QUEEN OF THE SWAMP

This exhibit explores the aesthetics of impropriety as a solution within the context of South Florida’s swampland. In many ways, Miami’s Black and Indigenous communities are the instigators of Miami’s original architecture, infrastructure, and present culture. The architectural vernacular of Miami is analyzed through the history of Bahamian labor and construction of its infrastructure.
