Florenciendo en La Obscuridad


  • Ely Center of Contemporary Art 51 Trumbull Street New Haven, CT 06510 USA (map)

Opening Reception: Sunday, January 26, 1-3pm*
Artist talk guided by Marissa Del Toro 2pm

Florenciendo en La Obscuridad is the culminating exhibition of our Fall ‘24 Keyhole Workspace Artists in Residence: Scott Azevedo, Miguel Mendoza & Odette Chavez-Mayo. Serendipity emerged throughout the residency, as the artists found unexpected moments of overlap in their work and life, especially through their shared heritage. Mendoza was born and raised in Mexico, only moving to the States in adulthood; Chavez-Mayo was born in Mexico and raised in Texas, and Azevedo is American-born and has been chipping away at the mysteries of his Mexican grandparents. Despite working in very different aesthetics, the three found connections in their stories and iconography. Florenciendo en La Obscuridad presents their search for family connections - new, old, and imagined.
