A conversation led by COMMISSIONER.US
6 PM Doors open, 6:30 PM Talk starts, 7:30 PM Activity
Complimentary admission with RSVP. Limited seated based on first-come, first-served.
Commissioner, Miami’s longest-running community-led art commissioning program, leads a conversation exploring how art and collecting can serve as tools for truth-telling, memory, and cultural reclamation. Inspired by artist Isaac Julien’s Vagabondia (2000), soon on view at The Bass, the invited panel will also consider the evolving role and responsibility of individuals and communities in the cultural stewardship and preservation of inclusive narratives.
In addition to the talk, guests can partake in a public art walk—an activity to reflect on how shared experiences and cultural memories are recorded in our very own neighborhoods. This exercise will encourage participants to consider how their stories contribute to a broader, more expansive historical record, and how these memories can be preserved for future generations.
