The Contemporary Arts Museum Houston presents the exhibition Whispering Bayou. Opening Reception Friday, July 31, 6:30pm-9pm. On view August 1 – November 1, 2015.
Whispering Bayou is an immersive multi-media installation that will feature moving images and a soundscape comprised of the voices and images of the diverse communities living in and around Brays Bayou.
The installation is comprised of three large-scale projections that will stream both sourced and newly created video. The soundscape is composed of found sound and the voices of Houstonians who participated in online and in-person interviews about their lives in this ever-evolving city.
The installation is a collaboration between Houston-based filmmaker, digital artist, and community activist, Carroll Parrott Blue; French composer and video artist, Jean-Baptiste Barrieré; and scholar and improvisational-jazz trombonist, George E. Lewis.
Whispering Bayou is designed to bring awareness to the bayou, its past and its present, as well as its expansive eco-systems that range from wildlife to Houston’s vibrant cosmopolitan communities.
