Project Row Houses Celebrates Round 49 Penumbras: Sacred Geometries Closing

Project Row Houses (PRH) will celebrate the closing of Round 49: Penumbras: Sacred Geometries with a party on Sunday, June 9, 2019. In keeping with the Round theme, the closing party will feature live music from a Latin Jazz band, as well as street food and drinks inspired by the Afro-Latin Diaspora. Third Ward chef Shakti Baum of Etta’s Kitchen will be leading culinary efforts for the event.

Round 49 was co-curated by PRH Curator and Programs Director Ryan N. Dennis and cultural practitioner William Cordova. The Round explores the ideology of sacred geometries to form structures and landscapes that allude to the body, intent and consciousness. Curated in connection with the Latino Art Now! Conference, the Round 49 installations brought attention to Houston’s Afro-Latino diaspora.

Exhibiting artists include: Yanira Collado (Dominican Republic), Leticia Contreras (Afromexican), Aramis O’Reilly (Cuba), Charo Oquet (Dominican Republic), Onajide Shabaka (United States), Juana Valdez (Cuba). In conjunction with Round 49, MacArthur genius grant recipient Okwui Okpokwasili and Peter Born utilized one of the Art Houses for their installation titled Sitting on a Man’s Head.
