Dancing Shoes: A Legacy in Motion, a very special exhibition that celebrates the centennial of legendary Latina icon Celia Cruz. The exhibition will also feature the debut of the five winning designs from MIAMI Vibes 2.0: AI Footwear Design Challenge. The visionary creations of the winning designers Franziska Valerie Hagenauer, Sara Alimohammadi, Amaranta Martinez, Wildy Martinez, Lucia Rabey, and Jessica de Vreeze will be showcased alongside Cruz’s original pieces.
Monday, October 6 marks opening night, where artists Amaranta Martinez (aka Superama), Wildy Martinez, Lucia Rabey and Jessica de Vreeze, along with curator Luis Valenzuela, will host a special event to welcome and inspire all guests to recreate the iconic Celia Cruz cantilever-style shoes. On Monday, October 20, guests are welcome to attend a special celebration in honor of Cruz’s Centennial 100th Birthday (officially October 21), featuring a large birthday cake and a collaborative “birthday card” crafted by guests using art materials. On Monday, October 27, Amaranta Martinez and Wildy Martinez will create live works inspired by Celia Cruz. Guests will also be invited to take part in the Dancing Shoes art activation, where they can share their own stories by decorating shoe-shaped cutout cards.
