Weaving Stories / Diaspora
An exhibition born from the reunion of three artists and friends: Lourdes Peñaranda, Elsy Zavarce, and myself. Connected by shared memories, migration experiences, and deep bonds, we came together once more in Miami to create this show, framed within the Weaving Stories workshop, a project by elsyzavarce that has traveled across continents gathering diaspora narratives.
Each piece is part of an intimate network, woven from our individual realities yet deeply intertwined. As Katherine Chacón beautifully writes: “Diaspora Weaving Stories is a weave of gestures, materials, and memories that stitches together a shared narrative from afar.”
Special thanks to MIFA () and marcocaridad for opening their space to us, and to everyone who helped make this project possible: Stefania Hernández, Juan Henriquez andresguillen, Alex Pinecco, Andres Matute, lilianastudiolab, japphystudio — and to each person who took part in our workshop and shared their story.

The exhibition will remain open through this Sunday, the April 27th, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
🧵✨ Weaving Stories / Diáspora
Una exposición que nace del reencuentro entre tres artistas y amigos: Lourdes Peñaranda , Elsy Zavarce y yo. Unidos por afectos, vivencias migratorias y lugares compartidos, decidimos cruzar caminos nuevamente para crear esta muestra en Miami, resultado del taller Weaving Stories, proyecto de Elsy Zavarce que ha viajado por continentes recogiendo memorias de la diáspora.
Cada obra es parte de una red íntima, tejida desde nuestras realidades individuales pero entrelazadas. Como dice “Una trama de gestos, materiales y memorias que borda una narrativa común desde la distancia.”
Gracias a MIFA (miamiinternationalfinearts) y a por abrirnos sus puertas, y a todos quienes nos apoyaron para hacer posible este proyecto: , , , y a cada persona que compartió su historia en nuestro taller.
La expo estará abierta hasta este domingo 27, de abril ,de 10 a.m. a 6 p.m.
