Invisible Luggage

The Historic Hampton House, a landmark of the Civil Rights Movement, is set to host the 2nd annual exhibition, Invisible Luggage, during Miami Art Week. This thought-provoking exhibition curated by artists Beth Rudin DeWoody, Laura Dvorkin, Maynard Monrow, Zoe Lukov and Auttrianna Ward delves into the often unseen burdens carried by individuals in areas such as social justice, gender identity and immigration.

Through a diverse range of mediums, including painting, sculpture and installation, the artists explore the emotional and psychological weight of these experiences. The exhibition aims to shed light on the resilience and strength of those navigating these hidden realities.
