Opening Reception | The Last Sky: Memory Drift II

  • Sabine Street Studios 1907 Sabine Street Houston, TX, 77007 United States (map)

The Last Sky: Memory Drift centers ephemeral spaces where histories, memories, and stories coalesce—echoing Mahmoud Darwish's imagery of a world closing in and Edward Said's contemplations on identity and exile. This gathering of works constructs a mosaic of remembrance and transformation. Through pieces that function as monuments, these artists explore the fragmented landscapes of their pasts, stitching together cultural remnants to form new, evolving legacies. Some works draw from recurring cultural symbols and myths, grounding timeless narratives in contemporary expressions. Others reclaim stories often overshadowed or forgotten, imbuing the ephemeral with permanence. Together, they reframe cultural memory not as static inheritance but as dynamic acts of making, remaking, and remembering.

The exhibition is split between the North Gallery at Sabine Street Studios, and the Winter Street Gallery at Winter Street Studios.
