Houston-based artist Allison Hunter is a self-described “signmaker” who uses her art to draw attention to the simultaneous vitality and vulnerability of animals, punctuated by the all-too-common human desire to rule over them. Often working with installations of photography and video projections, she taps into the power of empathy to question our dominion.

Currently, Hunter is in the midst of realizing Video Bomb Houston, a series of new five-minute long video works in a two-hour loop, created specifically for abandoned buildings throughout the city. Hunter finds the sites through word of mouth and exploration, meeting with community leaders, attending events to get to know residents, and getting feedback on her project ideas. “I’ve been in the art community here for 12 years,” says Hunter. “There is a huge crossover between folks who support the arts and folks concerned with Houston’s underserved neighborhoods.” Current dates for Video Bomb Houston July 6th, July 20th, August 3rd and August 17th.
