The Fire Next Time

Resistance, Resilience, Creation.

December 1 - 5, 2021

Miami Ironside, 7610 Northeast 4th Ct, Suite 104, Miami, Florida 33138.

AfriKin, a curator of African arts and cultures, presents works from artists highlighting African/Diasporic perspectives in contemporary art in an exhibition of renderings transmitting liberation and strength as it evaluates intersectionality through contemporary art. AfriKin Art Fair is a consideration of the necessity and power of art for musing on the future, with the words of James Baldwin coming to mind … “God gave Noah the rainbow sign … No more water, the fire next time”.

Distinguished and welcoming evenings set the tone for the fusing of creative elements within Miami’s modernist architectural landscape -- James Baldwin's appreciation of being human provides a framework for experiencing the depth of art and Jazz and the process of re-centering ourselves in a shared kinship.

The Breakfast Lectures launch the conversations about issues in the politics and aesthetics of James Baldwin and their resonance in today's contemporary world. AfriKin fuses the present, past and future in a new becoming... This 2021 annual exhibition rereads the process of reconstructing what it means to be human away from the mad construct of “life unworthy of life”. How can this be remedied in the twenty-first century? How have artists responded to the assaults that currently beset the world? How have artists provided a counter-narrative of radical autonomy unfazed by merely restating the tacit necessity of the place of art in society? We are building a new model and are creating a new landscape through the power of art and culture … looking at the challenges that we are facing, not as obstacles, but as opportunities for awakening.
