Mutable Land presents artists exploring “Texas” land: how humans change land and the people living on it, focusing on shifting borders, colonization, migration, militarization, gender, and tradition.
Like Governors Island, South Texas carries storied, militarized histories featuring shifting casts of nations vying for control, waging war and redrawing lines on land regardless of people living on it.
Exhibited artists probe experiences of existence in such contested space, throughout history and today, from the battle of the Alamo and forced Indigenous assimilation to contemporary migration experiences and queer life in border towns.
