be held on sites along Buffalo Bayou’s East Sector in spring 2018. The installations express an interpretation of the history, economy, resilience, culture and community values of the East End and Fifth Ward communities as they relate to the bayou and green spaces.

On view through January 29 (Monday–Friday from 9 am–5 pm).

Join the Buffalo Bayou Partnership for a self-guided tour of six sites along Buffalo Bayou featuring installations by students from the University of Houston Graphic Design and Creative Writing Programs. These interactive installations express ideas about the bayou’s relation to the East End and Fifth Ward communities.

This free, afternoon event features:

• Site-specific, text-based installations at six locations along Buffalo Bayou’s East Sector
• Large-scale typographic/text-based messages/stories that activate and animate created by students
• Interpretations of the history, economy, resilience, culture and community values of the East Sector neighborhoods as they relate to the bayou and green spaces
• Self-guided tours of the installations and share ideas and opinions related to Buffalo Bayou Partnership’s future plans along the Bayou’s East Sector 
• Participatory activities ranging from nature walks to boat tours and live entertainment and food trucks will be located at the North York Boat Launch site
