GROUP PORTRAIT OF JUST A FEW OF THE SNOW PEOPLE WHO ARE
ON A WAITING LIST TO COME TO EARTH FOR THIS INTERGALACTIC
EXCHANGE PROGRAM.

With the help of a grant from the Idea Fund and the Idea Fund Partners: The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Aurora Picture Show, Diverse Works and Project Row Houses, six Snow peoples will arrive to earth in the form of puppets designed by JooYoung Choi. 

Puppets and snow people both rely on human imagination to exist, without the attention of viewers puppets become heaps of fabric, and snowmen become piles of snow.  Choi will create a collaborative interactive project with a unique set of Snow People puppets that will be distributed to six Houstonians who will be their caretakers for the summer. Through the construction and distribution of snow puppets, this project will explore how imaginative play objects can enhance our lives.Each of these Snow People puppets will get live with a host family here in Houston for one week.
