About “Trace” exhibition:

Israel Mccloud and Ayanna Jolivet Mccloud recall local historic, Black sites that are no longer or that have been forgotten in our newest exhibit, Trace. The Artwork in this exhibition brings visibility to these cultural sites in an attempt to recall the vital histories, memories and impact of Black life in Houston. Trace builds on the creative practices of the Mcclouds (father and daughter); he, as a muralist, sign painter and multidisciplinary artist working in various neighborhoods; and she, as an installation artist creating site-specific land installation and maps. The exhibition will include collages of local landscapes of African-American histories; paintings centering on language as it relates to neighborhoods and poetry, among other works of art.
