FRESH ARTS SCENE
ENDING THE YEAR ON A HIGH NOTE WITH THIS MONTH’S FRESH ART SCENE

UNSILENT NIGHT | Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts
Thursday, December 10, 6pm reception, 7pm promenade
Join the Mitchell Center, in collaboration with Buffalo Bayou Partnership, for a free interactive holiday event, Unsilent Night. New York composer Phil Kline created this 43minute piece, written specifically to be heard outdoors in the month of December.
Unsilent Night is a sound sculpture created when many individuals simultaneously play
one of four tracks on their smartphone, boomboxes or mp3 players. Make sure to bring
your cell phone fully charged, dress warmly and wear comfortable shoes. The event
will take place at the Water Works at Buffalo Bayou, 105 Sabine St. The event is free.

LAS ULTIMAS LIVE | Fresh Arts
Opening and Performance Friday, December 11, 6–8pm
Half screening and half filmed live before a studio audience, Las Ultimas is an
identity work-based installation set up like a silly super-hero sitcom satire aimed to
explore the trappings of third-wave feminism where the audience gets to decide
the outcome live. All Female Super Squad Las Ultimas (Frida Kahlo, La Virgen de
Vigilante and Sister Rolla) get more than they bargained for when they rush to
“save” a young teen girl on the verge of succumbing to La Peccado Pecoso (the
hot sin). For more information, visit www.fresharts.org.
