About this Event
Join us for a conversation with YoungArts artists-in-residence on Friday, June 5 from 6:30-7:30 PM inside the YoungArts Gallery. In this conversation, the artists will reflect on their time in residence at YoungArts—sharing how their practices have shifted and expanded—and the meaningful intersections that continue to shape their approaches to artmaking. Through shared stories, this conversation invites us into the evolving landscape of their work, where memory, process, and possibility meet.
Enjoy light bites and refreshments as you explore works in progress, hear directly from the artists and connect with the local arts community. Free and open to the public—RSVP encouraged.
Participating Artists
Catherine Camargo (2017 Visual Arts) is a curator, writer, artist and art advisor from Miami. She is the founder of QUEUE Gallery x Q Magazine. QUEUE Gallery operates from a flagship location in Miami while presenting exhibitions nomadically in Miami and internationally, while Q Magazine serves as a rotating archive of contemporary art through artist interviews and experimental print publications. Camargo’s curatorial and research-driven practice navigates internal and systemic barriers, migration, consciousness and vulnerability through unconventional aesthetics. Her writing and exhibitions challenge inherited power structures, treating discomfort as a generative space from which new perspectives emerge, moving between curating, writing and intimate studio work.
Fharid LaTorre (2018 Visual Arts) is a Miami-based artist working primarily in sculpture. He received his BFA from The Cooper Union in 2022. His practice engages systems of containment, collapse and residual function. Through fragmented forms—often resembling restraints, prosthetics or industrial remnants—he explores pressure as both a sculptural force and a mode of embodiment, where failure registers in form as trace, tension or breakdown. His work moves through questions of control, care and disintegration, examining how physical systems mirror psychological thresholds and infrastructural strain.
Sue Helen Montoya (2009 Photography) was born in Los Angeles, California, and raised between Tegucigalpa, Honduras, and Miami, Florida. She received a BFA from New World in Visual Arts in 2014 and her MFA from the University of Florida in May 2018. She has exhibited in Berlin (Radialsystem), Mexico City (FainFeria) and Miami (CIFO). She has completed artist residencies at 4Most gallery in Gainesville, Florida, Home+Away at Anderson Ranch in Snowmass, Colorado, SOMA Summer 2019, Radio 28 in Mexico City and Home+Away at Artpace in San Antonio, Texas. She was shortlisted for the Frankenthaler Climate Art Awards in 2022 for Change Atlas, a transmedia exhibition exploring climate change in Miami. In November 2025, she will attend Stove Works in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Destiny Moore (2020 Visual Arts) is a Black woman artist. Born in Miami Florida, Moore’s work revolves around her identity, race, culture and opinions on topics of the past and present. In 2020, she was a YoungArts finalist and U.S. Presidential Scholars in the Arts nominee, Gordon Parks Centennial Scholarship Winner and recipient of the Miami-Dade County Scholastics Silver Key along with other notable awards and mentions. As an interdisciplinary artist, she utilizes different forms of art such as painting, sculpting, animating, textiles and design to create representations of Black female figures that center a narrative of beauty. She received her BFA in General Fine Arts from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in 2024. Moore is currently pursuing her MS at Northeastern University’s College of Arts, Media and Design (CAMD).
