What if art didn't just represent the world — but could reconfigure it?
Flip It & Reverse It: Part 2 unites Indigenous leaders, curators, artists, activists, spiritual leaders, and cultural organizers from four continents with the Miami community — to share strategies for creative change-making, forge connections, and come away with blueprints for changing hearts, minds, policy, and the world.
The Program
Where and Why: An International Conversation
Before the public convening, cultural leaders from museums, biennials, and independent organizations across the Americas and Europe gather for a recorded conversation on the past, present, and future of Flip It & Reverse It — and why this work matters now.
PAMM After Hours: Art, Conversation & Exchange
During PAMM's free evening hours, a guided tour and conversation for One Becomes Many — the legacies of eleven Black Brazilian artists and the Afro-Brazilian religion Candomblé.
Togetherness: Welcome Brunch & Tour
The convening opens with a welcome brunch and guided exploration of PAMM's educational spaces — classrooms and research library — and a first chance to meet fellow participants.
The Queen Mother's Blessing & Procession
On the anniversary of Bois Caïman Day, a public blessing overlooking Biscayne Bay opens the convening — marking the 1791 gathering that helped launch the Haitian Revolution — before leading participants into the auditorium.
Grounding in This Project Universe
How can art help communities imagine and create a better future? An introduction to Flip It & Reverse It through the work of socially engaged artists offering a roadmap for creative change-making.
Reaching Each Other Across Oceans
Through Yoruba-inspired poetry, storytelling, and movement, Adrian Castro links cultures and ways of knowing across Miami, Cuba, Nigeria, China, and Tibet — how ideas and traditions travel across oceans and generations.
PAMM Exhibition Focus
Informal tours and conversations through PAMM's featured exhibitions, led by curators, artists, and special guests — on contemporary art, identity, history, spirituality, and cultural exchange.
Origin Story: Collective Movements Powered by Nature
Tracing the Yanvalou, the Haitian dance connected to the 1791 gathering at Bois Caïman — how movement and collective action shape communities today. Concludes with a live demonstration and participatory dance.
The Secret Unfurls
Following a sunrise beachfront gathering, artists and cultural leaders share reflections that emerged from their collective experience — how art can help us rethink our relationships with one another, with nature, and with the world.
Art is Spirit. Spirit is Art.
At the Little Haiti Cultural Complex, “The Govi Project: Waging Peace” invites participants to decorate govi — earthenware vessels that hold memories, prayers, and offerings — followed by a participatory Yanvalou dance class with master teacher Yanui.
Chilling Big in Little Haiti
The convening concludes at the studio of noted Haitian artist Edouard Duval-Carrié, with an afternoon and evening of food, music, dancing, and celebration across one of Miami's most vital cultural neighborhoods.
