The Smell of Banana Flowers
October 29 - November 29, 2026
Opening Reception: October 29th, 6-8pm
The Smell of Banana Flowers, curated by Priscilla Aleman, reimagines the tropics not only as an ecological force, but as a metaphysical conduit—capable of transmitting memory, intuition, and transformation across generations. Rooted in personal mythology inspired by the artist’s grandfather—a Cuban horticulturist shaped by tropical cultivation—this exhibition unfolds as a bio-mythology: a living narrative shaped by ancestral memory, plant knowledge, and acts of transformation.
In an ethnobotanical collaboration with Kenneth Reginald Otero Walker, both the artist and ethnobotanist explores intersections of ecology, diaspora, ritual, and embodied memory to create a shared environment where sculpture, performance, and horticulture intertwine—transforming the gallery into a living garden of collective myth and material storytelling.
