Mariel Miranda – Saints, Puppets, Monsters, and Tongues Opening

Join us for the opening of our next exhibition, Mariel Miranda: SAINTS, PUPPETS, MONSTERS AND TONGUES

Saints, Puppets, Monsters and Tongues is a solo show that presents large-scale new work by Mariel Miranda that confronts the entanglements of migration, faith, sexuality, and labor. The series was developed
while navigating the U.S. immigration system and the threat of displacement. Insomnia, repetition, and confession shape the work. Incompatible fantasies of religious iconography collide with erotic playfulness, producing figures that are at once disciplined and defiant. Devotion and desire emerge as both survival strategies and aesthetic methods.
