Mundos paralelos: Heather Raquel Phillips/ Yoanny Aldaya
The exhibition “Mundos paralelos” (Parallel Worlds) unites two distinct artists whose practices span photography, video, installation, and performance, yet emanate from different backgrounds. Yoanny Aldaya (b. 1984), born in Havana, Cuba, immigrated to the United States in 2024, while Heather Raquel Phillips (b. 1974), a mixed artist of Puerto Rican descent, grew up in the United States. Despite their disparate origins, both artists converge in their disruption of norms and cultivation of a safe space for difference and individuality.
