Join us for the Opening of Miguel Horn & Calo Rosa: Memory, Movement & Maroon. This special exhibition viewing will be opened with an ArtistsNConversation presentation with the featured artists, Calo Rosa and Miguel Horn.

In Memory, Miguel Horn’s Growth Rings series transforms the quiet violence of time into something tactile—each woodcut groove a record of his father’s illness, each fracture a testament to immigrant endurance. His Statue of Liberty torch, splintered yet luminous, becomes a metaphor for promises deferred but not forgotten.

Meanwhile, Calo Rosa’s neon-bright synapses and street-art bravado electrify Movement, mapping the chaotic beauty of survival. His work pulses with the rhythms of San Salvador, where resilience is coded in spray-paint strokes and the hum of diasporic memory.

Together, they ask: What does it mean to be Maroon—not just in color, but in spirit?

Come witness the unspoken dialogue between two visionaries: one who etches time into various elements, the other who wires memory into light. Horn & Rosa isn’t an exhibition—it’s a reckoning.
