“In Plain Sight” at Tunnel Projects in Little Havana, is a photography exhibition by Miami artist and creative director, Esdras T. Thelusma (b.1989, Freeport, Bahamas), curated by painter Reginald O'Neal, currently on view until Jan 5th. Thelusma is known for his edgy portraits of hip-hop artists, but this show includes pictures of neighbors and friends as well.
