The Story of Artist John Biggers
As the 100th birthday of the late (已故) John Biggers is coming near in 2024, the MFAH celebrates his legacy (遗产). These videos present a conversation with artists he encouraged, and a look at the wall painting he was invited to paint, describing Black longshoremen of Houston.
A Mosaic of Art and Community
Meet the Jubilee Quilt Circle, created in the 1990s to protect the legacy of African American quilting (被子)while encouraging personal growth opportunities and experiences in Houston. In this two-part video series, hear from Jubilee members and learn about the central community spirit that goes into the art of quilt-making.
I Too, We Two!
Virtual (虚拟的) experiences — dance, music, spoken-word performances, interviews and more — pay honour to the African American artists whose work is on view in the Museum’s Nancy and Rich Kinder Building. The heading “I Too, We Two!” recognizes the team spirit between the Ensemble Theatre and the MFAH and also includes the Ensemble Theatre’s virtual work I, Too, Am America.
My Journey with Flamenco
See the different styles of flamenco, a form of Spanish song and dance based on the music traditions of southern Spain from the 9th to 14th centuries. These videos’ leading role is Ana María Barceló and the founders of Houston flamenco performance company Solero Flamenco: Jeremías García and Irma La Paloma. The show Glory of Spain: Treasures from the Hispanic Society Museum & Library provides the inspiration (启发).
