Fútbol season comes to the MFAH. As part of the Monday Night Fútbol (MNF) series, artist Betirri introduces screenings of two World Cup documentaries with a brief talk about the intersection of art and sports. Betirri creates a cultural dialogue between these two forces as he discusses the relevancy of Houston as a host of this international cultural event.

  • February 12 | Two Billion Hearts, about Brazil vs. Italy in the 1994 World Cup
  • March 19Seven Games from Glory, about Japan vs. Korea in the 2002 World Cup
