The Installation

Each installation associated with WINTER CELEBRATIONS utilized photos, videos, audio interviews and objects to evoke the vibrant, encompassing and participatory character of these community-based events. Catholics the world over venerate the Virgin of Guadalupe, but she is especially revered by individuals of Mexican descent. Celebrating the Feast Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe attempted to capture the tangible and intangible substance of that adoration among this group of Houstonians. In addition, public programs featuring the tradition bearers who shared their skill, knowledge and expertise were presented as part of the installation.
