Global South Movements 2023

Stories of Becoming: 11 Artists and 8 Mediums

Green Space Miami is proud to present Global South Movements by Hanan Arts. Curated and produced by Miami artist Tiffany Madera, Global South Movements invites you to experience a program of 11 artists and 8 mediums to celebrate the landscape of cultures of Miami, Africa, and the Caribbean.

Global South Movements is Green Space Miami’s 2023 heritage program. Every year Dr. Kimberly Green invites a leading cultural expert to exhibit, discuss, educate, and celebrate the art and traditions of Miami’s diverse communities. In 2023 Tiffany Madera invites you to a vibrant series of events about women, dance, and film.

The exhibition is a celebration of 20 years of Hanan Arts groundbreaking use of traditional middle eastern dance as a tool for social justice, along with an unveiling of new works by globally acclaimed artists Ya La’Ford and Juana Valdes with recent commissions by local artists Dinorah de Jesus Rodriguez and Karelle Levy of KREL - alongside other never before seen works. Together the artists’ works discuss resistance, the body, cultural inheritance, fluidity, temporality, identity, and gender. With large format photos, dance, immersive video, photography, textile art, mixed media installations, and multiple activations, Global South Movements will engage the five senses and anchor its themes in the somatic. The visceral experience will transport the viewer into the more mystical and energetic realms prominent in Global South cultural expressions, ignite the intellect, and induce reflection.

At the opening reception on March 22, international bellydance artist Valerick Molinary will perform Lebanese and Egyptian dance with live percussion in collaboration with the Lebanese Love Affair. Soundscape art by T Lyfe will connect Africa, the Caribbean, the Middle East and Miami, featuring music from the regions of exhibition artists including Jamaica, Brazil, Egypt, Cuba, and Lebanon.
