Our story.

Inside the Tower Hotel, our studios have become more than workspaces — they’re a home for creative energy, shared stories, and community.
This is where stories meet studio walls, and where the Tower Hotel becomes a vessel for art, memory, and possibility.
We speak about the beginnings of our journey here and the community that continues to grow in this oasis of creativity.

"I'M FROM EVERYWHERE"
Installation, Performance and Immersive Activity

By: Anna Biondo and Flor Godward

Video: @polm0_studio

I’m not from here, I’m not from there, I’m from everywhere.”
The Yellow House brings together migration across borders and the body as a home that travels with the person. It explores how identity and belonging evolve through movement, shaped by the places people leave behind, the memories they carry, and the new roots they grow. by @towerstudiosmiami

I’m very happy to invite you to Between Here and Home, my solo exhibition at Barry University.

This exhibition brings together works that explore home not simply as a place, but as something we carry with us through memory, the body, family, migration, and the objects and rituals that connect us to where we come from.

Through painting, embroidery, fiber, sculptural forms, and installation, the works move between what is remembered and what is reconstructed.

The work also considers the complexities of family, the people who shape us, the relationships that change over time, and the presence of those who are no longer with us. Loss and distance become part of the landscape of home, alongside love, memory, and the desire to hold on to what remains.

What a beautiful afternoon surrounded by extraordinary women artists and truly inspiring human beings!

Today we gathered to prepare for our upcoming HISPAFEST 2026 exhibition at TOWER STUDIO in Little Havana, opening October 4. Stay tuned! It will be a Sunday brunch and guided tour of calle 8 ending at The Tower Studios. 5 amazing artists Gretel Capriles, Flor Godward, Elisa Benedetti, Angela Bolaños, and Agustine de Luciano will open their studies to welcome other artists and all guests !!!!

I was also so happy to spend this special time at Agustín’s studio, together with the incredible women artists, friends, and Agustín himself. These encounters remind us that art is not only about what we create, but also are connections, generosity, and the support we share with one another.

Women supporting women, artists supporting artists, and a community coming together through art.

I can’t wait to see this beautiful exhibition come to life!

A new chapter begins.

For a long time, I’ve wanted to create a space to share more than finished artworks. A place for the process, the ideas, the materials, the books on my desk, and the quiet moments that shape the work before it ever leaves the studio.

That’s what Archivo Verde is.

A monthly letter from my studio.

The first issue goes live tomorrow. I hope you’ll join me. 🌿 by @towerstudiosmiami

Four interpretations of a single image.
What began as a photograph I took of the cedars in Lebanon slowly became something else.
Not an attempt to represent what I saw, but to stay with what I felt.
Through the process, the image shifts, softens, almost disappears, and something more honest begins to emerge.
Something that feels more like mine.
One piece has already found its home. “Cedars of Lebanon Series”. Come visit my studio @towerstudiosmiami #contemporaryart #abstractart #processbasedart #visualpoetry #mixedmediaart taken in Lebanon by @towerstudiosmiami

Excited to share this new artwork with my online community. Created for The Family of the Artist. a 2025 group exhibition curated by @alunartfoundation at the Tower Hotel in Little Havana (July 18- November 8, 2025). Featuring 24 artists, this intervention explores personal narratives, memory, and familiar bonds through diverse media.

Beneath His Shade
Textile assemblage, acrylic and embroidered thread
66x47
2025

Beneath His Shade is a meditation on memory, heritage, and the ways care and protection take root across generations.
At the heart of this work is the enduring presence of my grandfather—a steady, grounding force and a father figure whose quiet strength shaped my early understanding of love and stability. In times of uncertainty, he was a constant source of solace, embodying patience, generosity, and the unspoken language of protection. His memory is invoked here as that of a tree: steadfast and sheltering, deeply rooted yet open to the changing winds.
The American sycamore tree, with its peeling bark and capacity for renewal, mirrors this inheritance of endurance. Its layered surface, revealing new skin beneath the old, echoes the layered histories within the textiles themselves—histories of migration, adaptation, and the slow cultivation of belonging.

LIQUID ARCHIVE
Installation, 2025

Liquid Archive explores memory as a living, shifting process.

Water drops rest upon a resin surface, leaving subtle traces that evoke roots, invisible currents, and the ways in which life anchors itself.

Beneath the resin, a submerged photograph preserves a suspended instant , like a memory that continues to breathe.
Small mirrors embedded in the bark invite reflection, reminding us that memory is never fixed. It transforms with light, time, and the gaze of the viewer.

Water, resin, tree, and light converge here as a fragile, living archive — one that flows and reorganizes itself continuously.

The installation remains at Tower Studios for one more week before being dismantled.

Art has always been part of who she is.
Meet Gretel Capriles @gretelcaprilesart, Venezuelan artist, photographer, proud JCT4Education mom, and creator of Tower Studios Miami @towerstudiosmiami , located in the historic Tower Hotel on Calle 8. 🎨✨

Gretel studied Graphic Design and Photography at the University of Bridgeport @ubridgeport, Connecticut, and from an early age developed a deep connection to abstract photography. Over time, her artistic journey has evolved into mixed media and acrylic painting, where she blends photography with paint as an extension of emotion, memory, and lived experience.

Currently based in Key Biscayne, Gretel works from her studio on Calle 8 in Miami, a collaborative and welcoming creative space where multiple artists showcase their work. Visitors are invited to stop by, experience the art firsthand, meet the artists, and purchase original pieces.

We are honored to showcase her work at the JCT4Education 4U Innovation Center, where the art will rotate every two months, creating space not only for her creations but also for the artists she supports and uplifts through her community.

A beautiful reminder that art connects, inspires, and builds meaningful community.

🌬This is us!🌳 Rootbound: What the Elements Remember

Art Basel Week 2025 | Little Havana, Miami By Agustín Di Luciano, Gretel Capriles & Flor Godward

In the heart of Little Havana, a quiet courtyard becomes an open-air vessel for reflection, transformation, and shared imagination. Rootbound: What the Elements Remember is a site-specific installation that unfolds around a living mango tree—a natural axis connecting four distinct artistic practices through an ecology of light, sound, fabric, and gesture.

The installation meditates on the intertwined notions of migration, belonging, and ancestral memory, translating them into a sensorial field where natural and digital materials coalesce. Each participating artist contributes a unique portal into this continuum: a dialogue between elemental forces and contemporary technologies, between what is inherited and what is becoming.

The work’s title—Rootbound—evokes both constraint and connection: the tension between being contained and being nurtured by the very roots that sustain life. Here, the elements themselves—earth, air, fire, and water—act as witnesses, carriers of memory and transformation. The installation invites visitors to move slowly, to listen to the murmurs beneath surfaces, and to feel how threads, frequencies, and rays of light trace the invisible bonds that link bodies to landscapes, and individuals to collective histories.

Through immersive interventions—virtual and tactile, organic and constructed—the artists transform the courtyard into a living organism, a breathing archive of human and elemental memory. As day turns to night, shifting light and sound activate the space, blurring the boundaries between technology and ritual, presence and echo.

Ultimately, Rootbound: What the Elements Remember is less an exhibition than a temporal convergence—an act of re-rooting in a city shaped by movement and multiplicity. It is a reminder that the elements remember what we often forget: that everything, even in flux, remains connected.
