GUST: Celebrating a Decade of Discovery Now – May 28, 2019 (extended)

The Discovery Green Conservancy commissioned this interactive site-specific art installation from Cocolab, a Mexico City-based studio of digital artists. The work brings to life the invisible patterns of the wind with the vivid color and subtle motion of nearly 2,000 handmade pinwheels. From 5–10 p.m. daily, visitors are invited to approach one of four “activation stations” along the park’s Brown Foundation Promenade and blow on a pinwheel to “become the wind.” At dusk, GUST is illuminated by patterns of light that respond in real time to the changing direction of the breeze.

Cinco de Mayo Sunday, May 5, 2019, 3–5 p.m.

Celebrate Cinco de Mayo at Discovery Green with the Kinder HSPVA Mariachis (4:15 p.m.), ballet folklorico by Nueva Luna and more performances. Bombón’s La Comadre (Mel Gomez) and DJ Gracie Chavez will emcee.

If you just want to watch all the action rather than be in the midst of it, residents can relax on their balconies that overlook Discovery Green or head to the 8th Floor Resident Lounge to watch from above. Invite your friends and mix your own margaritas from the comfort of your Houston high rise.
