Join Visiting Artist Chris Ayala and the Mitchell Center for an afternoon of creative movement. In this program, participants will engage with site-specific writing in both nature and urban settings through studying the walk (flâneur). Flâneur derives from the Old Norse verb flana, “to wander with no purpose”. However, we have a purpose: documentation of place, context, and self through travel along Houston’s Buffalo Bayou. We will operate in the tradition of writers and artists who work with the walk as a literary form, such as Pierre Larousse, Charles Baudelaire, Dodie Bellamy, Eileen Myles, Virginia Woolf, Janet Cardiff, Agnes Varda, and Ron Silliman. By the end of this program we will have the tools to create multimodal projects about our experiences, journeys, and sites taking into account the contrast between the urbane and the natural world. No writing experience is necessary and all disciplines and interests are welcome! Bring your camera, sketchbook, or any other creative implements you feel comfortable carrying.
The Texas Biennial is a geographically-led, independent survey of contemporary art in Texas.
A series of exhibitions and programming in San Francisco and Houston that examines the shifts in dilated time, ritual, memory-keeping, and community-building in artistic practices in the years 2020-2024.

dissonant
mix
of

head.
