This greenhouse is cloaked in pixelated botanical imagery printed on one-way perforated vinyl, a material often used for advertisements.Because of this, we cannot see inside this typically transparent structure. Joiri Minaya grew up in the Dominican Republic and, as an artist, now examines the history of often-forced export of plants, people, and culture from the Caribbean to other places includingNew England. Concerned with how “exotic”or tropical landscapes are viewed upon and stereotyped by outsiders, Minaya’s greenhouse inverts our expectations. The images of these plant species are opaque and inscrutable. To connect the past and the present, Minaya took these photographs at nearby greenhouses, including at the Lyman Estate in neighboring Waltham, one of the oldest existing green-houses in the United States.
