Please Note: The HCCC building is currently closed for repairs due to Hurricane Beryl, so this event will take place outdoors.

Inspired by La Fuente del Deseo, a solo exhibition by Georgina Treviño that transports viewers to the vibrant norteño culture of the Mexico-U.S. border, Houston Center for Contemporary Craft is pleased to present a special one-night concert with Las Fenix. Las Fenix is an all-female norteño band featuring five sisters from Houston, Texas. The group has made their mark on a traditionally male-dominated genre with high-energy live performances and a singular sound that brings a contemporary pop valence to traditional Mexican cumbia and norteño sounds. The band has toured extensively in Mexico and the U.S., performing at venues including Los Angeles Dodgers Stadium and acting as musical representatives of the “Don’t Mess With Texas” campaign.

From creating custom jewelry for celebrities like Rosalía, Karol G, and Lady Gaga to nameplate necklace-inspired swings emblazoned with norteño song lyrics, Georgina Treviño makes music an integral part of her artistic practice. Experience her exhibition through the lens of music in this special program, which is generously supported by the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts and Advocates of a Latino Museum of Cultural and Visual Arts & Archive Complex in Houston, Harris County (ALMAAHH).

Reception in the garden begins at 6:15 PM, and the performance begins at 7 PM. Before the show, refreshments will be available, with beer generously sponsored by Equal Parts Brewing, and visitors will have the opportunity to meet Georgina Treviño in person and buy customized exhibition merchandise. Limited seating will be available during the concert.
