WE ARE THE PLACES

WE LEFT BEHIND

______________________________________

FIU MFA Exhibition ‘23

The gallery will be open during Miami Art Week, Dec 5-8, 12:00 – 3:00PM

We are the places we left behind is a curatorial project conceived from the desire to delve into various notions of space. How we engage with and react to a space, and how it can influence our mood, emotions, and creativity. Furthermore, how a space, although no longer present, continues to shape our identity. Partially inspired by Bachelard’s The Poetics of Space, this exhibition aspires to present how we are the embodiment of the spaces we create for ourselves and the ones we leave behind within the intersectionality of the material, the memory, and the psyche.

This collective show features the works of nine Miami-based artists who are currently enrolled in the FIU Master of Fine Arts in Visual Arts program. Through different approaches and mediums, including painting, photography, fibers, plaster, video, and performance art; these artists create integral works that delve into their personal experience, presenting their unique perspectives.
