“The Messenger” Screening at Discovery Green

Inspired by Paloma Sponsored by PNC Bank, Houston Audubon and Discovery Green present a screening of* *The Messenger (2015, 89 min), a documentary by filmmaker Su Rynard that explores humanity's deep connection to birds and the effects man-made hazards have had on their populations. Paloma Sponsored by PNC Bank is a temporary, site-specific public art installation in two parts: Paloma, created by French creative studio Pitaya, is a series of 200 colorful, illuminated aluminum “origami” birds suspended from the canopy along Discovery Green’s Brown Promenade, and Here and Now by Houston-based artist Lina Dib, is a choreographed sound installation that dances the sculptures to create an immersive and contemplative experience beneath the park’s century-old live oaks.
