Calida Rawles: Away with the Tides
Thursday, June 27
7pm
Join us for a panel conversation in celebration of the opening of Calida Rawles’s first museum solo exhibition, Away with the Tides. Rawles’s work engages with Miami’s water-entwined climate and dives into the history of beauty, oppression, and resilience in PAMM’s neighboring community of Overtown and the waterways of historic Virginia Key Beach.
The panel will open with the screening of a short documentary, “Wade in the Water,” by Cathleen Dean, setting the tone for a discussion around the visual exploration of Black people’s relationship to water and Rawles’s envisioning of water as a space for Black healing. Following the short film, artist Calida Rawles, filmmaker Cathleen Dean, and Overtown community leader and life-long resident Trina Harris, will engage in a lively conversation moderated by Chire “Vanta Black” Regans, a South Florida-based visual artist and community advocate.
Before the conversation, view the new exhibition in the galleries and celebrate on the terrace from 5–7pm with happy hour and live jazz to celebrate the rich musical roots of our neighbors in Overtown.
