CULTURAL CAMARADERIE

Tara Long: La Esquinita (little corner)

Friday, November 21, 2025 at 12pm

Locust Projects

297 NE 67th Street, Miami FL 33138

La Esquinita (little corner) is the first major solo show by Miami artist and musician Tara Long.

Long transforms Locust Project’s exterior, lobby, and exhibition space and features the quirky and surreal “Sweets and Souvenirs,” a shop filled with more than 500 tempting mini sculptures for sale. From the exterior “bodega,” visitors are led from the “Sweet and Souvenirs” shop embodying Miami’s seductive facades to a secret door behind the cashier counter which leads into a “grand hall.”

In the Main Gallery, a towering 20 ft. wide by 12 ft. high cake serves as a stage illuminated by a massive moon lightbox hung overhead.

Blurring the line between confection and commentary, La Esquinita draws sharp parallels between Florida’s Big Sugar land grab in the early 20th century and today’s gold rush-like influx of Big Tech capital into Miami — contemplating how both industries sweeten – and hollow – local culture and impact South Florida’s landscape.
