Kristi Rangel:
Witness Series

 

For BBP’s 2025 Artist Residency, artist Kristi Rangel will bring her Witness Series to life along Buffalo Bayou East, curating immersive and impactful experiences. This series is designed to unite communities through the transformative power of nature, focusing on providing Fifth Ward and East End residents with increased access to nature-based opportunities. Through a variety of participatory activities, guests will explore the bayou’s rich history, engage with its natural elements, and reflect on themes of environmental equity.

By blending art, nature, and community, Rangel’s residency aims to inspire a deeper connection to the environment and foster a sense of shared stewardship.
