THIS WAY: A Houston Group Show showcases new work from Black artists who are invited to examine innovative ways of participating in the storytelling of their legacy and heritage of Houston Freedmen’s Town.

Each artist in THIS WAY: A Houston Group Show has demonstrated unique approaches that have inspired the momentum of Houston’s Black art community since 2020, distinctly connecting Black millennials and Gen Z artists and audiences. The artists will center their work around the histories and present realities of the historic Houston Freedmen’s Town. To support their innovative works, artists were paired with research fellows who will assist their navigation of the historic archives at the African American History Research Center at the Gregory School in Freedmen’s Town containing ephemera, images and information resources. This demonstration of collaborative efforts through innovative practice and historical research aims to inspire current and future generations for a new way to share Black histories in Houston, Texas.
