About Where We Find Ourselves Where We Find Ourselves is a multi-disciplinary investigation into memory, place, and Black perception across generations, centering the historic neighborhood of Freedmen’s Town in Houston. Through photography, film, architectural modeling, and installation, artist Satchel Lee brings a forensic intimacy to the project, placing the South, and specifically Freedmen’s Town, under a microscope. Lee reveals the physical remnants of a once self-sustaining Black community founded by formerly enslaved people and the brilliance embedded in its spatial and spiritual architecture. Installed in a restored Freedmen’s Town row house, the exhibition culminates in an immersive space reflecting domestic familiarity and sacred ritual, inviting visitors to perceive the neighborhood’s history and present anew.
