Join the GreenHouse Collective at Project Row Houses as we embark upon a new series of Workshops on gardening and garden-related topics.

This Saturday, February 27th, Gary Edmondson, Urban Harvest’s Director of Education, is offering a workshop on different approaches to gardening at Project Row Houses.

This Workshop will be preceded by a GreenLunch potluck at 12:00 pm. Bring a healthy dish and join us for lunch prior to the presentation at 1:00 pm.

The GreenHouse collective began in October 2009. Initiated by Elia Arce’s project Light Green/ Dark Green, where she grew wheat grass inside of a gallery row house, and later distributed wheat grass juice shots. This project sparked the interest and various conversations about gardening, the green movement, sustainability, and health.

The GreenHouse collective was conceived to facilitate any projects and ideas that continue the gardening initiative in the Project Row Houses community.

Everyone is invited to form part of the collective.

Our current members are:
Elia Arce
Aisen Caro Chacin
Ashley Clemmer-Hoffman
Miriam Dalaei
Tamika Evans

Held in conjunction with Black History Month, this month’s film, Lords of the Revolution (VH1), was selected by the Carl B. Hampton Memorial Committee. Following the movie, Ayanna Ade and Veron (Sensei) Benton, two Houston Alumni of the Black Panther Party, will lead a discussion on the significance of this historic organization and their commitment to keep its legacy alive.

Film Synopsis: In the late 1960s, there were few radical groups more controversial that The Black Panthers. Led by the dynamic personalities of Bobby Seale, Huey Newton and Eldridge Cleaver, the Panthers boldly challenged America to deliver justice and opportunity for all. Young, armed with guns and clad with berets and leather jackets, the Panthers advocated self-defense against police brutality; initiated social service programs nationwide; and became a defiant symbol of Black Power.

Light refreshments will be served

Project Row Houses is pleased to present an evening with artist Travis Whitfield, as he shares his original video documentary chronicling the lives of rural African American residents in northwest Louisiana during the early 1970’s. The video screening will be followed by a conversation led by Station Museum Curator/Director, Jim Harithas, about Travis’s process leading up to this amazing installation and video.

Travis’s installation “Further on Down the Road,” curated by Ann Harithas, is on view at PRH in conjunction with Round 31 through Feb 28th.

States of Exchange
February 26 – April 3, 2010

States of Exchangeis a participatory “exhibition” at labotanica in which artists of all backgrounds & disciplines (visual art, music, dance, literary, as well as disciplines beyond the arts such as scientists, architects, historians, etc.) can propose and develop new artistic collaborations with other artists. labotanica will mediate the process of collaboration and present an evolving installation in which artists’ profiles will be exhibited for potential collaborations; collaborative works will be developed in the space through conversations, art installations, and performance rehearsals; and completed works will be exhibited or presented throughout the duration of the “exhibition”. States of Exchange addresses the need to provide platforms and opportunities for local artists to dialogue, create, and present new works in Houston. The need for artistic incubation in the community, and how these artistic collaborations, or “states of exchange” activate us individually and as a community. labotanica will serve as a hub, incubator and facilitator for new artistic collaborations, and new artwork in Houston, Texas.

Artists interested in presenting, send a profile (which will be posted in labotanica) including a bio, 7 images of your art, a photo of yourself, email & phone, and a sentence stating what ways you are open to collaborating to la@labotanica.org
