Thu, Oct 29Opening reception, 6–8 pm

Sculpture, performance and installation that turn the gallery into a garden drawn from Cuban plant lore and ancestral memory.

Curated by Priscilla Aleman, the show treats the tropics as more than an ecology: a channel for memory, intuition and change passed between generations. It starts from a personal mythology around the curator’s grandfather, a Cuban horticulturist.

Sculpture, performance and installation draw on diaspora, ritual and embodied memory, and the gallery becomes a shared garden of collective myth.
