Where Do We Go From Here?

February 17 - July 02,2023

From Contemporary Arts Museum Houston: "Contemporary Arts Museum Houston’s (CAMH) Teen Council is excited to present their 13th biennial exhibition, Where Do We Go From Here? The exhibition will be on view February 17–July 2, 2023 in CAMH’s lower-level Nina and Michael Zilkha Gallery. Featuring work by 25 teen artists, Where Do We Go From Here? looks at moments of transformation and metamorphosis within each participating artist’s work. The exhibition’s title was posed as a question to over 100 young artists from across Houston through an open call. The resulting artworks—ranging from painted collage to abstract sculpture—disrupt societal norms and boldly confront challenging topics through the lens of change ranging from recent sociopolitical upheaval to personal rebirth." The works included in this exhibition reflect varying and diverse lived experiences and emphasize that identity is never stagnant nor singular. It shifts as a result of various catalysts, including pandemic isolation, bodily changes, and pressure to define oneself. Each tribulation defines an arc, taking these transformative experiences and making something new. Today’s youth have taken differing approaches to move forward. Whether collecting ephemera, meditating on people and fragments of lost identity, or shedding younger skin, momentum is critical. Pushing back against stagnation, these artists bear their own weight through new independence as they face their futures. Where Do We Go From Here? is organized by Contemporary Arts Museum Houston’s Teen Council. The exhibition will have a public opening reception on Thursday, February 16, 2023 from 7–9PM."
