Weathering: A Living Garden of Reclaimed Natural Wonders

Textiles, ecology, and transformation come together in a site-specific installation that reimagines nature through reclaimed materials and sensory storytelling.

Weathering: A Living Garden of Reclaimed Natural Wonders, on view October 18 through November 18 at the Miami Beach Botanical Garden, presents Miami-born artist Alissa Alfonso’s latest body of work. Known for her environmentally conscious practice, Alfonso creates botanical soft sculptures and textile landscapes using upcycled, hand-dyed fabrics that evoke local flora and endangered ecosystems. Blending art, activism, and community engagement, her work invites reflection on cycles of growth, decay, and renewal within the natural world. An opening reception takes place Sunday, October 19 from 1 to 4 p.m.
