Reclaiming Truth, Reimagining Freedom: Houston Artists Honor 160 Years of Juneteenth Through Dance, Poetry, and Visual Art

Houston is home to a rich tapestry of cultural expression, and this Juneteenth, three trailblazing local voices are using art to amplify the power of remembrance, resistance, and rebirth. In a compelling convergence of movement, poetry, and visual storytelling, the BIPOC Arts Network and Fund (BANF) proudly presents two major events that redefine how we honor Black legacy: The Official Juneteenth Homecoming by Nia’s Daughters Movement Collective, in partnership with Nia Cultural Center, and the world premiere of A Voice Within, a poetic opera created by writer Deborah D.E.E.P. Mouton and composer Joel Thompson, presented by the Houston Grand Opera.
