Echoes of Liberation

A Juneteenth Art Experience Featuring Niki Lopez

A City of North Miami Beach Juneteenth Program | June 19, 2026

Echoes of Liberation explores the ways freedom reverberates across generations. Rooted in ancestral memory, resistance, spirituality, healing, transformation, and self-discovery, this collection traces a journey from collective liberation to personal awakening. Created by artist and social practitioner Niki Lopez, the works invite viewers to honor what has been endured, celebrate what has been reclaimed, and imagine what becomes possible when we define ourselves on our own terms. In the spirit of Juneteenth, Echoes of Liberation asks us to remember, reflect, and continue the work of becoming free.
