The Witness Series 2025

The Witness Series is Artist Led, Nature Centered and Community Driven.  It is led by , Houston-based multi-disciplinary artist and education advocate.  As a part of her 2025 Bayou Artist in Residency, the 2025 Witness Series will be expanded from 4 parts to an 8-part series.  This year’s Witness Series will explore the many profound experiences that Communities of Color have in the Land of Southeast Texas and along Houston’s Buffalo Bayou.   The Witness Series is co-curated in partnership with artists from the Native American, African American, Latinx, Pacific Islander and Asian communities.  Every Witness experience is designed to bring communities together through the power of nature and provide historically under-served communities with greater access to nature-based opportunities.  Attendees become co-authors, editors and observers as they take part in these participatory public art experiences centered around green spaces and environmental equity.

The Witness Series will again be captured by artist , as she participates in events part 1, 2 and 3.  Joe Robles IV  will capture the Witness Series Part 4.  Through their art, we will be able to experience the power of community building and making in green spaces.
