The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts is pleased to announce its participation in Untitled Art, Miami Beach 2026, presenting works by EFA Studio Members Cecile Chong, Karina Aguilera Skvirsky, and A young Yu. Bringing together ceramics, collage, painting, and mixed media, the presentation explores how artists carry cultural memory into the present. Through ancestral traditions, mythologies, and historical forms, the artists reimagine diasporic experiences and examine questions of identity, migration, and belonging. Their practices transform inherited materials and visual languages into new expressions that connect the past with the present.

Cecile Chong is a multimedia artist whose practice spans painting, sculpture, installation, video, and public art. Born in Ecuador to Chinese parents and raised in Quito and Macau, she explores cultural exchange, migration, and shared human connections through layered materials, histories, and languages. Her work examines how cultures overlap and evolve, reflecting on the fragility of civilization and our shared relationship to nature and one another.

Karina Aguilera Skvirsky is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice examines history, colonialism, and cultural identity through photography, collage, video, and performance. Drawing on her Ecuadorian and Jewish-American heritage, she uses research and material experimentation to challenge dominant historical narratives and explore the intersections of Indigenous histories and colonial legacies. She received a Creative Capital grant in 2019, and her work has been presented at the Centre Pompidou, the São Paulo Biennial, and the Cuenca Biennial.

A young Yu & Nicholas Oh (AYDO) is a New York-based artist duo composed of A young Yu and Nicholas Oh. Working across performance-based film and sculptural installation, their practice reimagines ancestral traditions as evolving forms of cultural expression. Through gestures of devotion and transformation, they explore diasporic experiences and consider how inherited practices can be reinterpreted to serve contemporary communities. Yu holds an MFA from Columbia University, while Oh holds an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design. Their work has been exhibited at the Museum of Art and Design and the RISD Museum, among other institutions.
