I Am Here: Manal AlDowayan

Friday, February 17 @ 7 pm

On the heels of the inauguration, personhood will not be denied, concealed in fabric, or turned into a number on a registry. 

AlDowayan explores what defines who we are at the most granular level - our thoughts, bodies, personal histories, religious choices. Her photography, installation + mixed media work narrate this particular constellation of details.

Acknowledging our differences, we all can nonetheless find commonality in our aspirations, in the importance of roots + in the inescapable journey from womb to death.

On View | February 17 - March 26 2017

Co-hosted by FIU's Steven J Green School of International and Public Affairs.

It's free to RSVP!

Do you know your voting rights? 
Or how those rights will be affected by the incoming administration? Laws can be unclear even to those who feel informed.

Join us for a Constitutional Law Talk with Caroline Mala Corbin (Professor of Law, University of Miami) + Kenneth Pietrobono (Featured Artist)

As the inauguration approaches, join a dialogue about the dialectic between Freedom + Control that is at the center of our national political discourse. Together we can discuss the barriers to understanding our rights, and how they can be broken down or re-imagined. The conversation will focus on a compelling work of art created specifically for our current exhibition, Swing State, by Kenneth Pietrobono. As part of the artist collective called Occupy Museums, Pietrobono was just selected for inclusion in the upcoming Whitney Biennial.

Conceptually grounded on two Supreme Court decisions - Bush v Gore (2000) and Shelby County v Holder (2013) - it presents evidence about the War on Terror, among other topics (which the artist maintains was predicated on the 2000 decision), and opens a discussion to interrogate future outcomes of the 2013 decision. The Shelby decision effectively rolled back the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and will affect elections far into the future.

Pietrobono's work is a springboard to discuss the decisions, the impact of those decisions on this election, + what the future holds in terms of activism, as well as the potential for further erosion of these rights.

During his May 2015 AIRIE residency, Miami based artist Franky Cruz developed a series of photographs taken in an Everglades cypress dome. Cruz states that this concept started with questions of human identity and behavior, especially relating to the creatures of this planet. “Embodying this white bird created an empathic connection between the human and our majestic natural environment. A connection that seems to have been severed by our modern day methods. Wearing the metaphorical skin of the creature, stepping out of our shoes and into their claws, paws and hopefully not bellies. Searching for some kind of heron who seems to be an alien in its own environment.”

Rojas + Rubensteen Projects recently opened their doors with an inaugural exhibition Water Me, an immersive experience about challenging and nurturing the art on the walls (+ floors + ceilings). The exibition constantly encourages visitors, artists and collectors to activate the art on view and stimulate conversation. Cruz created a site-specific installation in the new exhibition space, on view through November 16th. Please join us after the discussion for a drink at Churchill’s Pub, which is located less than a mile away, directly under the Wild Billboard at 5501 NE 2nd Ave, Miami, FL, 33137.

The Wild Billboard Project, sponsored in part by the Knight Foundation, brings a bit of the Everglades into the city by creating billboards emblazoned with large scale, artful images reflecting the South Florida environment. This image is one of four billboards executed by AIRIE, Inc. in 2015-16.

Please check airie.org for any date changes.

Art is like a plant. An exhibition is like an organism.
The act of creation is in your hands, and growth feels like magic. Water Me is an immersive exhibition about challenging and nurturing the art on the walls (+ floors + ceilings) by constantly encouraging you - visitors, artists + collectors - to activate the art on view and stimulate conversation. 

Hila Amram (Israel), Franky Cruz (Miami), Orestes de la Paz (Miami), Troizel Carr + Isabelle Hui Saldaña (New York/ Georgia) and Naomi Safran-Hon (New York) explore the power and interactive quality of water.
