Tertulia Nights

Explore the intersection of art, ideas and community engagement in an intimate evening setting at the Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum FIU. Tertulia Nights will take place on Thursday, March 13, offering attendees an opportunity to connect with creative voices and thought leaders.

This monthly gathering, held every second Thursday, creates space for meaningful dialogue and creative exchange between artists, scholars and community members. The March edition features Miami-based artist Diego Waisman, whose work is currently on display in the Sunset Colonies exhibition at the Frost Art Museum.

During the event, Waisman will be joined by art historian Dr. Alpesh K. Patel and sociocultural anthropologist Dr. Louis H. Marcelin, both contributors to Waisman's monograph. Together, they will discuss the artist's work and his seven-year documentary project focusing on South Florida's mobile home communities. Following the discussion, attendees can enjoy a reception where they'll have the opportunity to meet Waisman in person.

Tertulia Nights aims to amplify diverse perspectives and foster innovative approaches to community engagement through art. Each month features a different artist, ensuring fresh conversations and new insights with every gathering.

This event is free and open to the public through generous support from the Art Bridges Foundation.
