Speed Circuit
Speed, style, and sizzling drama arrived in South Florida during the 2025 Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix. Set around the Hard Rock Stadium, the sixth race of the season delivered high-stakes racing with a sun-soaked, celebrity-packed backdrop. McLaren stole the spotlight as Oscar Piastri took a confident win — his third in a row. Born in Melbourne, Australia, in 2001, his rise has been nothing short of meteoric. From dominating the junior circuits with back-to-back titles in Formula Renault, F3 and F2, to landing a coveted seat with McLaren, his journey has the makings of a racing fairytale. The event wasn’t just about racing — it had all the flavor of a Miami festival, with music, fashion and VIP energy pulsing throughout. From trackside yachts to rooftop after-parties, it felt more like a lifestyle experience than a sporting event. With bold overtakes and a tighter layout offering more action, the 2025 Miami Grand Prix proved once again why it’s one of the most vibrant stops on the F1 calendar — where speed meets the city’s signature flair; Formula1.com. — Photos // Edward Leal

Aging Illusions
Local Cuban-American filmmaker, video artist and professor Juan Carlos Zaldivar explores human relationships with reality, memory and technology through his artwork, exploring the moving image as a metaphor for human memory, as both are aging physical illusions often mistaken for truth. By examining the parallels between human bodies and mechanical image-makers, the artist raises broader questions about identity, history, and the nature of humanity. As humans continue to colonize the earth, other species, languages, and cultures face extinction, with many experiences lost forever. Currently, the artist’s work on display at the iconic Betsy Hotel in South Beach reflects on both the potential and the limits of digital preservation, as well as the tension between human physical boundaries and the vast forces of nature; TheBetsyHotel.com/Juan-Carlos-Zaldivar.
