Sound Art & Activism at Buffalo Bayou Partnership

Join us for Underground Sounds, a unique music series in the Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern!

This year, the series features national and international artists performing compositions inspired by the vast, unique architecture of the Cistern and arranged especially for its extraordinary natural acoustics.

About This Program Les Cenelles will perform Echo Chamber: Resistance and Reverb, a spatialized composition exploring the theme of water rights and activism, inspired by movements from Flint and the Water Protectors in the North to the Gulf South’s water infrastructure in New Orleans and Houston. Utilizing a multi-channel sound installation, the performance immerses audiences in a soundscape that resonates within the historic Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern. Complemented by liner notes detailing the performance’s thematic connections and sounds, Echo Chamber connects Houston’s unique water narrative to global cities like Istanbul, Rome, and New York, offering a powerful reflection on water as both a resource and a politicized force.

Cost $25 per person
