WHEN: Friday 7:00pm
WHERE: Winston Contemporary Arts, 2426 Bartlett St. Suite , Houston, TX 77098, Get Directions >
COST: Admission is free
DETAILS: "Alignment" explores the migration story of an Afro-Brazilian, immigrant artist struggling to find belonging in the United States – the emotion work of migration, feeling suffocated and contorted, forced to re-shape himself in order to be seen and understood in this country. Featuring all new works created for this presentation, including site-specific installation and performance, and mixed-media paintings, Ibraim Nascimento tells us his story of migration through the experience of, what he calls, alignment or alinhamento. To align is to arrange in a straight line, to correct or reposition. Through culture we are constantly in a process of alignment, but can we break free? Who are we and what do we look like after years of alignment? Are we deformed? Are we renewed? Are we still ourselves?
Following the opening day, the exhibit will be on display until February 29.

Foto Relevance presents Jane Szabo: "Somewhere Else" opening reception
WHEN: Saturday 6:00pm
WHERE: Foto Relevance, 616 Hawthorne St, Houston, TX 77006, Get Directions >
COST: Admission is free
DETAILS: "Somewhere Else" by Jane Szabo explores a yearning for a home or a sense of place that one cannot return to, no longer exists, or maybe never was. Throughout the series, hand-constructed homes are covered in a wide array of maps and photographed in natural settings and within architectural interiors. The maps that surface these homes do not reflect the location of the image, but are instead evocative of locations once explored or longed for, as well as the literal and spiritual journey of life itself. Both dream state and inner search, the series takes the artist and the viewer on a provocative path of escape and wonder.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display until February 28.
