Explore how contemporary art can open a window to history and hold up a mirror to a community in this workshop featuring Calida Rawles: Away with the Tides and the history of Overtown. How does an artist bear witness to the present impact of history?

During a walking tour, you’ll learn how Overtown, once an economic and cultural bulwark of Miami’s Black community, transformed under the imposed pressures of racism, displacement, and gentrification. At Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), tour Away with the Tides to uncover Rawles’s artistic process, from building connections with and photographing Overtown residents to creating paintings that blend hyperrealism and abstraction. Then, participate in an art-making workshop led by PAMM teaching artists.

All K–12 educators, including teachers and paraprofessionals, museum professionals, and other informal educators are welcome to attend. Light breakfast, lunch, and free parking will be provided for all participants. For more information or any questions, email education@pamm.org.

Open to all interested formal and informal educators. Maximum Participants: 45 M-DCPS PD Credits: 7
