Twin Photographers Elliot and Erick Jiménez Present 'El Monte' Exhibition at Pérez Art Museum Miami

The exhibition 'El Monte' at Pérez Art Museum Miami marks the museum debut of twin photographers Elliot and Erick Jiménez, Miami-born artists of Cuban-American heritage. Running from August 28, 2025, to March 22, 2026, the show explores Lucumí spiritual traditions through staged photographs, sculptures, and installations. The work draws inspiration from Cuban ethnographer Lydia Cabrera's 1954 book of the same name, examining themes of diaspora, syncretism, and spiritual cosmology. The exhibition features anonymous 'shadow figures' and references to orishas, creating a hybrid chapel-forest environment that reflects the artists' personal connection to Afro-Cuban religious practices.
