The “Mi Casa, Your Casa 2.0” art installation is coming to The SoNo Collection, Norwalk’s premier retail, lifestyle, art, and event space from April 15 to May 14, 2023. It’s the first stop for this exciting interactive art installation as it tours Brookfield Properties shopping centers throughout the country. Inspired by the mercados of Latin America, the traveling art installation features eight three-dimensional red frames replicating a home with a swing inside that invite visitors to The SoNo Collection to pause, relax, and experience the art from the inside out.

The swings are made of urban ash. They give a second life to trees that were cut down by the City of Montreal because of the emerald ash borer. Created by Héctor Esrawe (founder and director of Esrawe Studio) and Ignacio Cadena (owner and creative director of Cadena Concepts®), the Mi Casa, Your Casa 2.0 art installation/exhibit features:

Tiny “houses” that form a blank canvas for community engagement and activity.
Swings that invite passersby to settle comfortably in the small houses and to relax by swaying quietly in a unique environment.
A welcoming white glow that bids passersby to enter when a casa is empty. Once someone is inside, the glow intensifies to show that someone is home.
Located on Shopping Level 1, this playful and interactive art installation will add to The SoNo Collection experience.
