The Smell of Banana Flowers

Opening reception for The Smell of Banana Flowers, an exhibition curated by Priscilla Aleman that reimagines the tropics as an ecological and metaphysical force capable of transmitting memory and transformation. About The Smell of Banana Flowers October 29 - November 22, 2026 Opening Reception: October 29th, 6-8pm The Smell of Banana Flowers, curated by Priscilla Aleman, reimagines the tropics not only as an ecological force, but as a metaphysical conduit—capable of transmitting memory, intuition, and transformation across generations. Rooted in personal mythology inspired by the artist's grandfather—a Cuban horticulturist shaped by tropical cultivation—this exhibition unfolds as a bio-mythology: a living narrative shaped by ancestral memory, plant knowledge, and acts of transformation. The work explores intersections of ecology, diaspora, ritual, and embodied memory to create a shared environment where sculpture, performance, and installation intertwine—transforming the gallery into a living garden of collective myth and material storytelling.
