Chroma Collective by Karen Navarro

Commissioned by Discovery Green Conservancy as part of the inaugural Art Lab program, Chroma Collective blends two-dimensional imagery with three-dimensional sculpture and mirrored surfaces that invites the public to interact and contribute to its dynamic, shifting tapestry.

Inspired by Navarro’s journey as an immigrant of Latin American, European and Indigenous descent, Chroma Collective represents the fluidity of identity while reflecting the environment and the people who engage with the work. Its location in Discovery Green – a 12-acre oasis in the heart of the city – highlights how Houston’s diversity creates opportunities to celebrate individuality while cultivating collective action for a more equitable society.

Art Lab was co-created and co-curated by Discovery Green Conservancy and Weingarten Art Group.
