Carolina Cueva: In the Breath of Remembering, the Future Calls to Our Refuge

Carolina Cueva, a Miami-based artist born in Lima, Peru, presents In the Breath of Remembering, the Future Calls to Our Refuge — a deeply personal exploration of cultural memory, transformation, and Indigenous identity.

Working across sculpture, drawing, and performance, Cueva uses natural materials like clay, adobe, herbs, and wood to create grounded, reflective spaces. These elements reconnect with ancestral traditions and speak to cycles of grief, healing, and resilience.

Her graphite drawings blend Andean landscapes with intergenerational stories, offering quiet moments to process pain and imagine new futures. Rooted in Andean cosmologies and shaped by colonial history, her work honors the sacredness of daily life and our relationship to land and spirit.

This exhibition invites viewers to pause, reflect, and consider how remembering can guide us toward restoration.
