“BACK TO THE ROOTS,” a solo exhibition by artist
Marisa Caichiolo, envisioned by Homeira Goldstein
and curated by the Manhattan Beach Arts Center.
“Back to the Roots” explores themes of heritage, migration, and memory, intertwining stories from Caichiolo’s European and South American ancestry. Drawing inspiration from her grandmother’s needlework, the exhibition uses textiles and mixed media to evoke a sense of family history, cultural blending, and the passage of time.
The artwork reflects on themes of identity and belonging, inviting viewers to connect with their own personal histories and shared human experiences across generations and borders.
Marisa Caichiolo is an accomplished artist and curator with a PhD in art history and psychology from the University of Buenos Aires. She has exhibited internationally at major biennials and institutions, including the Beijing Biennial, Sharjah Contemporary Art Museum, and MUSA Museum in Mexico.
Caichiolo’s recent projects examine personal and collective memory using diverse materials and multimedia installations.
Back to the Roots will be exhibited at the Manhattan Beach Art Center, located at 1560 Manhattan Beach Boulevard, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266. The event is free and open to the public.
