CURRENT EXHIBITIONS

Art League Houston is pleased to announce the opening of We the People, a multimedia photography and video installation by Delilah Montoya, Soody Sharifi, and Orlando Lara, October 31- December 27, 2008. This timely exhibition was created in order to explore the relationship of two ethnic minorities, Moslem and Hispanic Americans, to the current US political landscape, and to give voice to these Americans who are often negatively misrepresented in the media.

Art League Houston is pleased to announce the opening of Tête-á-Tête, an exhibition of works by artists Anila Quayyum Agha and Lisa Qualls. Both Agha and Qualls are known for work that is both multilayered in context and materials.

For the exhibition, Houstonian Lisa Qualls has created a series of drawings, mixed media works and sculptures, in which she overlays and combines text, pattern, imagery and form drawn from historical, cultural and text sources. Her work speaks of the transience of peoples and how the shifting and intermingling of populations have alte red the collective cultural identities of societies.

A native of Pakistan, Anila Quayyum Agha recently moved from Houston to Indianapolis, Indiana to teach at the Herron School of Art and Design. In her work, Agha uses textile processes, such as dyes, wax resist, and embroidery to create drawings that explore how social and gender-based issues result from the concepts constructed by history, traditions, and contemporary society.
