@maritzamelania, the incredibly talented Associate Curator at @pamm (and a woman with a fabulous sense of fashion!), shows up unapologetically in every aspect of her life. A true go-getter, she follows her vision fearlessly, inspiring so many of us to do the same.

In this episode, Maritza shares her journey from working part-time at PAMM’s front desk to landing her dream job as curator at Miami’s flagship art museum. We talk about her approach to curating as an act of service and her recent work on the stunning @elliotanderick exhibition. Beyond her art world experience, Maritza opens up about what it really means to be unapologetic, why she doesn’t believe in impostor syndrome, and how she hopes to inspire the next generation of women in the art world.

Hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did! Now available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts ❤️‍🔥

✨ Selection Committee Announcement ✨

MIRA Art Fair is pleased to announce Maritza M. Lacayo, Associate Curator at Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), as part of the Selection Committee for MIRA 2026.

Through her curatorial practice at PAMM, Maritza has developed exhibitions that expand the conversation around contemporary art while bringing thoughtful attention to emerging and underrepresented voices. Her work reflects a sharp curatorial vision and a deep commitment to artists whose practices shape the cultural landscape of our time.

Alongside her exhibition work, she has contributed to important art publications and artist monographs, overseen the production of museum catalogues, and collaborated with institutions such as the YoungArts Foundation as both mentor and curator.

I am deeply honored to announce that “HOMECOMING (Before Time, the First Migrations),” the namesake painting of my exhibition at Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), has been acquired into the museum’s permanent collection. This acquisition is especially meaningful, as the work speaks deliberately to the region’s geography, history, and its profound connections to Caribbean and Latin American diasporic journeys.

The process for the painting “HOMECOMING (Before Time, the First Migrations)” began in my Brooklyn studio and concluded through a series of live painting sessions at the museum. Under the brilliant curation of Maritza M. Lacayo, Associate Curator, the museum space was transformed into an extension of my studio. An immersive experience where painting materials, physical abstract gestures, and music from my vinyl record collection converged.

My sincere thanks to Maritza; Franklin Sirmans, Sandra and Tony Tamer Director; and Fabiana Sotillo, Curatorial Assistant; and everyone who worked with such care on this exhibition including my studio family Rey Parlá, Claudia Hilda and Christian A. Mendoza.
To Miami, the place of my birth and my first home. Thank you for welcoming me back.

Just a ✨whimsical✨ princess en El Monte 🖤🌳✨

In honor of one of the most beautiful, rewarding, and inspiring shows I’ve ever had the pleasure of curating, and the fact that it is coming to a close soon! 🥹

Here are a few of my favorite memories with @elliotanderick as we planned the show, installed it, brought it to life, and celebrated this incredible accomplishment. There are too many people to thank, but it took a damn village. Elliot, Erick, Anthony, thank you for becoming more than collaborators, but brothers to me. This show will live on in my heart forever! 🖤

“Elliot and Erick Jiménez: El Monte” closes on March 22nd. If you missed it, that’s a damn shame! 💅🏼✨

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
