HOUSTON – Hundreds of people came together for an interactive art show, highlighting Houston’s rich diversity.
Local non-profit UniPro Texas hosted its fourth annual storytelling event Lumikhâ Arts Showcase. In Filipino, the word “Lumikhâ” means “create.” Dozens of artists from all walks of life, co-created this immersive experience to build community and share their stories. Artists, dancers, writers, muralists, singers, even architects, brought their unique perspectives to life. This year’s theme was “We Are Rising.” Organizers said this interactive experience hopes to bring people together, showcasing the healing power of creativity and storytelling - especially after the pandemic.
