Celebrate International Women’s Month with us at our Opening Reception Friday March 6, 2026 from 6PM – 9 PM. We will be exhibiting WOMEN OF VISION: A PAIR OF US curated by Sophia Ballesteros and in hand with Laundromat Art Space. The artworks will be on view in at Laundromat Art Space 185 NE 59th St, Miami, FL 33137.
Taking its cue from Emily Dickinson’s poem I’m Nobody! Who are you?, this year’s Women of Vision survey reflects on the quiet power of being seen without spectacle. Dickinson’s poem resists public performance while celebrating recognition through connection.
I’m nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there’s a pair of us – don’t tell!
They’d advertise – you know!
How dreary to be somebody!
How public like a frog
To tell one’s name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
The exhibition brings together eleven local artists: Bella Cardim Faro, Denise Treizman, Devora Perez, Donna Ruff, Gerbi Tsesarskaia, Julia Zurilla, Kelly Tapia-Chuning, Lisu Vega, Michelle Rusinek, Roxana Barba, and Smita Sen. The twelfth presence completes the work – the viewer, the curator, anyone who enters into a relationship with what is offered. Each encounter forms a pair, activating the work through attention rather than announcement.
To be called “nobody” here is not an erasure, but a position of integrity. These artists create from conviction, not for external gain or praise. The idea is quietly ironic – each artist is admired and deeply respected within the community – echoing Dickinson’s own oxymoron, where being “nobody” paradoxically becomes a form of belonging.
The notion of “nobody” also gestures toward the invisible labor of women; creative, emotional, and cultural work so often overlooked. In this exhibition, that invisibility is not corrected through noise, but honored. Women of Vision: There’s a Pair of Us invites recognition as a shared act, where visibility emerges through relationship rather than spectacle.
