Water is both a source of life and a force that shapes the fate of entire communities. Tides and Currents explores humanity’s complex and evolving relationship with water, as it serves as a vital resource, a pathway for migration, and a force of nature that demands both respect and adaptation. The exhibition introduces stories of migration across seas with the multimedia work from Julia Zurilla—where water becomes both a bridge to new opportunities and a perilous, unpredictable expanse. For many, the ocean is a symbol of hope and survival, but also a reminder of the risks and tragedies that define the refugee and migrant experience as they navigate dangerous waters in search of safety and a better life.

Julia Zurilla: Vacational Aesthetics of the Environment" at Laundromat Art Space
They say seeing is believing, and Venezuela-born artist Julia Zurilla wants to challenge our perceptions. Her video and photo works use binocular vision to juxtapose scenes of idyllic family vacations and natural disasters, a dichotomy any Floridian will likely be all too familiar with.

On vacation: Julia Zurilla
In February 2024, Julia Zurilla presented her solo show "Vacation Aesthetics of the Environment" at Laundromat Art Space, a creation and exhibition space active since 2015 located in Little Haiti. The project was developed from archival images that recreate the happy and catastrophic memory of Miami, a city blessed by its recreational charm and subjected to the rigors of the water. The videos, stills, and installations that make up the exhibition suggest a bucolic and unstable environment where there are boats, casinos, and hotels, but also hurricanes and floods, topped by a continuous line that evokes the horizon of water.

Miami Artist Julia Zurilla presents — .. .- .– -..- (MIA WX), a multimedia project that combines experimental videos and circular photographs, juxtaposing images from past and present that explore nostalgia and contemporary environmental realities. The installation layout is arranged in Morse code, a visual system composed of dashes, dots and spaces that is also known as “the lifesaving language.” This project reflects both the urgency of climate communication and the adaptability of the installation, allowing any word associated with the project’s theme to be expressed and tailored to various spaces.

Many exhibitions revolve around Miami as a theme, but few are unafraid to trigger uncomfortable conversations about gentrification, climate change, and other pressing issues. However, we can’t have an honest conversation about our city without these topics crossing our minds. That’s why “Magic City: Contemporary Visions of Miami” feels like a true reflection of what Miami is; showcasing artistic representations of its nightlife, nature, architecture, immigration, recreational drugs, and the impact of severe weather.
