Hello, I am Henry G. Sanchez, a Houston based interdisciplinary and social practice artist. My major long-term socially engaged art projects concentrate on social and environmental justice, and the natural sciences.

SOCIAL PRACTICE PROJECTS
The BioArt Bayou-torium a bilingual, socially engaged bio-art project. In 2019 he created this art studio-science laboratory housed in a shipment container along Houston’s Buffalo Bayou. The Bayou-torium’s mission is to foster stewardship of Houston's Bayous from residents of Houston’s Hispanic East End neighborhoods.
From 2015 till 2022 Law Office Center for Citizenship and Art (L.O.C.C.A.) was social practice platform for artists and social justice activists to collaborate on art projects and events addressing issues confronting the Latino/a/x, Hispanic and Mexican-American community, while celebrating and strengthening the Hispanic artistic/creative presence in Houston.
The ENGLISH KILLS PROJECT (Brooklyn, New York), is a socially engaged, bio-art project that proposed community-based bio-remediation strategies to mitigate a Superfund site called Newtown Creek. The ENGLISH KILLS PROJECT collaborated with the biologist Dr. Sarah Durand (associate professor La Guradia City University of New York), the Newtown Creek Alliance and the North Brooklyn Boat Club.
