Opening Reception: UH School of Art Annual Student Exhibition

2023 UH School of Art Annual Student Exhibition


April 14—30, 2023


Every spring this popular exhibition introduces the University of Houston campus and Houston audiences to the work of School of Art undergraduate seniors and first- and second-year graduate students. The show features works selected by School of Art faculty in consultation with student artists. More than 100 UH artists will present works during this exhibition—which has long served as a way to introduce rising artists to local patrons and provides students with the experience of presenting works in a professional museum.

ENGINEERING THROUGH ADVERSITY: STORIES OF IDENTITY & RESILIENCE, Blaffer Art Museum
Engineering Through Adversity: Capturing Stories of Identities and Resilience

In October 2023, the Henderson Research Group held an exhibition at the Blaffer Art Museum. The exhibition featured research which occurred over the span of 24 months. Two photovoice research studies were on view along with a compiled series of photographs from students which explored engineering experiences and identities.

In this exhibit, Lupita Herrera and Dr. Jerrod A. Henderson curated a set of images submitted by study participants, accompanied by their quotes and chosen pseudonyms.
