This Is America: Selections from PAMM’s Collection

This Is America: Selections from PAMM’s Collection brings together works from the permanent collection of Pérez Art Museum Miami to reflect on the Semiquincentennial, the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence. Featuring artists including José Bedia, Judy Chicago, Alfredo Jaar, Rashid Johnson, Eddie Arroyo, Thomas Bils, Gonzalo Hernández, and Sandra Ramos, the exhibition spans photography, painting, collage, sculpture, video, and neon to present multiple perspectives on American history and identity. Pérez Art Museum Miami, 1103 Biscayne Blvd., Miami, FL 33132. May 28, 2026 — Runs through May 23, 2027. The exhibition situates national narratives within the cultural dynamics of Miami and traces how artists have responded to moments of crisis and transformation, from the Civil War and World War II to 9/11, the COVID-19 pandemic, and contemporary social and political conditions. It also foregrounds artists and perspectives that have historically been underrepresented in American art, including women, immigrants, Black artists, Indigenous artists, and artists of color.
