Inspired together by liberation work, Maroonage, Miccosukee symbology, somatic healing, Afro & Indigenous futurism, plant medicine, biomimicry, and holding the contradictions of the urban matrix. Woven together with themes from teamLab, Es Devlin, and James Turrell’s inaugural exhibitions at Superblue Miami, exploring the relationships between our body and the land, nature and technology, the individual and the collective.
