Join us for Miami Art Week in Little Haiti – an officially sanctioned Art Basel venue. Curators Edouard Duval-Carrie, Carl-Philippe Juste and Marie Vickles will discuss curating the exhibitions on display at the Little Haiti Cultural Complex and neighboring spaces. The talk will be moderated by Dr. Rebecca Friedman of the Public Humanities Lab.

This year’s theme, under the umbrella of the Global Borderless Caribbean, is Immigrant Artists at Work – Creating Dangerously, referencing the words of Edwidge Danticat. Each exhibition at the LHCC, IPC ArtSpace, and the Studio of Edouard Duval-Carrie, highlights the ways in which the (im)migrant experience includes the remaking of home and the power of the creative arts to express, endure and thrive wherever one lands. Join us for this multi-sensory, multi-disciplinary and multi-spatial moment highlighting Miami Art Week in Little Haiti.

Performance by jazz musician Curtis Lundy. Music by DJ Mack.

Lunch will be served.
