FlorONA 2020-21
Pandemic Fashion Installation and Performance
This year, fro our Paradavias Series we collaborated with the Feta Foundation. We created and the Bridge Miami will be celebrating it with an afternoon of in-person installations and performances. Milica Paranosic (NYC) presented a collection of her COVID paraphernalia (masks, face-shields, gloves, goggles and hand sanitizers), transforming them into fashion and sounding objects. Based on his life in Everglades, the choreographer and dancer Yukio Suzuki (Tokyo) will swirl in Cross-pollination, a collaborative project with the Miami-based composer and sound artist Juraj Kojš. Nicole Martinez and Fereshteh Toosi also contributed with their sonic works to our spring gathering.
Performances begin at 6, 7 and 8PM. Installations will run 6-9PM.
Bring an instrument, a sounding object, chair and spring mood. Join the happening.
Bring a friend.
With the support of the Bridge, Harold Golen Gallery, PAXy, AIRIE, Paracademia and Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners.
