MIAMI STREET PRESS: LOVE LIVES HERE POSTCARDS
LOVE LIVES HERE POSTCARDS operates through a relational aesthetics framework in which the artwork emerges through social exchange rather than a fixed object. Part of Miami Street Press, a mobile printmaking project, takes artmaking into community spaces where people gather—art clubs, afterschool programs, multipurpose community hubs and artist-led nonprofit spaces. Using simple printmaking tools, the project invites participants to gather, reflect, and create together through shared acts of making, conversation, and care. Supported by The Ellies – Oolite Arts Awards, each activation centers the theme Love Lives Here, exploring love in families, friendships, and communities.
Participants move through a series of creative stations—writing reflections, printing backgrounds and symbols, and selecting word plates—to create postcards that can travel out into the world or remain as part of a growing community archive. Meaning is generated in the encounter itself, as temporary communities form through the acts of making, sharing, and witnessing one another.
Miami Street Press launched its first activation in December 2025 and continues with pop-ups in Homestead, Perrine, Hollywood, and Hialeah in the winter and spring of 2026.

“I came alone. In my family, love means finding points of connection even when we disagree.
Hey, I am not done being angry not every day. You left a big gaping hole in me and in the world. The anger though, that stems from not knowing what o do with the love I set aside for you”
