About

The Really Small Museum is a (really small) exhibition concept founded in 2021 to spark inspiration, conversation and connection. Just as the Earth and its ecosystems thrive on diversity, this POINT B Museum embraces the idea that to move from Point A to Point B in climate resilience, we must elevate and listen to diverse voices.

AUGUST FEATURED ARTIST: TSBVI Cohort: Performer: Kailee Martin, Composer: Eva Van Houten, Producer: Lacey Lewis

The Texas Song Bird Song is an inclusive eco-education and music project created in collaboration with elementary students at the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired (TSBVI). Rooted in the melodies of birds that call Texas home, the project invited students to explore birding through listening and other sensory experiences. With support from a birding expert, students learned how to identify birds by ear, use mnemonics to mimic bird calls, and explore nature in accessible, inclusive ways—drawing inspiration from organizations like Birdability.

Timed with Texas’s fall bird migration, which peaks from late August through November, the project celebrates the arrival of the birds and the rich soundscape they bring with them. Students selected four bird calls to include in an original song.

The Texas Song Bird Song features student vocals, real bird call recordings, and simple musical storytelling. Performed by Kailee Martin, written by Eva Van Houten, and produced by Lacey Lewis. The song celebrates Texas wildlife, the creative contributions of students, and encourages all of us to listen more closely to the sounds of the world around us.
