Eunice Levis’ Colmado del Futuro

Step into the Colmado del Futuro, a futuristic twist on the classic Caribbean corner store. Created by writer, director, and visual artist Eunice Levis. Free and open to the public.

This immersive art installation transforms a 10×10-foot bodega-inspired structure into a powerful story about community, culture, and technology.

Rooted in Dominican and Afro-Caribbean traditions, the installation blends projection mapping, motion sensors, soundscapes, and scent to explore how automation and artificial intelligence are reshaping everyday spaces. As visitors move through the experience, the space “glitches” between real and virtual worlds, inviting reflection on the future of connection and culture.

 Perfect for families, creatives, and curious minds, this experience runs in 5–7-minute cycles and accommodates up to 6 guests at a time. Whether you visit by day or by night, this installation offers a multi-sensory journey unlike anything else on the Philly Waterfront.
