# Event Details - **Event Name**: What The Hands Remember Exhibition Opening - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 16 Jul, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Thu, 16 Jul, 2026 at 09:00 pm - **Event Description**: An immersive exhibition transforming the gallery into a living archive of thread, memory, motion, film, and material art.About this EventWhat The Hands Rememberthe exhibitionIn What the Hands Remember, the gallery transforms into a living, breathing archive of thread, memory, and motion. This deeply immersive exhibition blurs the boundaries between documentary cinema and material art, creating a space where floating, large-scale films live alongside physical artworks — allowing the screen’s light and shadow to immediately meet tactile reality.Captured through the nuanced lens of Emmy and Pulitzer Prize-winning visual storyteller Taimy Alvarez, the exhibition centers on six distinct documentaries. These projections envelop visitors in the intimate, rhythmic worlds of masterful fiber artists Yochi Y. Avin, Marina Font, Karla Kantorovich, Magda Love, Aurora Molina, and Lisu Vega. Bound by their shared experiences as South Florida-based women with diverse international and immigrant roots, these artists speak a unified, unspoken language.As the films surround the space, viewers are invited to follow the hypnotic movement of the artists’ hands as they stitch, pull, layer, and weave. It is an exploration of how memory lives within the body, translating homelands and histories into physical form to reveal deeply wrought stories of identity and cultural lineage. Standing within reach as tangible extensions of the rhythmic practice unfolding on screen, the physical pieces offer a stunning, textured echo of the cinematic narratives projected onto the floating screens.Made possible with support from the Broward County Cultural Division.Support has been provided by the following Funds at the Community Foundation of Broward:Helen and Frank Stoykov Charitable Endowment FundMary and Alex Mackenzie Community Impact FundSpecial Thanks to Marc Aptakin and the MAD Arts Team for your generous support.Admission to What The Hands Remember is FREE during the Opening Reception on July 16 at MAD Arts.
