The Deering Estate has announced the exhibition “Deering Contemporary: Unraveled Tales” will be on display daily from Jan. 26 to Mar. 23.
Delving into the notion that individuals are the voices of all those who once traversed this land, this collective exhibition explores how ancestral stories and migration narratives continue to shape this constant evolving region, with roots extending back 10,000 years.
Layers of stories intertwine past and present, continuously shaping the broad narrative of South Florida. The exhibition reflects on the passage of time, likened to a leaf falling to the ground, leaving its imprint — just as humans leave their own marks on history.
The opening reception will be on Sunday, Jan. 26, from noon to 5 p.m. The opening reception is free with RSVP at www.eventbrite.com/e/opening-day-events-for-deering-contemporary-unraveled-tales-tickets-1127017452539.
The exhibition examines the pivotal role played by institutions and the community in preserving the historical and environmental heritage for future generations and it invites for reflection on the urgent need to address the rapid urban development threatening to erase the city’s history.
The Deering Estate holds a rich legacy, not only through its architectural history but also through its connection to the surrounding landscape and the communities who once inhabited this place — including prehistoric and indigenous groups such as the Tequesta, as well as the Deering family.
Featuring both international and Miami-based artists, this exhibition presents site-specific works that invite viewers to reflect on our connection to the land and the stories of the past that shape our present. Through an exploration of materiality, these works merge into a collective visual narrative, proposing imaginative and reconstructed tales.
The works in the exhibition range from sculpture, installation, video performance, textiles, and photography and will sprawl across the estate’s grounds and in the Garden Room of the Richmond Cottage. There also will be workshops and other programs during the extent of the exhibition.
Participating artists include Amanda Linares, Pamela Suasti, Laura Villarreal, Nicole Pedraza, Juliana Torres, Claudio Marcotulli, Carol Jazzar, and Dona Altemus.
The Deering Estate is located at 16701 SW 72 Ave. in Palmetto Bay.
