Cristine Brache‘s Cristine’s Secret Garden solo exhibition, was on at Miami’s Locust Projects, which ran February 13 to March 30.
With enigmatic yet familiarly domestic assemblages, the work pulls the viewer into the artist’s memories of her childhood in Miami, where the homes of her grandmother and other Caribbean-American neighbours were populated with Orisha Shrines of the Santeria religion.
Brache draws on her relationship to the rituals and iconography of Santeria, while the exhibition interweaves home life, colonial histories and rituals together, along with the family stories and female figures of her upbringing. As stated in the press release, the show explores “boundaries of private and public space in relation to womanhood” while centring around the porcelain shrines of the maternal figures in the artist’s life.**
Cristine Brache’s exhibition Cristine’s Secret Garden, was on view at Locust Projects, Miami from February 13 to March 30, 2019.
