Each month, Black Swan Yoga gathers at Art Club to move through a different chakra - one color, one energy center, one intention at a time. This monthly yoga series blends mindful flow, breath, and subtle body awareness in Houston's new media art museum to inspire connection and creativity. Come as you are, leave more aligned.

This class will be led by Leticia Contreras.

Exhibit: Here and Now

Artist: Lina Dib and Taylor Knapps

Zugunruhe is a German term used to describe the restlessness animals exhibit when compelled to migrate. This new iteration of Here and Now reflects on this instinctive urge to move and expands the installation into a choreography of light and sound. Here and Now, is about resilience, referencing and features birds that migrate through East Texas and other parts of the world and how they’ve adapted to humanity’s environmental impact. It gestures to global connections across vast distances.

‍

The compositions that make up this piece include a call and response in the form of bird sounds made by human immigrants to Houston. The musical components are built through granular synthesis, using small fragments—or grains—of these recorded bird calls to form new tonal instruments. These patterns then modulate the light, height, and blooming of the kinetic flower sculptures.

‍

Here and Now points to Houston’s diversity and highlights the various ways that life on ear this marked by, and even sustained by, movement.

‍

Tickets to this event also grant you full access to all of Art Club's Museum Exhibits prior to the Yoga Class.
