The Bass Announces New Exhibitions and Programs in Miami Beach
The Bass Museum of Art in Miami Beach has announced a new exhibition by Mexico City–based duo Pedro y Juana, expanded family programming, and ongoing exhibitions by artists Sarah Zapata and Yuko Mohri.
Pedro y Juana Exhibition Opens October 28
Pedro y Juana will debut the exhibition "Aquí" at The Bass on October 28. Conceived as a world within a world, the project is inspired by Miami Beach and its shared subtropical character with the artists’ home city of Mexico City.
The exhibition uses a multidisciplinary and participatory approach, combining color, media, texture, and shape to build immersive interiors. Drawing on the visual language of historical panoramas, the installation surrounds visitors with bespoke objects and a constructed environment that encourages close interaction.
"Pedro y Juana: Aquí" is organized by Associate Curator Jasa McKenzie. The Bass has published additional details and visitor information, which can be found on the exhibition page.
Family Day and Bass Babies Programs
The museum is hosting a Family Day program titled "Masked Marvels & Miami City Ballet" on Sunday, October 25, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Creativity Center. Admission is free for visitors attending with children.
During the event, participants can create masks and characters inspired by Gabriel Rico’s "IX Mural from the series–Reducción objectiva orquestada" and take part in an Explore Dance Community Class led by a Miami City Ballet teaching artist. The class is open to all ages and experience levels and focuses on creative movement and collaborative participation.
Complimentary registration for the Family Day program is available through The Bass website.
The Bass has also relaunched its "Bass Babies" program for children ages 2 to 4 and their caregivers, running on Thursdays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. through November 21 at the Creativity Center.
Each weekly session introduces colors, shapes, patterns, numbers, and letters through hands-on art activities that emphasize sensory discovery and early literacy. Led by teaching artist Paloma Dueñas, the program combines visual art and music to introduce basic artistic concepts for toddlers.
Classes are priced at $20 per session for museum members at the Family/Dual level and above, and $25 for non-members. Registration information and scheduling details are available on the Bass Babies page.
Sarah Zapata Textile Installation on View
"Against A State of Malevolence" by artist Sarah Zapata is now on view at The Bass through February 28, 2027. The exhibition features immersive textile environments that use color, texture, scale, and movement to transform gallery space.
Zapata draws on weaving traditions, architecture, queer identity, and Peruvian heritage to create large-scale works that visitors can move around and through. The installations employ weaving, tufting, and sewing techniques to present textiles as sculptural and emotional objects.
Further information on the exhibition and its run at The Bass is provided on the museum’s website.
Yuko Mohri Exhibition Explores Imperfect Systems
The Bass is presenting "Unviolated Imperfection," the first solo exhibition in a United States museum by Tokyo-based artist Yuko Mohri, on view through May 30, 2027.
Spanning three galleries, the exhibition examines imperfect compositions through installations that connect nature and technology, improvisation and kinetics, and chance and sound. Works from the series "Decomposition," "Moré Moré (Leaky)," and "Piano Solo" reveal hidden systems that link people, objects, and environments.
Details about "Unviolated Imperfection" and related programming at The Bass are available on the exhibition page.
