ART GALLERY
THE SEGUNDO BARRIO
This art gallery is a collaborative project that was initiated for SBBP 4, by The Open Door Gallery and Divine Art Coalition. Held in the Second Ward of Houston, Texas, this gallery aims to bring together the community in the East End as well as other Houstonians across the city through multi-media and interactive art.
Curated by Raquel Natalicchio and Adrianna Benavides
“MEMORIAS DEL BARRIO”
In Collaboration with the Houston Public Library
As the second curated show, “Memorias del Barrio” aimed to celebrate the rich culture and history of Segundo Barrio through storytelling and interactive art. Community members were invited to bring personal stories, family photos, and paper artifacts to help create meaningful artistic remembrances of life in Second Ward, Central Park, Magnolia Park, and beyond.
In partnership with the Houston history Research Center (HPL) and the Collective of Progressive Ecucators (COPE), items shared in the space were scanned, printed, and archives— ensuring that they become a part of Houstons historical record.
We want to give a special thank you to the featured artists who showcased alongside the community:
Victoria Armenta @victoriaartista
