SUNISTRA (the sinister side of the sunshine state) merges “sunshine” with “sinistra,” the Latin root of the word “sinister.” This duality encapsulates Florida’s idyllic allure juxtaposed with its more complex undercurrents. This marks the fifth iteration of our semi-annual open call exhibition at Tempus Projects.
