There, he uncovered years of letters and documents about his Dominican grandmother, which he transformed into a multilayered art exhibition embodying pure love.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am recreating the house that she gave me space in,&#8221; Jimenez said. &#8220;I\u2019m inviting people to celebrate the nine days of mourning, as they do in the Caribbean, so I\u2019m inviting people to the ninth day of those nine days when we all come together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"file-3855932\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vmcdn.ca\/f\/files\/bkreader\/images\/arts-and-entertainment\/mercedes-part-i-498-photography-by-steven-molina-contreras.jpg;w=960\" alt=\"mercedes-part-i-498-photography-by-steven-molina-contreras\" \/><figcaption>The recreation of the kitchen.

During the timed tour, four actors in the apartment act as guides, encouraging people to take a deep-dive into\u00a0Vinales&#8217;\u00a0mementos, which range from journals to albums to Spanish-language magazines.<\/p>\n<p>You can open the refrigerator, eat from the fruit bowl on the kitchen table, and view pictures of Vinales&#8217; family, including pictures of a young Jimenez.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"file-3855937\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vmcdn.ca\/f\/files\/bkreader\/images\/arts-and-entertainment\/mercedes-part-i-183-photography-by-steven-molina-contreras.jpg;w=960\" alt=\"mercedes-part-i-183-photography-by-steven-molina-contreras\" \/><figcaption>Cast member and guitar player Pedro Fortunato.

Jimenez created a pop-up mental health room that provides private consultations with senior centers, including one-on-one visits to residents there.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"file-3855930\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vmcdn.ca\/f\/files\/bkreader\/images\/arts-and-entertainment\/mercedes-part-i-healing-room-img_0506_alycia-kravitz.jpeg;w=960\" alt=\"mercedes-part-i-healing-room-img_0506_alycia-kravitz\" \/><figcaption>Attendees drawing in healing room.

You can then eat, do some art therapy, have a moment of breathing, or listen to Mercedes&#8217;\u00a0story to process what you just experienced in the house.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Visitors who have also cared\u00a0for a family member with dementia can engage with their emotions in the healing room. Jimenez\u00a0asks guests to write down the names of their loved ones impacted by dementia, and\u00a0the names are read off so they can be honored at the exhibition.\u00a0There are\u00a0markers, crayons, and paper in the Healing Room, for visitors to create drawings, which are then placed in frames and exhibited on a\u00a0wall.<\/p>\n<p>Jimenez said his abuela\u00a0instilled the importance of taking care of people: &#8220;In the same space she took care of me, now I get to do it for her. How do I pass this tool down?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Evoking tears and laughter, <em>Mercedes, Part 1<\/em> is a powerful,\u00a0graceful and intimate\u00a0walk through the\u00a0life of a woman whose impact reverberated\u00a0from Bushwick to the Dominican Republic and now to BAM.<\/p>\n<p>The show is on view through Dec. 8.
