As Cuban crisis deepens, diaspora artists have a message of compassion

Artists Antonia Wright and Ruben Millares are showcasing a salvaged, bullet-ridden Cuban migrant vessel at Miami’s Piero Atchugarry Gallery. The exhibition, titled 'Exile', serves as a visceral focal point for the escalating humanitarian crisis in Cuba, where citizens face systemic collapse, starvation, and political imprisonment. Through the concept of 'embodiment' rather than mere empathy, the artists confront the harrowing 93-mile journey across the Straits of Florida undertaken by those desperate to escape the island's dictatorship.

Art Basel Miami Beach aims to ‘end the year on a high note’

Art Basel Miami Beach (ABMB) opens amid a still-sluggish global art market, with sales at live events yet to recover to pre-pandemic levels. Director Bridget Finn expresses optimism following strong sales at Art Basel Paris in October, noting that gallerists and collectors were energized. The fair introduces structural changes, including relocating the Nova and Positions sections to the east entrance to spotlight emerging galleries, and launching Zero 10, a platform for digital art. Seven local Miami galleries are participating, with Nina Johnson making her ABMB debut. Despite a few longtime exhibitors withdrawing, Finn attributes this to galleries being more selective across Art Basel's five global fairs, including a new Qatar edition in 2026.

A recovered ‘balsa’ is the center of an art exhibit in Miami’s Design District

Artists Antonia Wright and Rubén Millares have unveiled a poignant installation titled "Exile" at the Piero Atchugarry gallery in Miami’s Design District. The centerpiece is an authentic 'balsa' (raft) recovered from the shores of Key Biscayne, featuring a 1942 Chevrolet engine and metal barrels marked with the logo of Cuba’s state beekeeping company. The artists preserved the vessel's original state, adding only interior lighting to highlight bullet holes and a soundscape of the roaring sea to immerse viewers in the harrowing experience of Cuban migrants.
