This Houston-based, partner-organized All Together Session brings all Convening attendees together for a shared experience: highlighting overlapping cultural narratives as framed by artists and arts organizers from across the 640 square miles that make up the city of Houston, TX. Invited participants will engage with common keywords used to describe simultaneously diverging and intertwining community issues, while voicing concerns that are often left unsaid on these local topics. The program will include visual, sound and language components that serve to ground Common Field participants in the context of the city and create a platform for further discussion about the cultural landscape of the initial convening site.
