Entre Dos Mundos” — which opened April 16 and runs through June 30 — walks you through the twin brothers’ take on the religion’s mix of Roman Catholicism and the culture of the Yoruba, one of the largest Nigerian ethnic groups in West Africa.
“When the Spanish colonized Cuba, they enslaved Yoruban people and forced them to convert from their original faith of Isese to Catholicism,” Erick explains to New Times. “In order for them to continue their practice, they concealed their gods, the deities based on Catholic saints with similar ideals, which is sort of what the show visualizes.”
The series ventures outside of the twins’ 14-year career in fashion photography. (They’ve worked for Vogue, Allure, Hermés, and Highsnobiety, to name a few.) Though their career took off in New York City, the Miami natives brought “Entre Dos Mundos” home.
