the past never a fixed and dormant landscape but one that is re-seen. Whether we want to or not, we are traveling in a spiral, we are creating something new from what is gone. Ocean Vuong This sudden access to terrestrial madness illuminates his heart: he begins to think about the other Caribbean islands, their volcanoes, their earthquakes, their hurricanes. Suzanne Césaire In the current exhibition, wanders a never fixed nor dormant landscape, Adler Guerrier continues an exploration of landscapes, gardens, and verdant salons as places for interrogating the conditions for flourishing, prompting deeper reflection on awe, imagination, and cultivated hope that keeps us living.

We are thrilled to announce our forthcoming exhibition “A landscape longed for: The garden as disturbance” curated by Laura Novoa and Adler Guerrier. The exhibition, which opens to the public on Friday, March 1 at 5pm, features work by 15 artists, each of whom explores the motif of the garden in its relation to the cultivation and expression of beauty and knowledge.
Each of the participating artists, including Laura Castro, Carolina Casusol, Sandi Haber Fifield, David Hartt, Jim Hodges, Mark Fleuridor, Candice Lin, Cathy Lu, Lee Mary Manning, Ana Mendieta, Reginald O’Neal, Ebony Patterson, Ema Ri, Onajide Shabaka and Kandis Williams, consider the intricacies of the garden as a metaphor for the larger world, using it as a framework to consider cultural, social, political, geographical, and historical issues.
“A landscape longed for: The garden as disturbance” builds on the exhibit’s first iteration, showcased at Locust Projects in Miami in 2021. There, works were displayed with dialogues addressing notions of fragility, remembrance, ornamentation, beauty, and affective traces in the landscape. At CEAM, the show’s themes extend to ecological interdependence, homage, reverence, refuge, renewal, and time emphatically spent on the creation and nourishment of our inner lives.
Laura Novoa is a curator and arts administrator based in Miami, FL, where she works as Assistant Director of Programs and Community Engagement at the Bakehouse Art Complex. She has curated exhibitions for the Miami Design District, Locust Projects, Oolite Arts, and YoungArts, among others.

I always think of Pauline going
down the stairs I always hold
on thinking how going down
she must have tripped she
was always going fast after
all we called her the Flash
and when her husband
found her it didn’t matter
that he was an ER doc he
might as well have been a post-
doc in art history he might as
well have been a window
washer or mortician there
she was at the bottom
of the stairs with that busted
sack of onions sweet onions
she’d have sliced and cried
over and eaten raw with a little
salt and she’d have handed
you a slice like a sliver
of moon and if you
were in a dark
time she’d have
said hey friend hold
on
