Join us for the opening reception of the Deering Contemporary Exhibition “Unraveled Tales” curated by Angela Chaine on Sunday, January 26, from 12 to 5 p.m. Guests can also enjoy an artist talk at 3 p.m. inside the Great Hall.
Delving into the notion that we are the voices of all those who once traversed this land, this collective exhibition examines how we continue to narrate ancestral stories and the pivotal role we play in preserving historical, archaeological, and environmental heritage for future generations. It also aims to raise awareness of the rapid urban development that threatens to erase our 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 will also be workshops and other programs during the extent of the exhibition.
