2win! Studios presents “Home Town,” a group exhibition that brings together six Miami-based artists whose work reflects on the places, memories, and cultural details that shape life in the city. Installed in a former motel space, the show features ceramics, photography, painting, and sculpture that speak to personal and collective ideas of what it means to call Miami home.

At the center of the room is a large wooden table covered in ceramic heads and figures by Anthony Campos. The sculptures feel handmade, vulnerable, and full of personality—like a chorus of neighborhood ghosts. A larger doll-like figure stands in the middle, marked with a drawing on its chest that hints at mythology, folklore, or family memory. The table feels like an altar or gathering place, paying quiet tribute to the lives that pass through a city like Miami.

On the surrounding walls are framed photographs by David Paez, showing intimate, everyday moments from South Florida. The portraits are vibrant but soft, framed in neon pinks, teals, and oranges that echo Miami’s pastel architecture. Together, they create a portrait of the city that feels both personal and cinematic.

Near the entrance stands a pastel-colored ceramic urn titled Pussycat Club. It’s based on the artwork that once decorated the walls of a now-demolished Miami strip club. The original building was known for its playful, cartoon-like exterior—dancing silhouettes, stars, and cats—which the artist has faithfully recreated in glossy, pastel ceramic. Now that the club is gone, the urn acts as a memorial, preserving a piece of the city’s visual culture that might otherwise be forgotten.

Across the room, handwoven lawn chairs by Jessica Barbosa offer a moment of pause. These chairs—instantly recognizable to almost anyone from Miami—are reimagined through precise, vibrant weaving. Though humble in origin, often found outside homes, barbecues, or roadside hangouts, Barbosa’s versions elevate the familiar form into something quietly poetic. Their presence in the space highlights the beauty in what’s often overlooked, and the shared textures that connect us across neighborhoods and backgrounds.

Together, the works in Home Town create a space full of memory, humor, and longing. The show honors the stories embedded in everyday life and reminds us that cities are made not just of buildings, but of people, rituals, and the objects we choose to hold onto.
