On view through Sunday, May 17, 2026, the exhibition features work by Miami-based Latinx artists of Peruvian descent Diana Larrea and Zonia Zena. Drawing inspiration from the writings of Sylvia Wynter, “Finding One’s Ceremony” explores questions of identity and self-definition through the idea of ceremony as a space for reflection and transformation. The artists engage Wynter’s concept of the “gaze from below,” centering perspectives historically positioned outside dominant narratives and foregrounding lived experience as a site for reimagining who we are.

“Surface & Gesture”— Ash Kolodner

On view through May. 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

ArtLAB@Galvin Center, Scott Galvin Community Center, 1600 NE 126 St., North Miami

Multidisciplinary artist Ash Kolodner works across photography, painting, and sculpture, with a sustained focus on portraiture and LGBTQ+ identity.  “Gayface”—a series of more than 500 diptych portraits—was published as a monograph by Lucia | Marquand in 2023, featuring texts by RuPaul, Jordan Roth, and Kimberly Peirce.

“Surface & Gesture:  presents a group of paintings that began alongside the artist’s gender transition and expanded during the pandemic, a period marked by suspension and deep interior transformation. Moving between abstraction and figuration, exposure and concealment, the works are built through layered surfaces shaped by pressure, erasure, and revision. Rather than illustrating identity, the paintings create a space where becoming remains ongoing—unresolved, material, and deeply felt.
