Miami, FL – November 1, 2018 – Hundreds of attendees gathered at Knight Concert Hall at Adrienne Arsht Center for the 11th Annual Creative Time Summit, an annual convening for thinkers, dreamers, and doers working at the intersection of art and politics held in Miami for the first time. Titled On Archipelagos and Other Imaginaries—Collective Strategies to Inhabit the World, the Summit takes coalition as a central theme, and utilizes the archipelago as a framework to delve into Miami’s historical connection to the Caribbean and, by extension, to Latin America and the entire world. The topics under discussion ranged from immigration and borders to climate realities, notions of intersectional justice, gentrification, tourism as an enabler for neocolonialism, and the roles art and activism can play in all these pressing issues. The Summit was made up of four thematic sections: “Facing climate realities, reimagining a green future,” “Toward an intersectional justice,” “Resisting displacement and violence,” and “On boundaries and a borderless future.” Creative Time Summit: On Archipelagos and Other Imaginaries—Collective Strategies to Inhabit the World is co-presented with Art in Public Places of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, with leading support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
