Julia Barbosa Landois' Praise Music Sonogram

Julia Barbosa Landois’s Praise Music Sonogram is a live performance that combines spoken word, video, and experimental sound to tell a story of motherhood, miscarriage, and abortion access across national and state borders. Contrasting an unexpected experience in a European haven for healthcare seekers with the medical scarcity and the 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade in the U.S., Barbosa Landois delivers a narrative that is both deeply personal and unexpectedly comedic.Read more

Ethnography of Afro-Venezuelan Music

Ethnography of Afro-Venezuelan Music is a multidisciplinary educational conference that explores the expression of the rich cultural traditions of African culture and European religious practices in Venezuela, particularly focusing on how music serves as a medium for spiritual, social, and cultural expression. It differentiates Afro-Venezuelan music from the broader Afro-Latin music scene in social and religious terms and disseminates the elements that converge in the sociohistorical construction of the Afro-Venezuelan vision and its impact on the Venezuelan colonial context. 

The project, which includes videos, music, and dance, aims to strengthen ties between African American and Venezuelan communities and promote a dynamic cultural exchange. This educational-cultural activity is free for the general public. 

Ethnography of Afro-Venezuelan Music is funded in part by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance. Read more
