Opening Gallery Reception of You CAN Sit Here by Tiffany ‘Tiff McFierce’ McPherson.
Exhibition Dates: Thursday, March 20 - Saturday, August 16, 2025
Opening Celebration: Thursday, March 20, 5:30–8 PM
Casita Maria presents You CAN Sit Here, a multimedia solo exhibition by Bronx native Tiffany ‘Tiff McFierce’ McPherson. The exhibition will be on view from Thursday, March 20 - Saturday, August 16, 2025, in the Casita Maria Gallery, located at 928 Simpson Street, 6th Floor, Bronx, NY 10459.
Inspired by Tiff’s childhood living room—a space to be seen but not sat in—the exhibition transforms a symbol of pride and restriction into a shared space for gathering, introspection, and creativity. As a first-generation Jamaican American, Tiff’s experience mirrors those of many Black, Caribbean, and multicultural households. In the gallery, this space is reimagined as a place for “connection and solitude, nostalgia and newness.”
Free opening and closing celebrations will take place on Thursday, March 20, from 5:30–8:00 PM, and Saturday, August 16, from 2:00–5:00 PM. Guests are invited to meet the artist, engage with her work, and enjoy refreshments, with music provided by Tiff herself, a global DJ sensation and music director.
Casita Maria is a safe space that incorporates expressive arts into our Art Studios curriculum during after-school program hours. This exhibition is particularly important for the young artists of Casita Maria as it provides an opportunity for them to see galleries as creative, welcoming spaces to explore ideas in three dimensions and how to use the creative process as a tool for healing and wellness.
All are welcome! Individual visits and guided tours can be scheduled by emailing marketing@casitamaria.org.
