I’ll be doing a forest bathing session for members of Vizcaya Museum and Gardens on Thursday June 6 at 6:30 PM. Come check out this tiny patch of rockland hammock which is part of the Old-Growth Forest Network.
I’m also doing a public walk on Monday June 17 at 9:30 AM. Start your week with a mini nature retreat!
The beach and water park features at Miami’s Thompson Park are closed until renovation is complete, but the campground is still open! It’s here that Water Radio will present its first public program, a soundcamp to celebrate International Dawn Chorus Day.
This overnight, outdoor event is limited to 10 people. If you’re interested, please reserve your spot through Eventbrite. Learn more about it here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/water-radio-soundcamp-for-international-dawn-chorus-day-2019-tickets-60020795816
I just returned from packing up my solo exhibit Who Saves Who? in North Carolina. I’m organizing the photos and video documentation, so I’ll plan to include a link in a future update. In the meantime, I want to let you know that I’m hosting two extra special events in the Miami area and I hope to see you at one or both.

FREE film screening of the short film Miami Beach Elegy by Chip Lord of Ant Farm, followed by Q&A and discussion at Florida International University’s Miami Beach Urban Studios. Miami Beach Elegy is a visual poem to remember Miami Beach as it was in the early 21st century – a colorful canary in the mine shaft of climate change.

Happy new year! I now have an email newsletter so that you can receive occasional updates. These will go out no more than once a month, probably less frequently than that. Thanks for your interest and all the best for 2019!
Lovely writing in Hyperallergic.com about the 2018 Creative Time Summit walk with Onajide Shabaka. Many thanks to author Monica Uszerowicz!
