About Rebecca White (b. 1985, American) Rebecca White works in diverse media, including painting, fiber, and participatory / interactive works; the conceptual underpinnings of her practice frequently connect to mythology, energy work, and esoteric notions such as alchemy and imagined languages. Her work often speaks to issues that have societal relevance, centering the impact these occurrences have on our collective human spirit. She frequently incorporates found natural materials, such as bones, wild clay, branches, into her artworks and installations. |
After a brief guided free movement exploration to open the body’s energies, we welcome you to make marks using your choice of graphite or marker on paper, or simple textile manipulations like ripping, scrunching, layering or folding, or earth pigments on textiles using a mineral pigment and soybean ink ‘mud’.With soundscapes and our intuition as our guides, we’ll make marks and then rest deeply in a live sound immersion featuring wind gong, crystal singing pyramid, wayunki and gentle shakers.
Please bring any textiles or fibers you would like to repurpose, along with, scissors, brushes, sponges or stamps, and a yoga mat or blanket for the sound bath.

About Kátia Bandeira (b. 1968, Brazilian)
Kátia Bandeira de Mello is a poet, fiction writer and visual artist born in Rio de Janeiro. Her figurative piece is connected to the Theater of the Absurd and inspired by Franz Kafka’s A Hunger Artist short story as well as elements taken from the texts of Beckett, Camus, Beauvoir and Saramago. The prevalent issue of aesthetics and hedonism in Miami, and the world at large contrasts with the food crisis, the hunger versus obesity paradox that assails the twenty first century in an unprecedented wave. |
The Contemporary Art Modern Project’s 7th Edition of Women Pulling at The Threads of Social Discourse: Don’t be Absurd. The exhibition opened on Friday, Oct.17 with an artist and collector preview. Over 100 years ago Søren Aabye Kierkegaard set the stage for society to look beyond one’s own concerns with the start of Existentialism. Absurdism emerges after the Second World War as the world grappled with the sense of the meaninglessness of life due to an overwhelming indifference for humanity and the suffering of others. For this year’s edition of: Women Pulling at The Threads of Social Discourse, and Guests: Don’t Be Absurd, the exploration of Absurdism is done through the hands of fiber artists. Artists were asked to refer to works by: Albert Camus, Franz Kafka, Simone De Beauvoir, Samuel Beckett, and Jose Saramago and interpret the writings into circular fiber responses. This exhibition is on view October 17 — December 20, 2025. The run of the exhibition will include several in-gallery art talks, workshops and conversations about fiber art with both artists and curators. CAMP Gallery is located in North Miami at 791-793 NE 125 Street in Miami, Florida 33161. The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 11am – 5pm. Private visits can be scheduled by emailing hello@thecampgallery.com or calling 786-953-8807.
