Celia Cruz: Work

Born in 1925 in Havana, Cuba, Celia Cruz left her birth country in 1960. Already performing and making her name with the band La Sonora Matancera, Celia Cruz became one of the most highly regarded singers, performing from Caracas to London and beyond. Known as La Guarachera de Cuba and heralded for her bold, emotional performances, Cruz embraced her Cuban heritage. She once stated, “In exile, I have learned to be Cuban in a way that might not have been possible if I had stayed in Cuba. I think being an exile has taught me to love my country even more.” Featuring photographs, video footage, posters, wigs and dresses, Celia Cruz: Work recognizes Cruz’s labor and her tireless commitment to her audiences who she loved to make “dance until dawn.” In 2025, we honor Cruz as well as the centennial of Hialeah and the Freedom Tower. In doing so, we celebrate our collective history and an extraordinary performer whose music plays a pivotal role in the soundtrack of Miami, the Caribbean, and the world at large.

Curated by Dainy Tapia of ArtSeen365, this exhibition showcases Regina Jestrow’s large-scale art quilts weaving personal narratives with a tribute to her mother and sister, celebrating their love for shiny things. The tacky-luxe aesthetic, which prominently features in Jestrow’s family home in Queens, New York, continues to influence her artistic practice in Miami.
Jestrow’s geometric art quilts incorporate hand-dyed and painted fabrics, alongside repurposed textiles sourced from friends, family, and thrift shops. These materials, as well as deconstructed party dresses, serve to convey stories and reference pop culture trends. By employing symbolic traditional quilt patterns, Jestrow creates new, dynamic forms that narrate her experiences.
Join us for this captivating exploration of personal and cultural narratives through the art of quilting!

Following the global announcement of the discovery of a rare juvenile T. rex specimen by three young boys, the Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS) is pleased to announce the premiere of T. REX, the giant screen documentary that captured this incredible expedition on camera. This captivating science adventure and a love letter to T. rex, the Greatest of All Tyrants – the GOAT – is now playing at the AutoNation® IMAX® 3D Theater.

Anchored by the true story of the young fossil hunters who made the discovery of a lifetime when they spotted a large, fossilized leg bone on a walk on public lands in North Dakota, T. REX intercuts the remarkable fossil dig, with cutting edge computer graphics that bring the iconic T. rex – from hatchling to hulking adult – to life. Narrated by Jurassic Park actor Sam Neill, T. REX explores the newest science that has helped reinvent our understanding of the iconic predator.

With hat tips to famous specimens, landmark discoveries, and wild cinematic T. rex depictions over the last century, the film also brings to life a cast of prehistoric characters including rex’s archrival, Triceratops; Quetzalcoatlus, one the largest animals ever to take flight; and the 25-foot long Sinraptor, a species that likely fed on early tyrannosaurs.

T. REX is an immersive cinema experience produced by Giant Screen Films and D3D Cinema, in partnership with the Field Museum, Denver Museum of Nature and Science, Houston Museum of Natural Science and Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, in association with the Cincinnati Museum Center, Cleveland Museum of Natural History, Museums Victoria, and New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science. The T. rex fossil featured in the film was collected on land under the jurisdiction of the US Bureau of Land Management, permit ND2023-00084.

The AutoNation® IMAX® Theater at the Museum of Discovery and Science is located at 401 SW 2nd Street in Fort Lauderdale. T. REX is included in the MODS Discovery Pass, an all-in-one ticket that includes Museum exhibitions, live science demonstrations and one IMAX documentary film.
