Laura Castro is an artist, researcher, and independent curator who lives and works in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Through her practice, she examines notions of identity and the relationship with the past produced by historical discourses from the Caribbean territory. Her work is rooted in an archival sensibility— one that mines both official records and inherited cultural memory together with her own experiences, to interrogate how dominant historical narratives are constructed, internalized, and performed.

Sofía del Mar Collins (b. 1995, San Juan, Puerto Rico) considers painting an alchemical process of flood and surrender from which worldmaking unfolds. Blurring differences between craft and fine art mediums, textile processes, such as sewing, embroidery, dyeing with natural pigments, and weaving make their presence throughout her practice. Recent solo exhibitions include Pleno vuelo inconsistente as part of the Projects section curated by Carla Acevedo Yates in ARTBO 2025 (Bogotá, Colombia), To turn into rain and fall again at Uffner&Liu previously Rachel Uffner Gallery (New York, 2024), Nadie en casa at Souvenir 154/PerezPuig, San Juan, PR (2023).
