Eddie Arroyo's work comments on ideas of urban renewal, city life, and redevelopment in South Florida's Black and Latino communities – Little Haiti and Little Havana neighborhoods among them – and their impacts in the lives of local residents. For instance, images of architectural structures and local small businesses on the wake of being replaced by new buildings and constructions. [4] [5]
Arroyo's painting 5825 NE 2nd Ave., Miami, FL 22137 (2016) was exhibited at the 2019 Whitney Biennial and later acquired by the Whitney Museum.

Rivane Neuenschwander is a Brazilian artist. She is known for work that explores language, nature, geography, the passing of time and social interactions. At times her works are interactive, involving viewers in spontaneous and participatory actions. In her installations, films and photographs, Rivane Neuenschwander employs fragile unassuming materials to create aesthetic experiences, a process she describes as "ethereal materialism". While her work in the 1990s focused mainly on various forms of mapping and the use of "simple, ephemeral materials familiar to people living in Brazil" such as garlic peels, ants, dried flowers, soap bubbles, spice, dust, coconut soap, water, and slugs, her more recent works have dealt more directly with politics, sexuality, and subjectivity, particularly as an expression of the "pain and indignation that accompanies life in Brazil" under the government of Jair Bolsonaro.
