Exhibition Overview

Mahara+Co presents Forms of Memory and Rewriting, a group exhibition bringing together eight artists who approach memory as a living and mutable process. Rather than a fixed archive, memory is conceived here as a territory in transformation—a space where materials, gestures, and words intertwine to rewrite what has been lived.

The exhibition unfolds as a constellation of material and symbolic languages. In the works of Karlo Andrei Ibarra and Yiyo Tirado, memory takes shape through political and social friction; Yessica Gispert connects the syncretic spiritual rituals inherited from her Caribbean ancestry with processes of healing and alchemy; Augusta Lecaros explores disappearance and fragility as forms of permanence; Amanda Linares weaves identity, displacement, and absence through transparency, language, and found objects; Pablo Matute reconfigures the residues of the everyday to reveal poetry within ruin; Iván Perera examines how matter retains the traces of memory and history, transforming fragments into vessels of human testimony; and Rafael Domenech transforms the exhibition space into an architecture of reading where matter and language continuously rewrite one another.

From Miami—a city of crossings, resonance, and exchange between the Caribbean and Latin America—Forms of Memory and Rewriting opens a dialogue between territories, languages, and temporalities. The exhibition invites us to understand memory not as nostalgia, but as an act of resistance and imagination: a way to make present what remains to be written.

About the Artists

Rafael Domenech — Havana, Cuba; lives and works between New York and Miami. Combines architecture, publishing, and sculpture to reconsider the exhibition format as a site for production and circulation of knowledge.

Karlo Andrei Ibarra — San Juan, Puerto Rico. Addresses political, cultural, and geographic boundaries that shape identity, using conceptual strategies and mass-media codes.

Augusta Lecaros — Santiago, Chile. Works across installation, video, and text to explore memory, decay, and affect, reflecting on time, fragility, and communal care.

Amanda Linares — Havana, Cuba; lives and works in Miami. Explores the relationship between language, space, and perception through design, drawing, and installation.

Pablo Matute — Miami, USA. Draws from the memory of manual labor and migration, using construction materials to examine notions of effort, belonging, and transformation.

Iván Perera — Havana, Cuba; lives and works in Miami. Investigates belief, history, and the persistence of memory through sculpture and installation, turning objects and ruins into vessels of human experience.

Yiyo Tirado — San Juan, Puerto Rico. Develops a critical practice around architecture, tourism, and Puerto Rico’s colonial condition, challenging exoticized images of the Caribbean.
