Human Nature, April 3-May 10
April 16, 2009 by A. Onesauce
These days it seems that everyone’s talking about the state of the world around us. People are “going green” or taking time to examine the way they treat the earth. Not to be left behind, the Houston Center for Photography will be hosting Human Nature for the following month. Human Nature is a collaborative exhibition between several photographers from all over the world, each displaying a series of photos demonstrative of the dynamics of human infringement on the natural world. Additionally, there is also a section dedicated to local student participation in this project. Young artists from high schools all over Houston have also submitted their work in answer to this theme. Collectively these photos form a fascinating mosaic.
Furthermore, on Friday, April 17 and Friday, May 1 at 7 p.m. there will be a film screening relating to the thesis of the “Human Nature” exhibition. On the alternating Thursdays, April 23 and May 7, also at 7 p.m., the HCP hosts “partner potlucks,” where, for a donation of canned food, one can enjoy food, drinks, artist talks and discussion sessions for local non-profit organizations. All donations benefit Loaves and Fishes, an organization providing free meals to families in need nationwide. The HCP is located at 1441 West Alabama St. Check them out at www.hcponline.org
