CAROLINA CUEVA:
The memory that transforms into a place
On View Thru Sun., Feb. 5, 2023
Oolite Arts Collaborations
The Art and Culture Center/Hollywood presents a solo exhibition by Miami-based artist Carolina Cueva, in partnership with Oolite Arts.
Carolina Cueva’s multi-media practice includes sculpture, 2D works, and performance, often referencing ancestry and her heritage through symbols of Andean cosmology. Cueva’s work is introspective – it is a reflection of the source, materialized, though sacred. Within that reflection, Cueva reveals her own relationship to colonization by way of personal narrative through a transcendental lens. Her indigenous roots inform her art and allow her to draw from lived experiences of displacement, hybridization, and wholeness. The work encourages healing and receptivity, evoking energies that create space to call back fragmented parts of one’s self.
This exhibition in Gallery 2 at the Center is the fourth of our Oolite Collaborations series with Oolite Arts based in Miami Beach. The exhibition brochure includes a text written by Risa Puleo, an art historian, independent curator, and doctoral candidate in Northwestern University’s art history program.
