LOCAL Houston | The City Guide NOVEMBER 2015

ART LOS TROMPOS With summer just a fleeting memory filed in the archives of life, DISCOVERY GREEN’S latest public art installation evokes the brightness associated with those long sun-filled days. The larger than life installation, by internationally renowned Mexico City designers HECTOR ESRAWE and IGNACIO CADENA, called Los Trompos invites patrons to play. A trompo is a typical Mexican toy which translates to spinning tops. The nostalgic wooden, colored toys spin on the ground. Twenty 3D structures spin when two or more people interact with the vividly colored pieces which are woven in a traditional style used by Mexican artisans. Share your images with the #LosTromposHTX. The installation opens November 14. By Carla Valencia de Martinéz Photography by Jonathan Hillyer 36 L O C A L | november 15
