"This Summer Too" - DVCAI Summer Exhibition at Barry University

Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator, Inc. invites audiences to experience the art and culture of the Diaspora during a six-week exhibition, This Summer Too: Conversations with Makers, Exploring Memory, Materials, and Meaning.

The exhibition is on view from May 9, 2025, to June 20, 2025, at DVCAI at Monsignor William Barry Library, Institute of Immigration Studies Gallery at Barry University, 11300 NE 2nd Avenue, Miami, FL 33161.

Join us for the opening reception on Friday, May 9, 2025, from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

This summer, during This Summer Too: Conversations with Makers Exploring Memory, Materials, and Meaning, Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator turns our attention to artists who bridge the artificial boundaries between art, craft, design, and artisanship. These are makers—creators who work from a place of ancestral knowledge, driven by the need to fill an inner void and propelled by the desire for self-expression.

During regular library hours, visit the exhibition to view works by artists Lauren Austin, Barbara Garvine, Alida Martinez, Yossi Peled, Evelyn Politzer, and Miki Spijers, with Barry University MFA Candidates, Joy Johnson and Robertha Blatt. These artists’ practices are often sparked by specific provocations, with memory as a recurring catalyst.
