Like the individual stones that make up her great grandfather’s house, we are connected by something intrinsic and indispensable, something larger than ourselves.

Yo vengo de todas partes, y hacia todas partes voy is a site-specific, immersive installation by Cuban-born, Miami-based multidisciplinary artist Amanda Linares. Linares’ installation centers around notions of belonging and identity, recurrent themes in her practice that she explores through the intentional use of materials. Ideated and inspired by her discovery of a house in Asturias, Spain belonging to her paternal great grandfather, Linares’ installation is a highly personal exploration of her family history and ancestry, and how unearthing parts of our past can shape and complicate our understanding of who we are and where we come from.
