Here are the artists Meow Wolf is collaborating with in Houston

Why it matters: Meow Wolf's collaboration with local artists for the so-called intergalactic mosaic exhibition experience ensures that it represents and reflects the community in the Houston area, GONZO247, Meow Wolf's Houston artist liaison, tells Axios.

What's happening: Meow Wolf worked with curators and leaders in the local art space — like Harrison Guy with DeLUXE Theater and Y. E. Torres with the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston — to find the Houston- and Texas-based artists who could collaborate on the new location.

What they're saying: "I think that cohort … shows who Houston is, from ethnicities to gender and the makeup of different parts of the city," GONZO247 says.

Here are some of the selected artists:

• Kill Joy, an artist and activist whose work is grounded in honoring the earth and seeking environmental and social justice.

• Havel Ruck Projects, a duo who've been making immersive art at abandoned or unused sites.
• Afsaneh Aayani, one of the few female puppeteers in the theater world in Houston.
• Trenton Doyle Hancock, an artist who weaves together comic book elements and multimedia installations.

What we're watching: When the exhibit will open and the unique theme for this installation have yet to be announced.
