SUMMARY:In Conversation: On The Life of Journalist Bill Baggs
DESCRIPTION:In A Nervous Man Shouldn’t Be Here in the First Place\, Amy Paige Condon tells the story of the late Bill Baggs\, editor of the now-defunct Miami Daily News.

Condon is speaking with David Lawrence Jr.\, who retired in 1999 as publisher of the Miami Herald to work in the area of early childhood development and readiness. Lawrence later led successful campaigns for the establishment of The Children’s Trust and today is chair of The Children’s Movement of Florida. His memoir\, A Dedicated Life: Journalism\, Justice and a Chance for Every Child\, was published in 2018. \nSponsored by

SUMMARY:Grabbed: Poets & Writers on Sexual Assault\, Empowerment & Healing
DESCRIPTION:Live Q&A: Friday\, November 20 @ 7:00 – 7:30 p.m. EST\nThe 21st century has brought unprecedented evidence of the prevalence of sexual abuse and assault. Finally\, the world is beginning to recognize the depraved and hypocritical actions of celebrities\, politicians\, CEOs\, and Hollywood moguls. People everywhere are speaking out in outrage\, to express support for the survivors of the assaults\, and to raise their voices against a culture that has allowed this behavior to continue for too long. \nThe editors of this gender-inclusive anthology asked writers and poets to contribute pieces about what being “grabbed” means to each of them. The result is a collection of emotional works in prose and poetry addressing a range of injustices including all forms of sexual misconduct – from an unwanted caress to rape. The writers represented here have mined their collective experiences to reveal their most vulnerable moments – for some\, these are stories that have never been shared before. In reading this book\, we understand what it means to be “grabbed” emotionally\, psychologically\, and physically. In the aftermath of violation\, we take a moment to hold humanity in our own hands. \nSponsored by:

SUMMARY:Extra Virgin Press
DESCRIPTION:Miami artist Tom Virgin incorporated Extra Virgin Press\, LLC in early 2016\, after receiving a Knight Arts Challenge Grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation in November 2015. Extra Virgin Press also received a Wavemaker/Long Haul Grant from Cannonball Miami in 2016. A printmaker for more than 40 years\, Virgin began creating artist’s books in 2002. His award-winning books are included in two surveys of book arts. His books and prints are in public collections including PAMM\, Walker Art Center\, UC-San Diego\, Jaffe Center for Book Arts\, Wells College\, and the Bienes Museum of the Modern Book. \n\nThe Miami 100s were created in May 2018 by 14 of Miami’s finest writers. Each of had collaborated with myself/Extra Virgin Press in the SWEAT Broadsheet Collaboration or another project prior to this one. They were asked to provide me with 100 characters to print on text-based broadsheets: prose\, poetry\, prayer\, rant\, koan\, or story. \n\n\nMy goal for these 14 broadsheets with words from 14 friends was to introduce Miami writers to my writer friends at an artists’ residency at The Anderson Center at Tower View in Red Wing\, Minnesota. Facing the prospect of arriving to my studio\, for the seventh time in 2018\, with no new work for the walls\, was devastating. So\, I brought my Miami writer friends to the folks in Minnesota\, on paper. It was love at first read. The Midwest 100s followed directly\, but that is another story. \n\n\nTom Virgin\, Extra Virgin Press \n\n\nExtra Virgin Press has been creating community with letterpresses since 2015\, with support from Knight Foundation\, Oolite Arts\, a Wavemaker\, MDC Cultural Affairs\, Miami Foundation\, and community partners. The mission of EVP is to help preserve the art of letterpress printing in Miami through teaching\, printing\, and bringing together a variety of community voices\, including youth and the literary and artistic residents of Miami. \n\n\n Tom Virgin is a Miami artist\, proprietor of Extra Virgin Press\, and former Title I public school art teacher. Virgin received his BFA from Florida Atlantic University in 1989\, and an MFA in printmaking at the University of Miami in 1994. He studied printmaking\, book arts\, and letterpress in more than 40 postgraduate classes around the United States\, and teaches workshops in those subjects. \n\n\nBorn and raised in Detroit\, on jazz\, blues\, Motown\, and rock and roll\, Virgin has now spent twice as much time in Florida than in his native Michigan. Residencies around the U.S. in artists’ communities and national parks have also informed his practice. His work in prints\, collaborations\, book arts\, and public art often depict shared civic resources\, such as public schools\, national parks\, and social justice.

SUMMARY:Made In Miami Playlists by Local Music Masters: Adult Programming
DESCRIPTION:Adult Programming is the fast-paced confessional archive of Miami-based actor and musician AJ Ruiz. With a sound amalgamated from Interpol and of Montreal\, AP is essentially indie rock with a biting sense of humor. Born out of a gut-wrenching response to the contracts of his newfound adulthood\, Ruiz is hell-bent on breaking free from the constraints of mundanity through his work. \nHaving recently finished production for his upcoming EP\, Ruiz had the opportunity to work with his personal hero\, mixing engineer Kevin Barnes of Montreal\, on the record. \nListen to Adult Programming’s Guilty Party here.

SUMMARY:Let My People Vote: My Battle to Restore the Civil Rights of Returning Citizens
DESCRIPTION:“You may think the right to vote is a small matter\, and if you do\, I would bet you have never had it taken away from you.” \nThus begins the story of Desmond Meade and his inspiring journey to restore voting rights to roughly 1.4 million returning citizens in Florida – resulting in a stunning victory in 2018 that enfranchised more people at once in any single initiative since women’s suffrage. \n“Let My People Vote” is the deeply moving\, personal story of Meade’s life\, his political activism\, and the movement he spearheaded to restore voting rights to returning citizens who had served their terms. Meade survived a tough childhood only to find himself with a felony conviction. Finding the strength to pull his life together\, he graduated summa cum laude from college\, graduated from law school\, and married. But because of his conviction\, he was not even allowed to sit for the bar exam in Florida. And when his wife ran for state office\, he was filled with pride – but not permitted to vote for her. \nMeade takes us on a journey from his time in homeless shelters\, to the exhilarating\, joyful night in November of 2018\, when Amendment 4 passed with 65% of the vote. Meade’s story\, and his commitment to a fully enfranchised nation\, will prove to readers that one person really can make a difference. \nDesmond Meade is the president of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition\, chair of Floridians for a Fair Democracy\, and a graduate of Florida International University College of Law. As a formerly homeless returning citizen\, he fought to restore voting rights to more than 1.4 million Floridians with past felony convictions. He was recognized by Time as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2019. Today\, Meade continues fighting against new restrictions placed on Florida voters that have been likened to Jim Crow laws. Meade and his wife and five children live in Florida. Connect with him @desmondmeade.

SUMMARY:Exchange for Change: The Writing on the Wall
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the acclaimed visual artist Hank Willis Thomas\, the nonprofit architecture firm MASS Design Group\, and the production team Openbox\, Incarceration Nations Network presents The Writing on the Wall\, a pop-up art installation made from writing by people in prisons around the world. In an effort to raise awareness about mass incarceration and center the words of those directly impacted at the heart of the fight for prison reimagining\, the installation is displayed in public spaces as a form of verbal and visual intrusion. Each debut The Writing on the Wall is an event and ongoing campaign\, coordinated in collaboration with local justice reform organizations and led by formerly incarcerated community leaders. It has thus far been exhibited in New York City on the High Line park – the most trafficked public park in the world – as well as in Detroit\, New Orleans\, Philadelphia\, and Miami. IncarcerationNationsNetwork.com \nExchange for Change offers writing courses in prisons and runs letter exchanges between incarcerated students and writers studying on the outside. By preparing incarcerated people for their re-entry into the outside community and preparing that community for their return\, Exchange for Change provides vision and understanding on both sides of the fence.
