Nuestro Vaivén (Our Sway), was The Ringling Museum’s first major exhibition of contemporary Latin art. This regional survey features 22 artists—representing 11 Latin American nations and 11 Florida counties from Osceola to Sarasota to Miami-Dade. Organized by New York-based independent curator Amy Rosenblum-Martín (Florida resident 1994–2000) with Sarasota-based Community Curator and Ringling Trustee Emeritus Javi Suárez, the exhibition will be on view from October 4, 2025, to March 22, 2026.
At its core, Nuestro Vaivén centers dialogue between four Latin Sarasotan community leaders from various fields and four pairs of exhibiting artists to create installations that celebrate and reflect the wide-ranging ideas and experiences of their local communities.
As part of this exhibition I got the chance to create a site specific work of art titled Piramidal in dialogue with the health worker community of Sarasota, and in collaboration with artist Yanira Collado. Including dozens of scrubs along with day to day household materials like mop heads, towels and bathmats, this piece invites us to consider and celebrate the labor of care performed by our Latinx community not just in Sarasota, but in the rest of the county as well.
