Exhibition Opening Night: Juan William Chavez: Art Pollination

Next date: Friday, October 10, 2025 | 06:30 PM to 08:00 PM

Juan William Chávez: Art Pollination presents the social practice of artist Juan William Chávez. Rooted in a holistic view of aesthetics, ecology, ritual, craft, labor, activism, and his Peruvian heritage, Art Pollination is a multimedia installation featuring drawings, embroidery, zines, artifacts, and ephemera that reflect a specific archaeology of place and explore how the environment fosters creativity through the cross-pollination of art and ideas. 

The exhibition showcases dozens of artworks and ideas that serve as “pollinators” of art and well-being, rooted in the concept of generosity. Through a gathering of material culture and artifacts—symbolic tools and remnants from experiences, production, and human exchange—the exhibition presents a year of workshops in Orlando as intentional gestures of cultural kindness.
