SUMMARY:Miami Street Arts with Luis Berros: How to Draw Billy the Otter!
DESCRIPTION:weBilly the Otter might be a little guy in a big ocean but that doesn’t mean he can’t leap off the page! Miami street artist Luis Berros is well-known for his fine art renditions of famous characters that are dripping in paint and street art style\, making his signature style a mix of urban contemporary art. If you’ve driven in Miami or walked the streets of Wynwood and beyond\, you’ve definitely seen his work that looks like it leaped rightout of a gallery and onto a wall. Join this dynamic artist for a fun tutorial as he shows you how to create his character Billy the Otter\, right from his very own picture book! \nLuis Berros (b. 1970) is a lifelong “semi-native” of South Florida\, having been born in Jersey City\, New Jersey\, before moving with his family to Miami as a child. When he demonstrated ability and an interest in art his parents brought him to an art teacher in an effort to channel his energy away from his other talent\, mischief. Spending several years as a student in Lesver de Quiros’ studio he developed his skill working with oil and canvas and gained a sensibility for color\, composition and the undeniable power of fine art. In high school Luis was a student of Eric Jenkins at Miami Jackson Senior High\, a teacher whose influence still flows in the work he is now creating. As he refined his technical skill along with his knowledge and appreciation of art history\, Luis’ own style and interpretive arc began to emerge. \nFinding an outlet for his creativity\, and a welcoming community in the fledgling graffiti culture  of South Florida in the early 1980’s\, Luis took part in this emerging art form and  experienced firsthand the power of art without limits.  Today he has become engrossed by the underlying narrative of his work\, which is to accelerate fine art and street art along the same plane and document the collision. When Luis isn’t painting he is living\, loving and laughing with his two wonderful children. All of whom have a talent for mischief. \nhttps://luisberros.com/

SUMMARY:In Conversation: On How Racial Hostility Destroyed Our Promise
DESCRIPTION:In American Poison: How Racial Hostility Destroyed Our Promise\, veteran New York Times economic reporter Eduardo Porter argues that racism is the reason why the United States is losing ground across nearly every indicator of social health. Leading us through history and across the country – from FDR’s New Deal through Bill Clinton’s welfare reform to Donald Trump’s retrograde and divisive policies – Porter pieces together how racial hostility has blocked social cohesion at every turn\, producing a nation that fails not only its Black and brown citizens\, but white America as well.

Knight Foundation and host of the weekly podcast “The Future of Democracy\,” joins him. \nThis program is part of The Future of Democracy X Miami Book Fair series\, presented in partnership with Knight Foundation.

DESCRIPTION:Grades 9 – 12 \nClaire Legrand on Lightbringer the Empirium Trilogy  \nTwo queens\, separated by a thousand years must face their ultimate destinies. Queen Rielle\, pushed away from everything she loves\, turns to Corien and his promises of glory. Meanwhile\, whispers from the empirium slowly drive her mad\, urging her to open the Gate.

SUMMARY:Understanding Haiti’s New Proposed Laws
DESCRIPTION:Moderated by Leonie Hermantin\, member of the Center for Haitian Studies’ Board of Directors. \nPresented in Haitian Creole with English subtitles.\nEnglish transcription available for non-Creole speakers \nDuring the colonial era\, Haiti’s Black Code governed the slavery system. Later\, the Civil Code was added to the Black Code with the aim of softening the slavery system. Today\, the Haitian government is proposing a new Penal Code for Haiti – one that would emulate other countries that have adopted a series of laws and principles that govern their people’s behavior regardless of their race\, color\, creed\, or language. Would a new Haitian Penal Code be at odds with our current legal system\, and with our principles and history? In this panel\, political sociologist Jean Eddy Saint Paul and writer Alin L. Hall (La Péninsule républicaine) discuss Haiti’s proposed Penal Code. \nSponsored by \n \n \nand in partnership with

SUMMARY:The Hero’s Journey: Two Poets on Reconfiguring the Lyric
DESCRIPTION:The poems of award-winning poet Yona Harvey’s much anticipated You Don’t Have to Go to Mars for Love follow an unnamed protagonist on her multidimensional\, Afro-futuristic journey. Her story stretches the boundaries normally constraining a Black female body like hers. Half superhero\, half secret identity\, she encounters side-slipping\, speculative realities testing her in poems that appear like the panels of a comic book. Music directs readers through large and small emotional arcs\, constantly re-troubled by lyric experimentation. Harvey layers her poems with a chorus of women’s voices. Our hero gets captured\, escapes\, scuba dives\, and goes interstellar\, and she emerges on the other end of her journey renewed\, invoking the gods. \nInspired by Albert Camus’s seminal Myth of Sisyphus\, Major Jackson’s fifth volume\, The Absurd Man\, subtly configures the poet as “absurd hero” and plunges headfirst into a search for stable ground in an unstable world. We follow Jackson’s restless\, vulnerable speaker as he ponders creation in the face of meaninglessness\, chronicles an increasingly technological world and the difficulty of social and political unity\, probes a failed marriage\, and grieves his lost mother with a stunning\, lucid lyricism. \nSponsored by:
