Congratulations to Lauryn Lawrence, a graduate of FIU Art + Art History, on presenting her first solo exhibition, home away from home, at IPC ArtSpace in Little Haiti!

Last month, our Intermediate and Advanced Photography students had the opportunity to visit and meet the artist.

Curated by Zee Lopez Del Carmen and Karamot Gabriella, the exhibition features Lawrence’s analog black-and-white photography and site specific installation work, inviting viewers into intimate encounters with individuals navigating the emotional terrain of migration and temporary dwelling. Some of the work in the exhibition was printed in the FIU Darkroom this summer.

Led by Visiting Assistant Professor Jessica Gispert @yessicagispert, students heard openly about Lauryn’s practice and process, seeing the possibilities of a sustained photographic practice after FIU.
They were also joined by Aldeide Delgado and WOPHA Fellow Val Souza, who spoke about WOPHA and its support for women photographers in Miami and the Caribbean. Lauryn returns to the photo labs this fall to participate in student critiques.

Thank you to Lauryn and IPC ArtSpace for hosting our students!

It’s been a month since home away from home closed at IPC ArtSpace (on view July 23rd through September 5th), and I’m still pinching myself.

I keep returning to this experience, still amazed that I was able to bridge my memories of London with South Florida, bringing pieces of home into another. From the long, sleepless install nights to the euphoric opening, from the heartwarming photo voice workshop with @girlsincmiami to the enriching conversation with @nadegegreen and @profveelyles to the visits from @blackgirlsinartspaces , the Art Girlies happy hour, visit with @yessicagispert FIU Photo students, and the tours and walkthroughs, every moment left me full of love, warmth, and gratitude.

To my incredible curators, @pamdebono & @officialkara thank you for your trust, for every ounce of work and care you poured into this exhibition, and for seeing me in ways I couldn’t see myself. Thank you to @ipcartspace for hosting us and letting us take up space for over a month. Thank you to @unkleclarence for your steady support, your help with the install, and for documenting these tender moments. Thank you to @drinkhiyo for keeping us hydrated with such nourishing social tonics. Thank you to @kwayawines for keeping everyone buzzing with such delicious wine, and to @cloudmanlou , for documenting every exhibition I’ve been blessed to have.

And to every person who showed up, documented the space, and reflected with us on what home means to them: thank you!!

This has been a truly euphoric experience. I’m forever grateful for my South Florida community, my London community, and everyone who continues to sit with this work alongside me.

p.s. for the first time ever my grandma was able to make it to one of my exhibitions and spend some time with the work in person and it was so magical I could cry every time I think about it.

The conversation continues 🤎

Meet the 2026 O, Miami Greenhouse artists. 🌱✨

This summer, twelve young artists from across South Florida joined us for our annual artist professionalization program.

Grounded in artistic mentorship, professional development, and creative community engagement, the Greenhouse supports Miami’s next generation of creatives, especially those working outside of traditional institutional frameworks. Each year, from June through August, our cohort is paired with a stellar lineup of Miami-based mentors, including filmmakers, poets, choreographers, and cultural workers. Each artist is matched with a mentor aligned with their creative practice, while O, Miami supports their professional development through poetry as a tool for self-expression and problem-solving.

Congratulations to all of our emerging artists! We can’t wait to see what you do next.

Thank you to the art spaces that welcomed our cohort into their space and hosted artist talks, tours, and more.

Interested in getting involved in the Greenhouse or hosting our next cohort? Email us at info@omiami.org.

Applications for the next Greenhouse open spring 2027.

Excited to share my latest piece has found its home on my wall. Like I said if you didn’t go see @laurynn_l first solo show Home Away from Home curated by @pamdebono @ipcartspace you were sleep.

I really love this proof that I bought and I think it was a really beautiful was to keep her work accessible to folx and invite them into her process.

Hola mis amores 💌

This week’s Postcard took me to The Betsy Hotel @thebetsyhotel and honestly… I’m gonna have to do a MUCH longer case study because there is simply too much to cover in one little Postcard. 🤞🏾😮‍💨

Between the nightly jazz, the art throughout the hotel, the exhibitions, and just the whole experience of the space, The Betsy definitely gave me a few things to take notes on. 👀
It is absolutely a great place to unwind after work, get a few drinks and network with other creatives. Also a great lace to spend your birthday 😉

If you’re in Miami, definitely add this one to your list!

And if you have a Miami spot you think I NEED to study next, tell meee 👇🏽

Hasta la próxima, ciao mis amores 🌺✨❤️

P.S: I felt so cutesy on my birthday! Big up:

Saturday, August 15 @lhccmiami , Flip It & Reverse It concludes with a community gathering celebrating Haitian art, spirituality, movement, and culture.

✨Art is Spirit. Spirit is Art. (12–2:30 PM)

Led by Her Royal Majesty Queen Mother Dr. Dòwòti Désir (Social Curator, Flip It & Reverse It; Manbo Asogwe), “The Govi Project: Waging Peace” invites participants to create and decorate govi—traditional Haitian vessels that hold memory, prayer, and offering—as part of a collective artwork honoring loved ones, ancestors, displaced communities, and visions for peace.

The afternoon continues with “Yanvalou Speaks: Voice of the Ancestors,” a participatory dance class led by Dr. Weislande “Yanui” César—educator, Haitian folkloric dancer, instructor, and cultural leader—offering an experience of a foundational Haitian movement tradition rooted in resilience, community, and collective expression.

✨ Chilling Big in Little Haiti (3–6 PM)

Continue the celebration by visiting Sanctuary: Our Sacred Place at the Little Haiti Cultural Complex, IPC ArtSpace, and the studios of Edouard Duval-Carrié, while enjoying food, music, conversation, dancing, and connection throughout one of Miami’s most vibrant cultural neighborhoods.

Presented by Flip It & Reverse It in partnership with the Little Haiti Cultural Complex.

Additional support provided by Florida International University Steven J. Green School of International & Public Affairs – Public Humanities Lab, IPC ArtSpace, The Haitian Cultural Arts Alliance, the studio of Edouard Duval-Carrié, and the Little Haiti Cultural Complex.

We look forward to celebrating with Miami’s Haitian community and all who wish to join us. 🇭🇹

This Sunday all roads lead to The Orb at The Betsy Hotel on South Beach! I’ll be playing for a block party celebrating the opening of “From Venice with Love,” a retrospective on the art works of Haitian artist, Edouard Duval Carrie (displayed in The Betsy Gallery). The installation is curated by my brother, Carl Juste (@cpj_is_here @ipcartspace) and the event will be one to remember! It all goes down 8:30-10:30pm as we fill the streets and enjoy!

🎨 What if the best way to discover South Florida wasn’t by looking at its skyline—but by looking beneath it?

For my latest feature in Luxury Guide USA, I explore four exhibitions that reveal the stories shaping South Florida beyond its beaches and ever-evolving skyline. Through themes of migration, community, memory and creative experimentation, these exhibitions invite us to experience the region through the artists, museums and galleries that continue to define its cultural identity.

Featured:

From Venice with Love at The Betsy Hotel – @thebetsyhotel

Close to Home – @nsuartmuseum

Beyond the Veil – @mindysolomongallery

Harmony Korine: Perfect Nonsense – @icamiami

Read the full feature at the link in bio.

Perhaps the best way to understand a destination isn’t simply by seeing its landmarks, but by discovering the artists who give it a sense of place.
