Through an array of photography-based visual languages—spanning prints, collage, installation, and found images—the works explore memory, migration, and the interplay of tradition and modernity while highlighting resilience, survival, and empowerment. Together, the artists invite contemplation on the intricate connections between the past and present, the personal and collective, and the local and global, challenging and deepening our understanding of identity in today’s world. “This exhibition gathers together diverse narratives, each reflecting unique backgrounds, journeys, and perspectives. Photography as a medium is deeply embedded in our everyday lives, and carries profound significance in this context,” says Jennifer Inacio, PAMM Curator. “Photography has long been a powerful tool for capturing and preserving realities—however different they may be. Narratives in Focus allows us to see the world through different lenses and invites viewers to engage with experiences and stories they might not be familiar with. I see this as an essential step in fostering understanding and connection across cultures and identities.” Andean artist River Claure reflects on his identity through the photographic series Warawar Wawa XII (“Son of the Stars” in Aymara) (2021), drawing on his grandparents’ migration from the Andes to the urban city of Chochamba in the 1970s. In challenging conventional, rigid perceptions of adulthood by embracing play as a means of reconciling feelings with reason, Claure recontextualizes the story of The Little Prince within contemporary Andean culture, inviting viewers to reconsider their own identities and the dynamic, evolving nature of cultural constructs. Widline Cadet ’s layered photographs in her work Sé Sou Ou Mwen Mété Espwa ma #1 (I Put All My Hopes on You #1) (2021) inserts a family snapshot of her mother and sister on a larger, ambiguous landscape, connecting memories of childhood in Haiti with her present self, after migrating to the US. The collage’s title reflects her family’s pursuit of the American Dream while the visual layering examines notions of home, land, and the construction of Black diasporic identity. This Is Where We Find Ourselves (2021), a multimedia project by Njaimeh Njie , is a visual exploration of family, history, and legacy in Pittsburgh, the artist’s hometown. Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and systemic racial injustice, the stark black-and-white images of Njie’s home, neighborhood, and surrounding abandoned spaces, combined with poetic handwritten text, offer an examination of displacement, memory, and belonging. For over 60 years, Brazilian artist Anna Bella Geiger has explored systems and frameworks as varied as the human body, self-representation, mathematical equations, and sociopolitical issues across painting, sculpture, video, installation, and photography. In Brasil nativo—Brasil alienígena (Native Brazil, Alien Brazil, 1976–77), Geiger appropriates postcards depicting the “way of life” of the Indigenous Bororo people with images of herself and her immigrant family in Rio de Janeiro, displaying them side by side. The pairing highlights the challenges of representing Brazil’s diverse population and raises questions about who gets depicted and by whom. South African artist Athi-Patra Ruga creates fantastical alter egos to navigate and critique sociopolitical issues, blending traditional and contemporary cultures. Central to his work is the Future White Woman of Azania, a persona that examines post-colonial African identity, LGBTQ+ issues, and utopian ideals while challenging societal structures. In A Vigil for Mayibuye (2015), Ruga portrays three of these figures amid lush vegetation in a state of watchful observance, symbolically overseeing migrants on the move within Africa and around the globe—a rumination on displacement, belonging, home, and the hope for reclamation. In Samantha Siagama , Trans-Indigenous Leader (2023) from her Compañerx series, photographer Camila Falquez portrays the Colombian community leader and activist exiled from the Emberá Indigenous tribe along with a group of fellow transgender women for defending their gender identity. Samantha wears a powerfully voluminous skirt from repurposed curtains, highlighting her beauty, dignity, and resilience in preserving her strength amid adversity. Part of the Pictures Generation , a loosely affiliated group of New York-based artists in the 1970s and 1980s, Sarah Charlesworth ’s Objects of Desire series (1983–88) examines the relationship between ritual and fetishization, whether sacred, secular, or sexual. Figures (1983) is amongst the most renowned works from this series and features a bodiless white cocktail dress floating in a black void on the left panel, while the right panel shows a person in a black sadomasochist rubber suit against an intense red background. In blurring the lines between decadence and refinement, conformity and perversion, economy and excess, and rationality and seduction, Charlesworth confronts the gendered power dynamics in human sexuality. Mary Sibande ’s alter ego Sophie, clad in elaborate Victorian-style dresses, is a conduit through which the South African artist confronts and reinterprets historical and cultural narratives, challenging the viewer to reconsider the legacy of domestic servitude and the broader sociopolitical context of her native country. A Terrible Beauty is Born (2013)—whose title references W. B. Yeats’s poem Easter , 1916—traces Sophie’s evolution into a symbol of resistance, as she transforms into grander, more intricate forms that highlight both her cultural heritage and newfound empowerment.

Close-up details of "Iku reading a poem for a pink sky" Opera Gallery is pleased to unveil two solo  exhibitions by Brazilian artist Gustavo Nazareno (b. 1994), marking his first  solo presentations in the United States. ‘Afro-Latin Baroque,’ presented at the  gallery’s Miami location will feature 16 new paintings, while ‘Bára,’ presented  at the gallery’s Bal Harbour location will feature over 30 charcoal drawings.  The exhibitions follow Nazareno’s participation in the group exhibition ‘One  Becomes Many’ at the Pérez Art Museum in Miami. The show, which features  work by ten prominent Black Brazilian artists, runs from October 17, 2024  to April 16, 2026. Nazareno will also present a solo institutional show at the  DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center in Chicago in 2026.  Attire for Exu, 2024, oil on linen, 180 x 150 x 4 cm, 70 7/8 x 59 x 1 5/8 in (photo by Erika Mayumi) The exhibitions follow Nazareno’s participation in the group show ‘One Becomes Many’ at the Pérez Art Museum in Miami, which features work by ten prominent Black Brazilian artists (October 17 2024 - April 16 2026). Nazareno’s work will also feature in a group exhibition titled ‘Justice and the Inalienable Rights’ at the State University of New York at Oswego alongside artist Simone Leigh and many others (January 28 – February 27 2025). He will also present a solo exhibition at the DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center in Chicago in 2026. Buffalo, 2024, oil on linen, 150 x 120 x 4 cm | 59 x 47 1/4 x 1 5/8 in (photo by Erika Mayumi) ‘Afro-Latin Baroque’ showcases Nazareno’s exploration of the intertwined  legacies of faith, art, and resilience. Drawing from the vibrant Afro-Brazilian  artistry and rich Catholic traditions that shaped the heritage of the Brazilian  state Minas Gerais, Nazareno creates an aesthetic symphony that connects  Brazil to Cuba — two lands bound by the rhythms and religious traditions  of Santería and Candomblé. Rooted in the legacy of Brazilian Baroque  masters such as Aleijadinho and Mestre Valentim, while also referencing the  European tradition of Baroque art, this exhibition reimagines multicultural and  generational expressions of faith and heritage through a contemporary lens.   Bará 37, 2023, charcoal on paper, 50 x 66 cm | 19 3/4 x 26 in (photo by Anna Carolina Bueno) In his practice, Nazareno honors the spiritual and cultural alchemy that defines the Latin and Afro-Brazilian Baroque, embracing duality — the sacred and  the profane, movement and stillness, the seen and the unseen. His works pay  homage to transcultural traditions, encouraging a dialogue between history,  possibility, and art as a vehicle for resistance and cultural redefinition.   Bará 17, 2023, charcoal on paper, 50 x 66 cm | 19 3/4 x 26 in (photo by Anna Carolina Bueno) Originating in 17th-century Europe, the Baroque artistic movement placed an  aesthetic emphasis on light, effects, and theatricality in an attempt to visually  represent infinity and the divine. The use of chiaroscuro and tenebrism to create  dramatic tension and emotional depth was a key component of Baroque art, as  was a focus on contrast, real or implied movement, and depth to achieve a sense of  awe and grandeur. Heavily encouraged by the Catholic Church, this movement  brought images of religious worship back into the public realm, sitting in stark contrast with the Renaissance art that came before it. Over time, the Baroque movement disseminated  throughout Europe and the Americas, transcending  boundaries and significantly shaping the artistic and  social landscape of colonial societies across Latin  America, where indigenous communities created a  new subset of Baroque art imbued with their unique  visual language and traditions.   Iku reading a poem for a pink sky, 2024, oil on linen | 130 x 130 x 4 cm | 51 1/8 x 51 1/8 x 1 5/8 in (photo by Erika Mayumi) Nazareno creates tableau vivants which suggest  synchronicity between the human and the divine.  Often resisting fixed identities, the figures in his  paintings transcend age and gender without adhering  to binary categories. These ambiguous figures  evoke the pageantry of fashion photography while  embracing the chiaroscuro technique characteristic  of Renaissance and Baroque artists. The visually  striking drawings from his ‘Bára’ series, which  resemble black and white photography, explore the  traditional dance ceremony performed for Eshu,  one of the deities known as Orixás worshipped in  the Yoruba religion and its many derivatives. Using  a drawing technique that involves applying charcoal  dust with his fingertips on paper while in his  candlelit studio, Nazareno’s compositions evoke the  stark duality central to Eshu’s nature.   Jennifer Inacio, Curator at Pérez Art Museum  Miami and author of the exhibition’s critic text  remarked, “Through his paintings and charcoal  drawings, Gustavo Nazareno interweaves nuanced  references–from his Brazilian heritage, his faith, and his ongoing engagement with art history–all while demonstrating his  keen awareness of materiality and composition. In this dual presentation of  paintings and drawings with ‘Afro-Latin Baroque’ and ‘Bára’ at Opera Gallery,  presented within the context of South Florida, Nazareno’s work pays homage  to the dynamic ongoing cultural exchange between Brazil and Miami that  contributes in no small part to the identity of this city.”   Close-up details of "Buffalo" “In ‘Afro-Latin Baroque,’ I weave the threads of Brazil and Cuba’s shared  legacies, exploring the convergence of Catholicism and Afro-Brazilian spiritual  traditions. These works are a dialogue between the sacred and the ancestral,  where the ornate grandeur of Baroque art meets the resilient vibrancy of  Candomblé and Santería. Showing this series at Opera Gallery Miami feels  especially meaningful—this city lives at the crossroads of these two cultures,  making it the perfect place to spark an intimate and international conversation,”  said Gustavo Nazareno.   Close-up details of "Attire for Exu" “We’re thrilled to present ‘Afro-Latin Baroque’ at Opera Gallery in Miami, a city  that is home to a significant Brazilian and Cuban community that has enriched  the city’s cultural fabric. Through his paintings and drawings, Gustavo explores illusory Baroque traditions across cultures while speaking eloquently about his Brazilian identity and the culture that has influenced him as well as Miami’s dynamic heritage,” said Dan Benchetrit, Director of Opera Gallery in Miami.  “Through the Bára series, Gustavo takes us on a compelling and prolific visual journey  that celebrates his culture while referencing a diverse range of aesthetic influences,  from the photography of Irving Penn to his own faith. We’re thrilled to present these  works in Bal Harbour, alongside his paintings on view at Opera Gallery in Miami,”  said Alexandre Sarfati, Director of Opera Gallery in Bal Harbour.   Opera Gallery Miami: 151 NE 41St Street suite 131 FL 33137 Opera Gallery Bal Harbour: The St. Regis, Bal Harbour Resort, 9703 Collins  Avenue, Bal Harbour FL 33154  Bará 22, 2023, charcoal on paper | 50 x 66 cm | 19 3/4 x 26 in (photo by Anna Carolina Bueno) About Gustavo Nazareno  Gustavo Nazareno was born in 1994 in Três Pontas, Brazil and currently lives  and works in São Paulo, Brazil.

The quantum world is often known for only being detectable at the atomic scale, but scientists are eager to see quantum mechanics with their own eyes. Join us at on Wednesday, March 19 for LIVE@Frost Science: Playing the Quantum Drum to learn about how experimental physicist Dr. Cindy Regal is making this possible. Dr. Regal, a physics professor at University of Colorado, Boulder , and JILA fellow, is creating tiny “drums” visible to the naked eye to explore the quantum world. With these drums, her team can manipulate the quantum state of light to measure forces with incredibly high precision. Their next target? Using two drums in concert to visualize quantum entanglement. While this may sound like something from a Marvel movie, it’s real life—and we’ll meet the scientist setting the beat for this exciting quantum movement. Admission is complimentary. Tickets are limited to four per transaction. Program will take place inside the Frost Planetarium. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Program starts promptly at 7:00 p.m. Seating is first-come, first-served.

The Dále Zine Gallery @dale_zine presents Stop Smell the Roses a solo exhibition by B.Thom Stevenson. Opening Night - February 8th, 5-9 PM “We spend so long looking ahead that we forget the world is happening right under our noses. It’s easy to drive right past the things that make life worth living. Sometimes, we need a little reminder of what really matters. Sometimes, all we need is a sign. Stop, Smell the Roses.” - B. Thom Stevenson DATE: Saturday, February 8, 2025 TIME: 5:00PM - 9:00PM ADDRESS: Dalé Zine Shop 50 NE 40th St Miami Florida, 33137 ML Staff. Content/image(s) courtesy of MDD
