Deering Estate ArtistinResidence Spotlight: Freddy Jouwayed
Sep 08, 2026
Freddy Jouwayed is a multimedia artist and exhibition designer currently heading FJP Design. He previously served as Museum Designer for HistoryMiami. There, he was instrumental to an immersive multisensory approach for presenting South Florida historical content evident in exhibitions such as “Hu
rricane Andrew – 25 Years Later” and the award-winning “Operation Pedro Pan, The Cuban Children’s Exodus”.
Jouwayed’s spatial considerations and fascination with light drive an artistic practice that centers on mesmeric settings for collaborative exchanges. These concerns are evident in the installations and performance rituals with the artist collective 3PQ, and more current collaborations with sound artist Gustavo Matamoros produced the sound installation LISTEN, and design of the Audiotheque 2.0, both at Oolite Arts. In 2019, Jouwayed’s multimedia installation works were exhibited at Cornell Art Museum, Palm Beach State College, NSU, and MDC’s Koubek Center.
Jouwayed has collaborated with Deering Estate’s AIR Programming Partner Gustavo Matamoros by providing technical support for the Subtropics: Audible Fields marathon. This marathon concludes this month with its final two events on September 13th and 27th at 4 PM. Admission is free with RSVP through Eventbrite.
