UH Zine Week is hosted by the School of Art and the Arts & Technology Center at the University of Houston. This week-long celebration will showcase independent media and artistic expression. From zines to graffiti, and Wheatpasting to independently published books, this initiative hopes to foster collaboration across disciplines and show students the strength of their voices. This week-long event is going to include exhibitions, a reading room, workshops, artist talks, and even the exciting unveiling of a brand new Zine-O-Matic vending machine!

Tania Candiani: Lifeblood
September 22—November 19, 2023
Histories and lives embedded in the land – and particularly the waterways that have alternately built and destroyed Houston over time – will be the subject of a newly commissioned, multi-disciplinary work by Mexican artist Tania Candiani. In her past work, Candiani has worked across a spectrum of media and practices to explore the intersections between people, place, labor and industry. In so doing, Candiani initiates explorations and collaborations that convene communal meditations on the past via music, architecture, and craft, with an emphasis on early technologies and vernacular practices of record-keeping. Her work in Houston will be developed out of an intermittent eight-month residency sponsored and supported by the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts. A portion of this project was created in the Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern in collaboration with Buffalo Bayou Partnership.
Immerse yourself in a world where form and substance merge to push the boundaries of artistic expression. Our MFA Sculpture students have poured their passion and vision into a diverse range of captivating installations and three-dimensional artworks.
Convergence Research is a collaboration between the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts and the Blaffer Art Museum. It is a platform for experimentation and research for students and faculty of all disciplines in the McGovern College of the Arts with the goal of creating more opportunities for connection between the disciplines. Convergence Research supports interdisciplinary inquiry and techniques to stimulate creative process and cultivate works that are performative, temporary and in any stage of process. Convergence Research is curated by Arts Leadership Graduate Assistant Ji Won Chun.
