José Parlá, Homecoming at Pérez Art Museum Miami

The exhibition highlighted the Miami-born, New York–based artist’s hybrid cultural influences and expressive, gesture-driven painting practice shaped by Caribbean, Latin American, and urban traditions.

Both the museum show and LA Habana Sunset reflect José Parlá’s personal history, resilience, and gestural, layered style, blending his Cuban American roots, life experiences, and abstract symbolism into deeply expressive, hybrid works.

Melissa Joseph, Tender at The Brooklyn Museum

Step onto the Brooklyn Museum plaza and experience Tender, an outdoor installation by ART FOR CHANGE artist and UOVO Prize–winner Melissa Joseph. Transforming the museum’s outdoor plaza into a space for gathering and reflection, Joseph invited viewers to explore how public art fosters human connection. 

Melissa Joseph’s Tender expands on themes first explored in earlier works like her ART FOR CHANGE edition Aunties Inside. Both show “deceptively mundane moments, meditating on simple interactions between friends and loved ones—people eating, resting, laughing, and embracing.” - The Brooklyn Museum

Katherine Bernhardt x Jeremy Scott, A Match Made in Heaven at The Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art

The exhibition explored the shared inspirations between Katherine Bernhardt’s paintings and Scott’s fashion, examining how both blur the lines between high and low art, transform everyday consumer goods into creative statements, and challenge traditional ideas of taste, beauty, and social commentary.

Showcased in Match Made in Heaven at The Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art,
Katherine Bernhardt’s Lucky Charms Are Magically Delicious reimagines the beloved character from E.T. (1982), surrounded by the iconic marshmallow cereal pieces familiar to generations of American consumers.

Hiba Schahbaz, The Garden at The Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami 

The Garden is Hiba Schahbaz’s first major retrospective. The exhibition brings together her signature motifs, including global allegory, a feminist perspective, and fantastical beings that move between elemental realms and human architecture. These themes are framed through the concept of Jannat, or the “Paradise Garden,” drawn from Islamic tradition and Sufi poetry.

At MOCA North Miami, Hiba Schahbaz’s The Garden expands on themes similarly explored in her ART FOR CHANGE edition Dreaming at Sunset. Both touch on inviting viewers into a living terrain where myth, history, and imagination intertwine.
