"The highly desirable state of realness is also a cycle of constant change and occasional heartbreak. From awareness to disillusionment and back again, with an overarching goal of remaining present.” Rachel Rossin It's unreal that there's only one month left to see the transformative "Haha Real" art installation in the Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern! This truly unique journey to find a state of "realness" through light and sound is a surreal experience you will not soon forget. We are also thrilled to be hosting a special performance with Frewuhn, Houston musician and creator of the soundscape for "Haha Real," on November 3. Learn more and join us: https://lnkd.in/eZbMQKKr https://ow.ly/kAil50TMGjF Houston Chronicle -------------------- “Haha Real” is created by Rachel Rossin and Frewuhn, commissioned and presented by Buffalo Bayou Partnership. It is produced by Julia Simpson with technical production and lighting design by Robert Ruth. Install by Kelly O'Brien and Fenris.

This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, and every day, we take time to honor the history of our region. Each fall, BBP partners with present day culture bearers who help guide our work and connect us to our collective past. The land and waterway BBP stewards are part of the traditional, unceded territory of the Atakapa-Ishak, Carrizo/Comecrudo, Coahuiltecan, Karankawa, and Sana Peoples, who have lived and built community on this land for millennia. We also honor all Indigenous Peoples who have shared and continue to share this region, including the Akokisa, Alabama-Coushatta, Bidai, Mascogo, and Tonkawa, among many others. We share gratitude for the opportunity to learn and grow alongside these resilient communities. We hope you take time today to honor the Indigenous history of our area and the rich cultural heritages that are preserved and thriving today.

We are proud to announce the completion and grand opening of Lockwood on Buffalo Bayou, a dynamic affordable community situated along the bayou, just minutes from downtown Houston. This four-story development features 80-units with 1- to 3-bedroom layouts and was brought to life in partnership with Brinshore Development, LLC and the Buffalo Bayou Partnership. Located in the heart of Houston’s vibrant Historic East End, this community seamlessly combines contemporary design with nature-inspired finishes and showcases original art by a local artist. During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, attendees enjoyed exclusive tours of the property, including a special walkthrough led by the mural artist. The celebration also featured a performance by Milby High School’s marching band. Lockwood on Buffalo Bayou exemplifies our vision of creating vibrant spaces that connect and engage the community.

Happy World Habitat Day, bayou friends! 🌿 Every day, the Buffalo Bayou Partnership team is hard at work stewarding the green spaces and trails our fellow human, flora, and fauna friends love and rely on. Today, we want to honor World Habitat Day by highlighting one of our unique public art projects - the Buffalo Bayou Invasive Plant Eradication Unit! Artist Mark Dion created the mobile educational piece to raise awareness about the importance of native plant species in preserving our regional ecologies, and draw attention to common invasive species that pose a threat to the health of our ecosystems. Check out the Invasive Plant Eradication Unit in person at the 2024 KBR Kids Day on October 19! Bring your family to a day of free fall fun in the park and learn more about the plants and animals that call our urban waterway home.
