Diego Alejandro Waisman: Sunset Colonies

Intimate portraits of South Florida's mobile home communities reveal the delicate balance between resilience and vulnerability in the face of urban change. Diego Alejandro Waisman: Sunset Colonies, on view at the Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum FIU from January 29 through April 19, presents a seven-year photographic exploration of these often-overlooked neighborhoods. Drawing from both the museum's permanent collection and additional works by the artist, the exhibition shares its name with Waisman's published book and examines the impact of economic displacement on these tight-knit communities. Through his lens, the Buenos Aires-born, Miami-based artist documents the complex intersection of memory, identity and home while bringing attention to the ongoing housing affordability crisis. Waisman, whose broader artistic practice investigates themes of social displacement and exile, has garnered international recognition for his thoughtful documentation of communities in transition.
