DJ Spooky (Paul D. Miller) reimagines 20th-century film The Birth of a Nation the way only a DJ could: remixing, chopping and deconstructing the premise of the racially polarizing film to create something current and culturally significant. The result is Rebirth of a Nation, a radically different flick that’s won awards and traveled the world before its Miami screening.
Every third Sunday of the month, downtown bar the Corner welcomes Miami’s hottest drag queens for a night of performances and dancing. Guests are encouraged to come as they are for all the nonconforming fun one can handle. There’s no cover, nor a dress code, but a good attitude and some sparkle are encouraged.
Dandy Lion, “(Re)Articulating Black Masculine Identity”
The first comprehensive exhibit of its kind, the project examines the black dandy phenomenon in popular culture, from what it means to be black to what it means to be fashionable. Photographs and videos highlight individuals challenging the perception of black masculinity in today’s world by remixing Victorian-era fashion with traditionally African sartorial sensibilities. A rare treat.
