The annual exhibition Eye on Houston: High
School Documentary Photography gives stu-
dents the opportunity to utilize photography as
a tool for recording their personal stories and
perspectives. This year’s exhibition – the 23rd
edition –brought more than 300 submissions
to the Museum from across the Houston area.
The diversity of and connections between
different neighborhoods become clear through
the images, with an overwhelming focus
on what the teens experienced because of
the unprecedented 2017 storm Hurricane
Harvey. The 64 photographs selected for this
presentation of Eye on Houston showcase
work by 42 junior and senior students from
various high schools in Houston. The Human Rights Art exhibition cultivates
human rights awareness, reflection and activ-
ism, showcased in 32 mixed media artworks
from the permanent collection of South Texas
College. This educational exhibition address-
ing global and regional human rights, social
justice and environmental issues features artists
Sharon Sayegh, Keith Sharp, Guadalupe
Victoria Reyes and Deborah South McEvoy.
Through their artwork and personal statements,
the artists strive to encourage reflection, and
generate discussion that ultimately leads to
change. Particle Chamber (2017) is an immersive
new installation by Leo Villareal. Utilizing
the latest projection technology to create
dynamic points of light across a hemisphere of
screens, Villareal enables visitors to encounter
an ethereal chamber of ever-moving pixels
algorithmically programmed to form infinitely
new patterns. This exhibit highlights Villareal’s
creative engagement with light, space, tech-
nology and sensory perception.
