Maria Yolanda Liebana: A Place to be Held<\/span>
<\/h2>\n

September 15 \u2013 December 11, 2026<\/strong>
\nGeorge Segal Gallery<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Place to be Held<\/em>\u00a0is the first solo museum exhibition by NYC-based artist Maria Yolanda Liebana. The exhibition imagine a matriarchal world where chance, identity, and desire are always in motion. Inspired by the birth of her daughter, Liebana explores motherhood as both a physical and spiritual terrain shaped by labor, wonder, and transformation.<\/p>\n

Drawing from ancient mythologies, Catholic imagery, art history, Tarot, and contemporary popular culture, Liebana layers these influences into bold mixed-media works and site-specific installations. Her densely layered materials \u2014 including pearls, glitter, and disco balls \u2014 reflect a rich symbolism that brings together the sacred and the everyday, the serious and the playful.<\/p>\n

The exhibition features selections from Liebana\u2019s\u00a0Venus Crusades<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Tarot Card<\/em>\u00a0series, alongside three new immersive environments: an Eden-inspired garden, a cosmic arcade, and a metaphysical sanctuary.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
