I Am Soil. My Tears Are Water: María Magdalena Campos-Pons

Curated by Faridah Folawiyo, I Am Soil. My Tears Are Water is a solo exhibition by María Magdalena Campos-Pons that explores diaspora and interconnectedness through the flora and fauna of Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. Hibiscus, sugarcane, and guava leaves—plants rich in cultural significance—appear across painting, sculpture, and an immersive installation created in collaboration with musician Kamaal Malak.

Blending nature and spirituality, Campos-Pons weaves a narrative of migration, memory, and the deep ties between landscapes and histories. By exploring the human’s interconnectedness with flora and fauna, the artist weaves a narrative of migration, memory, and the deep ties between landscapes and histories.
