ENTES - BARRIO BEATS: TALES OF RHYTHM AND DANCE
Show Description:
Barrio Beats: Tales of Rhythm and Dance features new work by internationally recognized artist Entes (Joan Jiménez Suero), whose visual language moves to the pulse of diasporic memory, Afro-Latin identity, and the everyday rhythms of urban life. A celebration of movement, gesture, and community, this solo exhibition offers a vibrant exploration of how sound and dance become forms of connection, remembrance, and resistance.
Known globally for his murals and public works across the Americas, Europe, and the Caribbean, Entes brings his signature style—layered color, gestural forms, and textured surfaces—into a gallery setting with a dynamic presentation of paintings, sculpture, print, and mixed media. His subjects—figures in motion, neighborhood scenes, communal gatherings—express not only cultural vitality, but also the unspoken resilience found in daily life.
At the heart of the exhibition is Calle Ocho, the iconic Miami corridor reimagined as a symbolic crossroads. Through it, Entes weaves together the threads of Afro-Peruvian roots, Caribbean rhythms, and urban experiences into a shared visual tapestry. The barrio he evokes—both real and imagined—becomes a space of migration, memory, and celebration.
Curated by Odette Casamayor-Cisneros and 81C Arts, the exhibition positions movement as a universal language. In Entes’s world, rhythm is not escape—it is transmission. It is joy as resilience. It is the beat of belonging.
