2016

Eddie Arroyo's acrylic painting documents the Miami address of Fanm Ayisyen Nan Miyami (Haitian Women in Miami), an organization serving the Haitian diaspora community. The work functions as both a portrait of a specific place and a tribute to the grassroots activism and mutual aid networks that sustain immigrant communities in South Florida. By elevating an ordinary street address to the status of fine art, Arroyo highlights the significance of these community spaces as sites of resistance, support, and cultural preservation.
