Your Guide to Miami Exhibitions on Saturday, January 10
Baker—Hall | Opening Reception
Transit Memory
5 – 8 PM • 1294 NW 29th St, Miami, FL 33142
Baker—Hall is pleased to partner with Oolite Arts on an exhibition entitled “Transit Memory”, featuring artists from Oolite Arts’ 2025 Studio Residency Program. “Transit Memory” brings together Sepideh Kalani, Diana Larrea, Ana Mosquera, and Zonia Zena and is on view January 10–February 22, 2026.
“Transit Memory” considers how identity is constructed, negotiated, and reassembled across shifting cultural, political, and geographic terrains. Through photography, video, technical drawing, embroidery, ceramics, and porcelain sculpture, the exhibition approaches memory as an active process and transit as both condition and material. Each artist examines systems that shape selfhood—bureaucracy, migration, censorship, and inherited traditions—revealing how belonging and autonomy persist under conditions of displacement and uncertainty.
Anchored in Miami, a city defined by diasporic movement and layered histories, the exhibition reflects on the immigrant experience as a continual balancing act between resilience and surveillance, personal agency and institutional constraint. Across the works, lived experience intersects with governing frameworks that regulate visibility, legitimacy, and recognition.
Sepideh Kalani’s multidisciplinary practice draws from Persian visual traditions, neuroscience, and ceramics to explore embodied selfhood shaped by histories of censorship and communal negotiation. Diana Larrea examines domestic space, family archives, and inherited memory to reflect on loss, return, and the fragile architecture of home. Ana Mosquera interrogates bureaucratic systems through technical drawing and mapping, reframing administrative spaces as sites where identity is suspended and remade. Zonia Zena’s photographic and embroidered works reconnect human presence to the natural world, tracing cultural memory through landscapes marked by care, continuity, and resilience.
Edge Zones | Closing Reception
Blurred Lines & Portal of Spirit: Mapping the Unseen World
6 – 9 PM • 3317 NW 7th Ave Circle, Miami, FL 33127
Conclude your Gallery Night journey at Edge Zones for its closing reception, featuring Blurred Lines and Portal of Spirit: Mapping the Unseen World by Jenna Efrein and Charo Oquet.
These exhibitions explore the creative intersections between art and design, investigating how visual perception, spatial experience, and conceptual frameworks overlap, diverge, and influence the environments we occupy and imagine. Through innovative use of materials, experimentation with form, and a blending of practical design with symbolic meaning, Efrein and Oquet invite viewers to engage with the boundaries between the visible and the invisible, encouraging a deeper awareness of both physical and metaphysical space.
“Blurred Lines – An Intersection of Art and Design” is a group exhibition that explores the porous boundaries between design, craft, and visual art, focusing on works that transcend traditional categories and respond to the rich cultural terrain of South Florida.
The closing reception celebrates these explorations, bringing together local art enthusiasts, practitioners, and the broader creative community.
