Events

In At the Mouth of the Miami River, artist Christina Pettersson will present a historical South Florida adaptation of a tableau vivant performance and plein air drawing session, bringing to life local historic characters and flora and fauna. As visitors walk The Underline, they will find performers representing historical figures – such as the true Mother of Miami, Mary Brickell, facing her avenue; the villain Flagler standing where his train once ran; a Bahamian pioneer upon excavated limestone; or an ancient coontie plant offering bread from its own arrowroot.

The audience will be invited to sit at easels and draw the actors, who will simultaneously engage those drawing in discussions related to the history of the characters they represent.

🎟 This event is FREE to the public.
