Bismark Alejandro Reyes
Born in Houston, Texas and also raised in San Nicolas de Los Garza, Nuevo Leon, Mexico.
A self-taught multidisciplinary artist and studying Architecture at Prairie View A&M University.

“To begin, I must say I am a creative person. I see it all around from a pattern on a tree to the outline of the sky. Always with a sketchbook in hand, being the only companion that has no judgement and accepts my inquietudes and imaginations. This, becoming a way of seeing, observing and creating a way of life.
I am currently returning from a journey across Mexico where I got to experience my roots more deeply and connect with people. Thus broadening my understanding of where I come from, walking ancient Mayan paths on a discovery of the self.
At this moment I am becoming a more established artist and I hope we can collaborate to make something special, as my pure intentions are to express and share an experience.”

1999: Sombra y Santos viven en un extraño limbo desde que estalló la huelga de la UNAM. Sin saber qué lado tomar, sin escuela, sin propósito, los amigos inventan extrañas maneras de matarel tiempo. Pero su rutina es interrumpida con la llegada inesperada de Tomás, el hermano menor de Sombra. Tomás descubre que su héroe, Epigmenio Cruz, un mítico cantante de los años sesenta, agoniza en algún hospital recóndito y convence a Sombra y a Santos de ir a rendirle homenaje. La búsqueda de Epigmenio se convierte en un viaje de tres días atravesando las fronteras invisibles de la Ciudad de México.

Set in 1999 against a backdrop of student protests, Güeros is a road movie that becomes a voyage of discovery for three rootless young people seeking to bridge the gap between aimlessness and social purpose.

Nela Garzon Art Exhibition @ Institute of Hispanic Culture of Houston

Tickets

Nov 2 2020 – Jan 3 2021 all-day

Made in China

Through three different artistic disciplines, such as fiber art, sculpture and painting, Nela Garzón questions the mercantile and disposable paradigm of objects in conflict with cultural identities.

“The body of work produced for this project inquires about the wide effects of consumerism and mass production and comments on the loss of cultural identity in the hands of globalization and industrialization. This global problem supported by us (consumers), besides devastating the environment, affects everyone but mostly minorities who have been maintaining the cultural heritage and diversity of the world alive.”

Entry allowed only for people with prior reservation.
Please do not attend if you have symptoms.
Visitors should wear a face covering/face mask inside the building.
Temperature Check Procedure.

Cynthia Isakson Art Exhibition @ Institute of Hispanic Culture of Houston

Tickets

Family Overlap
When I open my eyes I photograph them; when I close my eyes, I listen to them
For 25 years I looked at them, I portrayed them, I captured them, in order to keep them forever. Immigrating and maintaining close relationships seemed to be two incompatible concepts. But they turned out not to be.
I watch them hanging on my walls and listen to their recorded voices, our conversations. And suddenly the language, what they say, no longer matters. It doesn’t matter if they look at me. It doesn’t matter if they are no longer here.
It’s about that feeling that you get when you close your eyes and you don’t see them anymore, you feel them…

My project includes between 20 and 25 portraits and an audio file looped in speakers placed in the four corners of the exhibit room. The pictures are printed on 18 x 24 in giclee paper.
The chief concept of the project highlights the relevance of family and culture in spite of the meaningful change resulting from immigration. Evidently, such a project resonates with the mission of the IHCH.
