Please join us for a lecture with internationally renowned artist Mel Chin. One of the great idea generators of our time, Chin makes art that is both analytical and poetic, and evades easy classification.
Born in Houston, Texas in 1951, Chin is known for a broad range of approaches in his art, including works that require multi-disciplinary, collaborative teamwork and works that conjoin cross-cultural aesthetics with complex ideas. Chin insinuates art into unlikely places, including destroyed homes, toxic landfills, and even popular television, investigating how art can provoke greater social awareness and responsibility. HIs work is found in the collections of several major museums including the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, GA; Museum of Fine Art (MFAH), Houston, TX; Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY; Walker Art Center Minneapolis, MN; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY.

Sugarcane Magazine is pleased to present the 2021 Black and Basel Guide to showcase Miami Art Week and Art Basel Miami venues that reflect dynamic representations of Black creative expression from across the diaspora.

Sugarcane Magazine’s “Black and Basel Guide” was created to help visitors and South Florida locals feel connected to the contemporary art market. This year’s return-to-art guide shines a spotlight on a series of hybrid virtual and in-person events, auctions and exhibits that provide visibility to both emerging and established Black artists.
This year’s highlights include Art Basel’s Meridians sector of monumental works and installations, curated by Magali Arriola, director of Museo Tamayo, Mexico City. Look for Todd Gray’s “Sumptuous Memories of Plundering Kings” (2021), a 14-part work that explores European colonialism presented by David Lewis; Howardena Pindell’s “Sweatshop” (1998-1999) presented by Garth Greenan Gallery; and Yinka Shonibare CBE’s “Moving Up “(2021), an installation presented by James Cohan Gallery.

Hear Us: Writing from the Inside During the Time of Covid is a unique collection of poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and artwork. The 58 pieces from incarcerated writers, family members, and staff spanning from more than a dozen states –Alaska to California, Florida to Illinois, and more – describe how the pandemic and the killing of George Floyd impacted their lives.
The work shows, in vivid detail, how inequity and injustice play out in the era of mass incarceration. Originally published in collaboration with the New Orleans-based Disorder Press, with a foreword by award-winning author Edwidge Danticat, this cross-section of writers representing different religions, races, gender orientation, and writers with disabilities elevates the voices of those too-often silenced behind barbed wire.
On Thursday, November 4th at 7PM ET, we will be hosting a Hear Us National Launch! This one-hour virtual fundraiser event will include brief remarks by E4C and its cohost partners No Exceptions Prison Collective and Project Rebound, a special appearance by 2021 MacArthur Genius recipient Reginald Dwayne Betts, selected readings from Hear Us contributors, and a call to action. Tickets are priced on a sliding scale, and all proceeds will go to help more writers incarcerated in Florida have what they need to survive, thrive, and flourish.

Last month, The Green Family Foundation has the honor of attending Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts' 15th Anniversary Reunion Gala to celebrate the Center's impactful arts education & engagement programs. The introduction of The Ninth - an immersive theatre experience to bring youth mental health awareness to high schools across Miami Dade County - inspired Kimberly Green, Mireille Charles, and the Green Family Foundation to donate $15,000 to support its launch.
"The Green Family Foundation recognizes the importance of good emotional, psychological, and social wellbeing in teens, influencing their interaction with others, and their ability to handle stress and social interactions. The Arsht Center is uniquely positioned to reach Miami-Dade County’s teens through innovative and creative interventions. We are proud to support their efforts," Kimberly Green said.
