Grits | A Documentary Short by Aaron J. Jackson, 2026
Overtown - Miami, FL
Runtime: 18 minutes, 57 seconds. 

Works by @unkleclarence 
Curated by @laurynn_l
Produced by @macayado | @quiethours.space

From the family photographs and memories that inspired the work to the conversations happening throughout the room, the night became a reflection of what Grits meant beyond the photographs themselves.

In this scene, Arthur Alexander reflects on what he took away from the work. Clarence’s decision to stay true to his family, his roots, and the things that make him who he is. In a city like Miami, where so many different experiences and backgrounds come together, that connection to where you come from can mean even more.

That idea sits at the heart of Grits: knowing where you come from, holding onto it, and allowing those experiences to shape what you create.

Thank you for everyone that help participated and contributed in this beautiful short:

A year ago, I got the chance to document the closing night of @unkleclarence ‘Grits’ exhibition curated by @laurynn_l and hosted by @quiethours.space 

More than anything, I wanted the film to feel like being in the room, hearing the stories, seeing the family, feeling the energy, and understanding the memories behind the work.

What started as a documentation of an exhibition became a small piece about Clarence’s family, the stories passed down, the memories of his great-grandmother’s home, and the roots that continue to shape who he is and how he sees the world. Through conversations with Clarence, Lauryn, and Max from Quiet Hours Gallery, we were able to hear different perspectives on the work and what the exhibition meant to them. 

I wanted the film to capture more than the photographs.  The conversations, the family, the reactions, and the energy surrounding the closing of the exhibition.

Turns out Tianjin and Florida aren’t actually that far apart...

They’re just one exhibition away.

Please join us next Sunday for the opening of Tianjin, Florida, Cici McMonigle’s debut solo show with Sabbatikal and the inaugural presentation of Sabbatikal Projects.

I’ve had the privilege of watching this exhibition take shape over the past few months, and I’m so excited to finally share it with all of you. Cici has created a world that’s playful and immersive. I have a feeling this is going to be one of those exhibitions people remember.

Huge thanks to Cici for trusting us with this project, and to Max Machado and Quiet Hours (@quiethours.space) for all of the collaboration, generosity, and care that helped bring it to life. Also, a special thank you to Emily Vitar and Ben Smith for their incredible support. The best shows have a village making it all possible.

Hope to see you there.

🗓 Sunday, August 2
⏰ 5–8 PM
