March 30, 2024 — Supermarket’s First Exhibition
Migracíon de Jarana
Joan Jimenez
On March 30, 2024, we hosted Joan Jimenez’s first solo exhibition in the States: “Migracíon de Jarana.”
The exhibition served as a welcoming introduction between Miami and Joan (originally from Lima, Peru) and an opportunity for people to first connect with his fine art practice instead of his street art, which he’s known for worldwide under Entes.
The show embodied his decades-long art practice, within and outside of his studio. Though characteristic, bombastic portraits of Afro-Peruanos in moments of peace, contemplation, and celebration, we were reminded that the complicated parts of our identities yield beauty and joy whether we’re home, or far from it.
