Rick Lowe, artist and community organizer, takes us to his home in the 3rd ward of Houston, Texas.
Enjoy episode 2 of the National Gallery of Art’s documentary series West to East: “From West to East: Mapping the Unknown”
Lowe moved there in the 1980s and spent 30 years combining art and activism in his community platform Project Row Houses.
Now, as he moves into a new phase of his career, creating paintings inspired by maps, dominoes, and a quest for aesthetic beauty, Rick and his community partners work together to “map the unknown” future.
Rick’s artistic career highlights how art, community and activism can inform and elevate each other.
Watch Rick Lowe’s unique way of making meaning, mentorship, and masterpieces happen all at once.
