Hope is a Discipline - Exhibition Opening Reception
Jun
12

Hope is a Discipline - Exhibition Opening Reception

Hope is a Discipline begins with a question that lingers—what does it mean to keep going, to keep imagining, when the evidence around you suggests otherwise? Hope, here, is not presented as belief, but as a kind of behavior, something learned, repeated, carried. In the thinking of Mariame Kaba, it is a discipline, which is to say, a practice shaped as much by doubt as by faith.

The artists gathered in this exhibition understand that Black life has always existed in this tension between what is and what might be. Their work moves through love and resistance, memory and care, not as separate ideas but as overlapping conditions. There are moments of joy that feel deliberate, almost insistent. There are gestures that hold grief without trying to resolve it. And there are ways of being together—quiet, sometimes provisional—that suggest something like a future, even if it remains unnamed.

To think of hope as discipline is to accept that it does not arrive fully formed. It is built, piece by piece, in relation to others, in relation to the past, in relation to the limits placed on the present. The works in Hope is a Discipline do not argue for hope so much as they show what it looks like to live inside it, imperfectly, and to continue anyway.

Hope Is a Discipline brings together Black artists of all identities whose work confronts the conditions we are living under while reaching toward something more free and whole.

Co-curated by Josie Pickens and Tay Butler, the exhibition centers care, resistance, and imagination as ways we move toward liberation and remain in relationship with one another.

The exhibition takes its title from the work of visionary abolitionist organizer Mariame Kaba, who reminds us that hope is not passive—it’s something we choose and build together, especially in the face of ongoing harm.

Featuring work by Li(sa E.) Harris, Lovie Olivia, Josie Pickens, Tay Butler, Mich Stevenson, and Zsavon Butler, the exhibition spans visual art, sound, and performance. The works trace the realities of Black life shaped by surveillance, control, and abandonment, while also holding space for connection, resistance, and the work of becoming.

The exhibition opens with a public reception featuring remarks from the curators and participating artists. Public programming includes a listening session led by Tay Butler and a live performance by Li(sa E.) Harris, along with additional gatherings that invite participants to reflect, remain in relationship with one another, and consider how this work carries into the ways we live and care for each other.

“Hope is work”, says curator Josie Pickens. “It’s something we build in the middle of injustice, not after it. The artists in this exhibition are already living that out—creating ways to care for each other, to stay in relationship, and to imagine beyond the systems built for our demise.”

Hope Is a Discipline is presented at the Community Artists’ Collective, a long-standing space dedicated to Black artists and cultural work in Houston.

Music is my Sanctuary - Exhibition Opening & Concert

Visual and musical artists will celebrate Black Music Month Sunday, June 7, at the Eldorado Ballroom, 2310 Elgin.

The Community Artists’ Collective and the Community Music Center of Houston are collaborating with an exhibit entitled “Music Is My Sanctuary,” in the Dupree Room and a concert honoring Dr. Anne Lundy, the late Dr. Ruth Stewart,Ina Zellars and Dr. Gloria Quinlan, four women whose work reminds us that music is not only performed; it is taught, carried, remembered and passed on.

Artists featured in the exhibition, which is open from 2 to 4 p.m., include Catherine Martinez, Kaima Marie Akarue, Corey DeJuan Sherrad, Jr., Israel McCloud, Robert Hodge and Jazz Historian Tierney Malone, who curated the exhibition with Michelle Barnes, founder and executive director of The Collective.

“The title “Music Is My Sanctuary” is taken from the song and album by saxophonist Gary Bartz,” Malone said.

“The song lyrics reflect the power of music,” he explained, “and the artists in the exhibition are expressing their connection to Black music as catalyst and inspiration in their lives and artistic practice.”

The art exhibition is from 2 to 4 p.m. and will be on display through June 27. The Legacy Honoree Celebration and Concert, featuring a performance by the Firey String Sisters, is from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. in the ballroom.

The Firey String Sisters of New York City, who are making their Texas debut, consist of three women who infuse Jazz with world music, global funk and soul to create a unique sound for violin, cello, bass, piano, vocals and percussion.

Attendance to the art exhibition is FREE, and the concert is a pay-what-you-can event.

Houston. Coffee. Photos. Repeat. Photography And Film Developing Workshop with Christian Toledo

Caffenol is a developing agent that is made with coffee and Vitamin C, an environmentally friendly way of developing film at home. This workshop was sparked by personal questions about coffee, photography, sustainability, human rights, and environmental justice. 

This workshop is to cultivate mindfulness of our surroundings through photography, think more about sustainability and to connect everything back to nature and the people who nurture it; from the grain that make up the photo to the beans that wake us up in the morning.

Altar of Care - Joy As Ritual: Story Circle

In partnership with Restorative Houston & The Collective, Lualo Studios invites you into Joy as Ritual — a community circle held within Altar of Care. Altar of Care is a gathering place, a living thank you - holding story, memory, and relationship.

Within this space, Joy as Ritual invites us to practice joy as a way of being with each other. Joy as survival. Joy as adaptation. Joy as a remembering of our wholeness, together.

Held alongside Sulong: Roots in Motion - a bakawan balikbayan–inspired tree where care, migration, and ancestry converge. In many Filipino traditions, trees are sites of offering, where the living and ancestors meet. it guides us to ask: how are we rooting into each other? what are we holding, together? What becomes possible when we move like a mangrove - adaptive, interconnected, and grounded in care?

Alongside this, We Create What Sustains Us - a collective of hand-carved spoons — carries stories of nourishment, reminding us that care lives in the everyday act of feeding and tending to one another.

Because what we practice grows.

Altar of Care - Opening Exhibition

Altar of Care - Opening Exhibition

An exhibition by Lualo Studio ~
Jenah Maravilla, Trisha Morales, Rea Sampilo & Christian Toledo

Altar of Care is a gathering place. A thank you, a living archive of how we care for each other. Here, the altar is both form and framework—bringing together Lualo’s communal artistic and cultural movement-based work through archival materials, installation pieces, collective memory, art-making workshops, collaborations and story circles.

Rooted in Houston, Texas - this exhibition emerges within overlapping conditions - migration, environmental crises, attacks on trans youth, and ongoing educational erasure. Amid these pressures, practices of care continue to persist and evolve. Altar of Care asks: How do communities resist isolation and disposability to build networks of care and joy? What does care look like in our daily survival and organizing?

Guided by their pillars of culture, healing, embodiment, storytelling, and collaboration, Lualo Studio approaches art as a relational practice—one that understands culture as shaping how we see and move through the world, healing as collective, the body as a site of knowledge, storytelling as a tool for narrative shift, and collaboration as essential to building more just and connected futures.

This altar is a ritual: a practice where memory, labor, grief, and love are held together. Here, care is not abstract - it is everyday acts, it is mutual aid, the quiet labor of tending to one another, and showing up when systems do not.

Visitors are invited to engage as both witness and participant—to reflect on the networks of care that have held them, honor unseen labor, contribute their own stories, and imagine futures rooted in collective care.

Altar of Care is a continuation—
a reminder that the future we are building is shaped by how we care for one another now.

This exhibition is dedicated to our friend Rachel Jackson (1987 - 2025).

ABOUT LUALO STUDIO
Lualo Studio, lualo (loo•wall•oh) meaning prayer or offering in Ilocano, is a Houston-based cause-driven creative studio, formed to support community-centric work. Through storytelling, movement-building, and creative gatherings, the studio asks collaborators: How can our work or our lives be a moving prayer? How can we make space to create spaces of deep connection through the gifts we each have?

Their work is guided by four pillars: Culture and community-informed approaches, Healing through collective action, Embodiment of rights and freedom, Storytelling as a means of advocacy, and Collaboration for inclusivity. Lualo Studio consists of four artists (Jenah Maravilla, Trisha Morales, Rea Sampilo, and Christian Toledo), with roots as founding team members of Pilipino American Unity for Progress, Inc Texas Chapter (2016-2020).

Altar of Care is a living testament to the collaborative nature of the studio; highlighting the interconnected struggles and triumphs of the Houston community in the current political climate. Highly interactive programming activations will touch on themes of identity, land, migration and belonging, knowledge sharing, and communal art, in the hopes of story sharing, deep listening, and imagining a kinder, more caring future.

Nurturing The Feminine: Veils -Exhibition Closing

Join Brittany & Devan Mayfield for a ceremonial exhibition closing in conjunction with the Spring Equinox.

~

Nurturing The Feminine: Veils is an artistic extension of Nurturing The Feminine, a ceremonial practice created by sisters Brittany and Devan Mayfield. Inspired by lived experience, ancestral remembrance, and embodied healing, this exhibition brings ritual into the gallery space—positioning our art as a site of nourishment, devotion, and reflection.

Drawing from our backgrounds in somatic healing, esoteric arts, floral design and holistic health, we create an immersive environment that reflects the natural magic of earth and the self. Veils unfolds as an exploration of the Divine Feminine through ritual, imagery, and installation. This work honors the feminine as layered, cyclical, and sovereign.

The exhibition functions as a nurturing offering and a space of reverence. It is an invitation to witness and contemplate the Divine Feminine as it exists within the body, earth, and the unseen.

Veils holds space for quiet observation, inviting reflection on the thresholds between visibility and mystery, form and spirit. Through this unfolding, the work affirms the feminine as a sacred presence—ever-changing, eternal, and whole.
