Texas Biennial 2024

The Last Sky

The Land of Spirit Waters banners at the eighth Texas Biennial — Blaffer Art Museum, Houston.

Exhibition Overview

Essentials Creative was selected through open call for The Last Sky, the eighth edition of the Texas Biennial, at Blaffer Art Museum, University of Houston — on view September 27, 2024 through March 9, 2025.

The banners of the Land of Spirit Waters series, first hung in the trees at Yanaguana Garden, moved indoors for the Biennial — moon panther, sun bird, and spirit figures on the museum’s white walls.
