Tides and Passages, an ambitious two-chapter presentation of recent and new large-scale new works by Ecuadorian-born, Miami-based artist Edison Peñafiel. Tides and Passages unfolds across two chapters and is produced in partnership with MAD Arts. Chapter I, a major revisioning of Peñafiel's evolving work MARE MAGNVM, debuts in Miami in November 2026 during Locust Projects' Annual Benefit Dinner on November 14 and is the sole project featured during Miami Art Week with a public celebration on Saturday, December 5 from 7-9pm co-hosted by Locust Projects and MAD Arts.

In June 2027, Locust Projects presents Chapter II: De Profundis Clamavi ad Astra (From the Depths I Cried Out to the Stars), a new commission supported with a major grant by VIA Art Fund and produced with technical support from MAD Arts in Dania Beach.

Expanding Penafiel’s cosmology, Chapter II: De Profundis Clamavi ad Astra (From the Depths I Cried Out to the Stars) marks one of the organization's largest presentations of a single artist's work in its 28 years as Miami's longest-running alternative art space. Presented as two large-scale installations, Peñafiel’s multi-chapter work stages migration as movement between worlds—an immersive video, sound, and textile universe.
