BAM: Mercedes, Part 1

Mental health, caregiving, and cultural legacy converge in Mercedes, Part 1, a powerful multidisciplinary installation by Modesto Flako Jimenez. Running from December 3–8, 2024, at BAM’s Fishman Space, this deeply personal project honors Jimenez’s grandmother, Mercedes, while addressing the larger societal issues of mental health stigma, caregiver rights, and community support within the Latin diaspora.
