As the culminating moment of Miami Beach Pride’s multi-day celebration, this year’s parade carries a bold and resonant theme: “Pride Is Infinite.” In a time marked by heightened political tension and ongoing challenges to LGBTQ+ rights across the nation, this year’s parade is more than a celebration, it is a declaration. Pride Is Infinite speaks to the enduring strength, resilience, and boundless spirit of the LGBTQ+ community. It is a reminder that our identities, our love, and our collective power cannot be legislated away or diminished.

The 2023 Tony-winner for best musical, based on David Lindsay-Abaire's play of the same title, revolves around a teenage girl named Kimberly Levaco, who suffers from a condition that rapidly accelerates the aging process. Before she has had a chance to venture forth into the world as an adult, she finds herself turning into an old woman. Her story, unfolding like a dark fairy tale, is as whimsical as it is piercing. Yet the effect is powerfully life-affirming in the way it reminds audiences of the preciousness of the time we have at hand.

"The Zionist: A Family Storm"

Miami New Drama

Thursday, April 9 through Sunday, May 3

A prominent Jewish family, fractured by the politics and aftermath of October 7, gathers for a fragile reunion at a luxury Caribbean resort.

In this urgent and deeply human world premiere from acclaimed playwright S. Asher Gelman (Afterglow), The Zionists: A Family Storm lays bare how identity, politics, and history can tear families apart—and the struggle to hold them together in an increasingly divided world.

Mindy Solomon Gallery

March 7-April 18

• Jack Kabangu: I Have No Body, I Am Somebody

Featuring a series of portraits rendered in his iconic, self-taught style, Kabangu introduces a dynamic and psychologically charged visual language. His figures — elongated, introspective, and subtly fragmented — exist in spaces that feel both intimate and unsettled, mirroring the layered nature of identity and displacement.'

• Sydnie Jimenez: Stars in Your Eyes

The exhibition title, Stars in Your Eyes, serves as a linguistic pivot. It evokes the shimmering energy of passion and ambition while simultaneously nodding to the disorienting sensation of "seeing stars” — the dazed confusion that often follows a blow to the senses. For Jimenez, the eyes are not merely anatomical; they are the "windows to the soul" and the primary vessels for our perception of the universe.

• Natalia Arbelaez and Daniela Gomez Paz: Cuerpos cósmicos, between the earth and the skies / entre los cielos y la tierra

In this exhibition, themes of death, spirituality, and the cosmos intertwine with reflections on the physical body and its intimate relationship to the earth. Through distinct yet complementary practices, Arbelaez and Gomez Paz explore how histories — both personal and collective — are embedded in material, gesture, and form.

Mindy Solomon Gallery, 848 NW 22 St., Miami
