Saturday, March 21st from 1 – 3pm enjoy PAMM Local Views at the Art Station: Memory in Transit, Weaving the Present with artists Lisu Vega and Marie Franco at the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM). This workshop reimagines weaving as a profound act of connection—a bridge between body and territory, memory and matter, image and time. Using Vicuña’s work within the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) collection as a conceptual anchor, guests will intertwine past and present through textile creation. By transferring curated images onto fabric via the sublimation process, turning technical execution into a symbolic gesture. Here, memory isn’t just a recording—it is a material dialogue where personal experience is imprinted, re-signified, and transformed.

About Lisu Vega
Artist Bio Lisu Vega (b. 1980, Miami, FL) is a multidisciplinary artist born in Miami and raised in Maracaibo, Venezuela. Her practice spans engraving, photography, fiber and textile art, sculpture, and immersive installation, exploring sustainability, migration, memory, and identity through material-driven processes.

About Marie Franco
Marie Franco is a Peruvian-Venezuelan artist based in South Florida and is a 2024 alumna of New World School of the Arts, where she earned a BFA in painting with a minor in art history. Her practice centers painting as a form of storytelling rooted in immigrant lived experience. Through portraiture and depictions of shared economic spaces, particularly flea markets and swap shops, she explores themes of migration, labor, commerce, identity, and community. These informal marketplaces function as sites of cultural exchange, economic survival, and belonging for working-class immigrant communities and are deeply connected to Franco’s personal history. After immigrating to the United States, her mother worked as a vendor at the Fort Lauderdale Swap Shop, a space that continues to shape her practice.
