Melting from the pot into the fire
Artists of color examine the notion of safety and security and why the idea of the multicultural melting pot may not work anymore

It makes sense that art from the islands comes to Diaspora Vibe Gallery in the Design District. I've been exposed to so many Caribbean artists by coming here. I've met artists here from St Martin, Trinidad, Jamaica and Cuba. Miami is definitely a hub for the Caribbean

Diaspora Vibe is to be congratulated for presenting an Asian perspective here in Miami, where the conversation about immigrant identity revolves almost entirely around the geography of Latin America.

Final Fridays as they have become known, are the ultimate in artist chic where word of mouth draws the cognoscenti once a month for six months.

Gordon Wallace is clearly the catalyst in constant motion seemingly always cajoling, cheering on, she works the crowd at the openings.

There's no other place in Miami, that offers so much. You get the entire package here, art, music, delicious food and poetry.
Allison Klein, Metro Miami/Miami Herald.
After one long summer in Miami, everyone is transformed.

"Brave New World" embraces the power of objects celebrating individual initiative and vision. In materials, and some works by the six artists here are linked to the decorative arts, but they move into the thoughtful and nonutilltarian range.

Wensley has mapped out the structures as if they were gated communities observed from the window of an airplane, seemingly suggesting that Americans can no longer feel safe feel secure in their own homes.
Miami New Times
Rosie Gordon-Wallace, long a Miami pioneer in discovering emerging Caribbean and Latin artists, is riding the Basel momentum in hopes of bringing wider Caribbean artists and the immigrant experience. Gordon-Wallace has the pulse of what is happening on the local scene and in the Caribbean region. Spring said - She's smart to get herself and her artists to take advantage of Art Basel.
Miami Herald
This is not a typlical commerical gallery space. I have a sence of urgency to leave behind a legacy where art is sold; the physical work and their ideas housed.
Caribbean Today
This incubator space is documenting the experiences of those of us living in the diaspora, the immigrant experience, which does not have any boundaries of color, curly hair, long hair, short hair, culture.
