Miami is a city familiar with movement and is often considered a destination or site of departure. Located less than 2 miles from Miami Executive Airport, Seeds of connection at Kendall Art Center (KAC) coalesces varied approaches of how connections can invoke a sense of home. This exhibition features watercolors, assemblages, sculptures, and fiber artworks by Leticia Rosa Lago, Karla Kantorovich, Dianna Perez, and Evelyn Politzer.
Participating artists and curators in this exhibition are tied by their immigrant, second-generation immigrant, and intermittent living in Miami. Seeds of connection creates a space to meditate on the in-between spaces of connections forged by life experiences and backgrounds. The works explore different ways of reaching inward and outward, while transforming boundaries. They consider how the space where one comes from or belongs can unfold as energy, physical transcendence, color, introspection, or a geographical location.
The Kendall Art Center is an active and appealing place in...South Florida’s art community. Home of the Rodriguez Collection, they are committed to promoting and preserving contemporary work through exciting programs and exhibitions. Seeds of connection is part of KAC’s collaboration with Florida International University (FIU) and Miami International University of Art & Design presenting recent Master of Fine Arts (MFA) graduates in Visual Arts. The exhibition also functions as a postgraduate exercise for emerging curators, Paola Sierra and Arasay Vazquez, who recently earned their MFA in Curatorial Practice from FIU. Each year, KAC launches curatorial projects exclusively for women artists as part of their Women in the Arts program. In doing so, they support visibility for emerging and mid-career creators and provide a broader scope for womens’ artwork.
