Vamonos pa' la guagua! / by Crystal Pearl

If you’re in Miami, make sure to take a drive (or ride the bus) by Bayside to catch one of my pieces! I’m very thankful to have been selected as SaveArtSpace’s “Motherhood” artist for the month of July and August, 2026. Thank you to their guest curator, Didi Contreras, for understanding my weird visions and choosing my work. the diptych, Manos en la Masa, is from my forthcoming book release, Gilded Revival, available on presale now through Burrow Press.

Located on Biscayne Boulevard and NE 4 Street, Manos en La Masa, will be on view from July 17 through August 9, 2026. As a native Miamian, it is incredibly meaningful to share my work with the city through a venue like this. I spent so many afternoons aimlessly roaming the Bayside area as a teenager, letting the visuals of Miami seep into my system. To think that maybe, just maybe, my photographs might be seeping into the next generation’s visual lexicon is too much for words.
