Miami’s Creative Underground to celebrate spirit of street cultureMiami graffiti artist AES “The Miracle Ghost,” in collaboration with Los Angeles-based production company Chop’em Down Films, will present “Partners in Crime,” a weeklong exhibition celebrating the spirit of street culture, on view from July 25 through Aug. 1 at Central Command Gallery in Miami’s Allapattah Arts District.

The weeklong celebration will begin with an opening reception on Saturday, July 25, and conclude on Saturday, Aug. 1, with a community B-Boy Jam breakdancing competition co-hosted by Chop’em Down Films.

Centered around AES’ latest solo exhibition, “Partners in Crime,” the series will bring together visual art, film, music, dance, and community-driven programming that explores the enduring themes of trust, loyalty, and human connection — values that have shaped both hip-hop culture and the communities it continues to inspire.

The exhibition will feature AES’ newest body of work, including paintings, mixed-media pieces, and sculpture inspired by decades of graffiti culture and the relationships forged through shared experiences.

Throughout the week, visitors will have the opportunity to engage with a dynamic lineup of cultural events before the celebration culminates in a high-energy showcase of Miami’s breakdancing community.

“Behind every adventure, every risk, and every triumph is someone who helped make it possible,” said AES (The Miracle Ghost). “With ‘Partners in Crime,’ I wanted to honor those relationships — the friends, collaborators, mentors, and family members who leave a lasting mark on our lives. The work goes beyond the canvas, showcasing the people whose presence shapes every journey.”

Inspired by decades of graffiti adventures, “Partners in Crime” explores what exists between people. From trust, loyalty to unspoken connections that often remain invisible yet define the most memorable experiences. The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on the people who have shaped their own journeys while celebrating the collaborative spirit that has fueled generations of artists.

Central Command Gallery is locatwd at 1798 NW 20 St. Miami, FL 33142.
