Time Travel to Miami in the 1970s at the Remaking Miami Photography Exhibit

Alex Marrero, Miami photographer and culture enthusiast is taking a trip through time at Remaking Miami: a photography exhibition featuring a collection of photographer, editor and philanthropist Josefinana Tarafa’s artwork.

Alex Marrero Miami Art Exhibit

Remaking Miami by Josefina Tarafa is a collection of thirty posthumous prints sourced from the photographer, editor and philanthropist’s archive of photographs.  The exhibition features stunning snapshots of Miami during the 1970s.  Tarafa’s photos depict everything from city hustle and bustle to easy living and everyday life in the Magic City of the ‘70s.  A poignant time in Miami’s cultural history, this era encapsulates the exceptional transformation of the Magic City during this time.  As someone who lived in the area at this time, Alex Marrero can’t help but to feel a sense of nostalgia at this exhibition.

Josefina Tarafa was a photographer, editor and philanthropist who worked as a documentarian.  When she arrived in Miami, Florida, Tarafa found a sense of identity in her new home by photographing the architecture, people and culture of the Magic City.  Her artistic vision inspired Alex Marrero, fellow local creative.  As someone who shares a similar background story to Tarafa, he feels an inherent sense of connection to her, both as an artist and as a Miamian. 

Josefina Tarafa’s Remaking Miami will be available for viewing from 10 AM to 3 PM, from now until December 13, 2023.  The photography collection is on display at the Museum of Art and Design (MOAD) at MDC’s Eduardo J. Padron Campus, Monday through Wednesday and the second Saturday of each month.

Alex Marrero Miami Street Style Photography

Learn how to capture motion and the essence of movement in this one-of-a-kind photography workshop.  Capturing Motion is a street-style photography workshop in Miami that is set to take place on Sunday, November 26, 2023.  With the guidance and vision of local photographers and creatives, budding new artists will have the opportunity to capture stellar snapshots of breakdancers and models in motion.  It isn’t every day Alex Marrero has the chance to capture motion.  Add the unique element of street-style aesthetics into the mix, and this certainly seems like a unique opportunity to Marrero!  At Capturing Motion (presented by Save The Creatives Foundation), participants will be able to capture the life and light of models and dancers with their lenses.  This session is interactive; meaning, you will have the chance to take photos and receive real-time feedback from professionals in the business.  

Alex Marrero, Miami based photographer, encourages new artists to embrace out of the box workshops, like Capturing Motion: Street Style Photography.  Even if you envision your creative talents leaning in one direction (such as event photography, wedding and engagement photoshoots, family portraits, pet portraits, etc.), it is always a good idea to try out new styles.  At Capturing Motion, Marrero looks forward to improving his techniques in capturing sharp images of subjects in motion in outdoor environments.
