Havana/The Museum of Art and Design (MOAD) at Miami Dade College presents Beyond Time (Beyond Time), a group exhibition that brings together works by the Cuban Antonia Eiriz, the Puerto Rican Juan Sánchez and the Cuban Pedro Vizcaíno. The exhibition, which can be visited from November 1, 2026 to March 14, 2027 in the historic Freedom Tower in Miami, proposes a dialogue between three artists from different generations and careers, united by their interest in the representation of the human figure, identity and the tensions of existence.
Through paintings, works on paper and assemblages, the exhibition explores alternative states of being and ways of representing human experience that challenge the conventions of time and space. According to the museum’s presentation, the three creators resort to expressive gestures that place their characters in universes where time is confused, space seems to flatten and identity is transformed.
Antonia Eiriz (1929-1995), one of the fundamental figures of Cuban expressionism, developed a work marked by the deformation of faces, existential anguish and a critical look at the human condition. His paintings and assemblages, with an intense psychological charge, constitute an essential reference of Cuban art of the second half of the 20th century. After decades of creation on the Island, the artist settled in Miami in 1993, where she died two years later.
Juan Sánchez (1954), born in Brooklyn to Puerto Rican parents, has built an artistic career linked to the collective memory, cultural identity and social struggles of Latino communities in the United States. Her work combines painting, photography, collage and other media to address questions related to history, belonging and cultural resistance.
For his part, Pedro Vizcaíno, a Cuban artist based in Miami, develops a highly expressive visual language, characterized by grotesque characters, references to popular culture, urban symbols and an aesthetic close to graffiti and comics. One of his works, drone (2024), done in acrylic and marker on canvas, illustrates the promotion of the exhibition.
The exhibition is organized by the Museum of Art and Design at Miami Dade College, with the support of Art Bridges and other cultural institutions. Its presentation in the Freedom Tower, a building closely linked to the history of the Cuban exile and the memory of immigration in Miami, adds a symbolic dimension to the meeting between these three Caribbean creators.
