Bad Bunny photogs Elliot and Erick Jiménez have a new exhibit at PAMM
Elliot and Erick Jiménez, the identical twin duo behind TIME 's first-ever Spanish-language cover featuring the reggaeton superstar, are getting their first solo museum show at Pérez Art Museum Miami this August. The exhibition, "El Monte," promises more than pretty pictures—think sculptural installations, Lucumí mysticism and photos that hover between painting and dream sequence.
Opening on Thursday, August 28, "El Monte" dives deep into the Afro-Caribbean spiritual tradition of Lucumí, an influence the Cuban-American brothers grew up with in Miami. The work explores identity, ancestry and duality through staged portraits, moody lighting and symbolism-rich scenes that wouldn't be out of place in a Renaissance painting—if Renaissance painters had been raised in Hialeah.
The show's title nods to Lydia Cabrera's 1954 book El Monte, a foundational text on Santería and Afro-Cuban religion that was only translated into English for the first time in 2023. PAMM Associate Curator Maritza M. Lacayo, who organized the exhibition, says the brothers' work 'builds a bridge between Miami's Caribbean communities, its religious and spiritual practices, and those of their ancestors.'
Elliot and Erick aren't new to the art world—they've exhibited at places like the Bass Museum and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and have racked up awards from the CHANEL Artist Award Program and the CINTAS Foundation. But this show marks a milestone: their first full-scale museum solo exhibition, in a city that helped shape their vision.
With "El Monte," PAMM is transforming its galleries into something 'mysterious and whimsical,' in the curators' words, an immersive space where viewers can step into the twins' shared imagination. Expect photo-based works that shimmer like paintings, structures that evoke ritual and a sense of reverence that never veers into stiffness.

I didn't stop eating meat because I didn't like it, I just didn't want to eat animals anymore. I still cook meat for friends and family, I just don't eat it myself. I love recreating the textures and flavours of meaty dishes in a way that still excites the palate. 'Beautiful, fresh, seasonal ingredients are usually the stars of my dishes. Plants are incredibly diverse, and I love showcasing what they can do. If you think about it, it's usually the ingredients around the meat that make a dish exciting. A plain steak might be nice, but it's the celeriac miso purée, sticky glazed carrot, and rich jus that really elevate the plate. 'I love to experiment with different cuisines, and I love food stories and origins, so trying dishes from difference cultures and hearing about where they come from and the stories behind the dishes.'

Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz set tongues wagging at US Open as coach reveals what's really going on
Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz set tongues wagging at US Open as coach reveals what's really going on The two tennis stars teamed up to take on Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula in New York Raducanu and Alcaraz were all smiles despite their defeat Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz were all smiles despite crashing out of this year's US Open mixed doubles event in the opening round, with their friendly display on court setting tongues wagging yet again. The duo came up against British star Jack Draper and his partner Jessica Pegula in the first round of the revamped competition, with Alcaraz facing a rapid turnaround to be in New York to take part, having won the Cincinatti Open less than 24 hours earlier. However, he and Raducanu were ultimately beaten 4-2, 4-2 by Draper and Pegula. Despite the result, however, the pair were certainly in high spirits and looked delighted to be sharing each other's company on the court, with 22-year-old Raducanu beaming after almost every point. Alcaraz and Raducanu were seen giggling their way through breaks, while they shared a warm embrace at the end of the match. The display has seen more questions asked about the nature of their relationship, with much made of their partnership heading into the US Open, given the rumours of a potential romance between the two stars. Those rumours began to circulate after Raducanu was spotted in the stands at Centre Court, cheering on Alcaraz as he secured his second successive Wimbledon title last year. Article continues below They gathered pace earlier this summer as the British ace was again seen supporting Alcaraz as he won the men's singles event at Queen's, while reports later emerged that the Spanish star had visited her at her hotel during the tournament. However, both players have played down suggestions of their relationship being anything more than platonic, with Raducanu telling reporters at Wimbledon that they are "just good friends". The pair laughed together as they took a break Now, the current British No.1's former coach Mark Petchey has given the same verdict as he weighed in on the rumours surrounding the two 22-year-olds. 'They are just good friends," he told OLBG. "She's good friends with a lot of people out there on the tour. The media is going to be the media. 'Obviously, I know there's suggestions that they are going out. That's not the case. They're just good friends. The reality is they're only there to play tennis.' As well as Alcaraz, Raducanu has also been linked to long-time friend Draper, as well as Brooklyn Beckham and former tennis prodigy Benjamin Heynold. She split up with her former boyfriend Carlo Agostinelli - a budding footballer and the son of billionaire financier Robert Agostinelli - last year. Meanwhile, Alcaraz has also been the subject of romance rumours linking him to sports marketing and law graduate Maria Gonzalez Gimenez and Spanish singer Ana Mena. Article continues below However, the five-time Grand Slam winner has since confirmed his relationship status, telling the Molusco TV podcast: "I'm single, but I'm looking for someone. It can be difficult for a tennis player to meet the right person, because they are always on the move. Who knows what will happen this year." "No commitments for now, I'm single," he added. "I've laughed several times with people close to me, when I discovered that three or four players got engaged during the winter break. "I thought it would be my turn, but not yet. It's complicated to never stay in the same place, it's difficult to find the person who can share things with you if you're always in different parts of the world."
