SUMMARY:The Miami Creation Myth: How We Tell South Florida's Stories
DESCRIPTION:Every great civilization\, from the Ancient Greeks to the Egyptians\, Sumerians\, and Norse had their gods\, villains\, and heroes. These millennia-old stories of love\, violence\, honor\, and betrayal passed people’s beliefs about themselves to subsequent generations. They were altered through incalculable tellings to better fit changing norms and political ends\, but the core messages remained. \nAndrew Otazo fervently believes that Miami\, being a globally unique amalgamation of so many cultures\, deserves its own legendary cycle. In his talk\, he will read two chapters from The Miami Creation Myth\, a book he authored that immerses its readers in a universe with its own\, often absurd\, deities\, rules\, and norms—much like the city on which it is based. These modern myths use humor to delve into the wonderful richness\, as well as endemic privilege and cultural misunderstandings\, prevalent in one of America’s most diverse cities. \nSpecifically\, the chapters will cover this Miami-based universe’s creation and how its different communities were founded and interacted with each other. Before each chapter\, Otazo will provide context on the history of Miami that served as the inspiration for the dramatizations found in the book. \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nA native Miamian\, Andrew Otazo is a Cuban-American author who wrote a book titled The Miami Creation Myth. Andrew currently runs his own communications firm named ARO Communications which specializes in public relations strategy\, environmental\, social\, governance\, executive positioning\, and earned media. He previously worked at several international public relations agencies. \nAndrew served as the executive director of the Cuba Study Group\, where he advocated to policymakers on Capitol Hill. He published 17 academic publications that sold over 10\,000 copies to the world’s top universities\, graduate courses\, and corporations while a research associate at the Harvard Business School. Andrew also worked as a researcher at the Harvard Kennedy School and he helped implement U.S. foreign policy at the State Department. As Mexican President Felipe Calderón’s personal assistant\, he facilitated the decision-making process of one of the world’s highest-level policymakers. Andrew is a native Spanish speaker and proficient in Portuguese. \nAndrew removed 23\,000 pounds of trash from South Florida’s mangrove forests and ocean. He carried a 35-pound bag of mangrove trash (currently in History Miami’s permanent collection) the length of the 2019 Miami Marathon and led a team that hauled a 130-pound trash cart throughout the 2020 Miami Marathon. These efforts raised over $30\,500 to protect Miami’s coastal habitats. \nAndrew was named to Brickell Magazine’s Top 20 Under 40 List\, The New Tropic’s Locals to Know\, Local 10’s Most Treasured Citizen\, Miami’s Next Leader\, FAES Latino Leader in Politics\, and received two Proclamation from the Village of Key Biscayne. \nAndrew has lectured at the Harvard Law School\, Columbia Business School\, University of Miami\, Cornell\, Clemson\, Miami Dade College\, and local South Florida middle and high schools.

SUMMARY:Postwar Architectural Photography in South Florida and the Paradox of Pleasure
DESCRIPTION:Postwar photographers such as Ezra Stoller in New York and Julius Shulman in Southern California began working closely with mid-century architects\, capturing the clean lines of modern buildings\, and presenting them as progressive forms for ideal living enhanced by compelling landscapes and climates. Women photographers like Dorothea Lange and Berenice Abbott were also gaining attention through their anthropological and archaeological documentation. \nIn South Florida\, Marion Post Wolcott\, Samuel H. Gottscho\, and Max Waldman – all outsiders – were leading the way in capturing the changing cities\, buildings\, and landscapes of the region in the 1930s and 1940s. Among local photographers\, Gleason Waite Romer stood out as a formidable figure in South Florida and Cuba. \nBuilding on the work of these predecessors\, postwar photographers in South Florida such as Annette and Rudi Rada\, Jan Hankowski\, Joseph B. Brignolo\, and Klara Farkas\, among many others\, helped shape a vision of the built environment that coincided with the building boom that radically transformed the region into “The Capital of Vacationland.” \nThe paradox of all this new tourism of course was that the natural landscape that drew people to the region in the first place\, was transformed into a commercially conceived vision of an ideal landscape\, a utopian paradise with a comprehensive faith in technology\, construction\, and what John Dos Passos described so clearly in his 1936 book\, The Big Money\, as the dark side that underlined the pursuit of the American dream. \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nVictor Deupi is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Miami School of Architecture. His research focuses on the Early Modern Spanish and Ibero-American world\, mid-20th-century Cuba\, and contemporary architecture. His books include Architectural Temperance: Spain and Rome\, 1700-1759 (Routledge\, 2015)\, Transformations in Classical Architecture: New Directions in Research and Practice (Oscar Riera Ojeda Publishers\, 2018)\, Emilio Sanchez in New York and Latin America (Routledge\, 2020)\, and Cuban Modernism: Mid-Century Architecture 1940-1970\, with Jean-Francois Lejeune (Birkhäuser Verlag\, 2021). Dr. Deupi was the President of the CINTAS Foundation from 2016-2018 and is currently the President of the DOCOMOMO US Florida Chapter.

SUMMARY:Dwell Time
DESCRIPTION:Based on her just-published memoir\, Dwell Time\, conservator Rosa Lowinger discusses preserving modern tropical buildings in Miami and Havana. From mosaics\, murals\, and decorative cast stone to terracotta and ironwork\, Lowinger will show how repairing the key elements of 20th-century tropical architecture serves as a metaphor for personal healing after loss\, particularly the loss of one’s home. Zoom in on local conservation projects carried out by Lowinger—including the Wolfsonian facade\, Vizcaya Museum & Gardens\, and Miami Marine Stadium—as a springboard for conversation about how immigrants become comfortable in new places and new homes. After the talk\, stay behind for a book signing with the author at The Wolfsonian Design Store. \nOrganized with Miami Design Preservation League and presented as part of Art Deco Weekend. \nFree | Register

SUMMARY:The Florida House\, 1945-1965
DESCRIPTION:Often one story tall and built of concrete block—with a large screened-in porch\, Florida room (more commonly known today as a sunroom)\, louvered windows\, and carport—the Florida House became a popular vernacular form in South Florida after the Second World War. Not simply the result of builders copying designs by known architects like Igor Polevitzky and Paul Rudolph on the cheap\, the idea of the Florida House was cultivated by builders and developers hoping to lure northerners to the Sunshine State. Using colorful promotional materials and archival evidence\, scholar Anna Andrzejewski explores how these efforts were so successful that within a generation\, both coasts of South Florida were transformed into a sprawling suburban landscape. \nOrganized with Miami Design Preservation League and presented as part of Art Deco Weekend. \nFree | Register

SUMMARY:Deco Deep Dive
DESCRIPTION:The Wolfsonian–FIU is a treasure trove of materials from the period 1850–1950\, gathered from near and far. From the “frozen fountain” that once served as the facade of the Norris Theater in Pennsylvania to a Miami River bridge tender’s house\, many of the architectural features in the building have been repurposed to serve a new function. In this lecture\, Wolfsonian curator Lea Nickless will delve into the stories of these design elements (and collection objects) found in and around 1001 Washington Avenue—where did they come from\, and how did they end up in Miami Beach? \nOrganized with Miami Design Preservation League and presented as part of Art Deco Weekend. \nFree | Register

SUMMARY:Saving Special Places and Building Better Communities: Smart Growth in Florida
DESCRIPTION:For more than half a century\, Florida has relied on growth and sprawling development to fuel its economy. Sadly\, we continue to experience the tragic consequences of this approach\, which has been likened by some to a “Ponzi scheme.” Today\, Florida continues to face the consequences of rapidly growing population coupled with the looming threats of sea level rise and intensifying climate events. 1000 Friends of Florida has served as a state growth management “watchdog” organization since the 1980s and continues today to educate and empower citizens in the community planning process. \nOur latest project\, Sea Level 2040/2070\, examines population growth and sea level rise trends\, and demonstrates how the conservation of more land\, the protection of our historic and cultural resources in our legacy downtown communities\, and by encouraging smarter growth and development we can safeguard our quality of life for generations to come. \nAbout the Speaker \nSince January 2020\, Haley Busch has worked for 1000 Friends of Florida to promote sustainable growth through collaboration with civic and conservation organizations statewide. She works to connect a new generation of Floridians with 1000 Friends’ mission and assists in planning local workshops and other outreach events statewide. Prior to working for 1000 Friends\, Haley was the Administrator for the Florida Conservation Coalition where she helped conservation leaders build consensus on policy solutions to Florida’s pressing environmental challenges. A Gainesville native\, Haley graduated from Eckerd College\, Phi Beta Kappa\, and obtained her master’s degree in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of Florida. Haley resides in St. Petersburg where she enjoys kayaking\, birdwatching and cycling Pinellas County’s trails and greenways.

SUMMARY:Islandia: The Miami Beach That Wasn't
DESCRIPTION:In 1962\, property owners incorporated The City of Islandia into Dade County. Encompassing 33 islands in Biscayne Bay\, Islandia had a population in the single digits. Property owners lobbied for multiple different causeways from Mainland South Florida to their island community. They platted subdivisions. Everything seemed to be on track for major development of these “Pearl Islands” as Ralph Munroe called them. But then\, the Federal Government decided to create Biscayne National Park instead. What can we learn from this rare tale of environmental success in South Florida? Jason Katz\, publisher of Islandia Journal\, will tell you all about it. \nJason Katz is the publisher of Islandia Journal\, a (sub)tropical periodical of regional myth\, folklore\, history\, and ecology. He is a contributing editor to Burnaway Magazine. Jason was born and raised in Miami.

SUMMARY:Dancing in the Age of Deco
DESCRIPTION:In the 1920s and ’30s\, social dancing was more popular in America than at any other time in history. Dancing happened almost anywhere people got together\, infused with the same modern spirit that animated the art and architecture of the period. The popularity of dance created a vast infrastructure to support it\, from sumptuous dance palaces to nightclubs and many other building types\, often in the latest architectural styles. In this Art Deco Weekend talk\, historian and instructor Walter Nelson uses images and film from the era to capture this lost world of social dance\, correcting the very distorted view in today’s popular culture about how people danced in the past. \nOrganized by the Wolfsonian-FIU \nFree | Register

SUMMARY:The Father of Chinese Art Deco Architecture
DESCRIPTION:During the height of the Art Deco era\, a wave of Chinese artists came to Paris to learn from Western culture. Among them was architect Liu Jipiao\, the organizer and designer of China’s section at the famous 1925 Paris Exposition (which introduced the world to Art Deco)\, and a key figure in bringing modernist art and architecture to his home country. This Art Deco Weekend lecture features the architect’s granddaughter\, Jennifer Wong\, who will relate Liu’s life as a student in Paris\, his work as an architect and educator on his return to China\, and the dramatic change in fortunes that led to him and his family relocating to America. \nOrganized by The Wolfsonian-FIU and presented as part of Art Deco Weekend. \nFree | Register at the Wolfsonian-FIU website

SUMMARY:Deborah Desilets: Spotlight on Art in Public Places
DESCRIPTION:In the 1930s art and national symbolism converged within the Federal Arts Projects\, or the WPA Projects\, that supported the values of the American Public. The great Depression and these Arts Projects changed the relationship between art and the public and are the harbinger of the relationships of art in the public realm today. Federal Arts Projects aimed to express American civic pride; today there are challenges to those very arts works as values in the public have changed greatly. \nThis lecture addresses Morris Lapidus’s life-long battle for ornamentation in architecture. The intention is to look at the ornaments\, their symbolism\, and the lasting quality of the messages in his art pieces for public consumption in his early hotels on Miami Beach\, and his lasting contribution to the art experience on Lincoln Road. \nDeborah Desilets is a registered architect\, curator of the Morris Lapidus Exhibition\, and steward of the Morris Lapidus archives.

SUMMARY:Deco for a Demagogue: Father Coughlin's Shrine of the Little Flower
DESCRIPTION:The Shrine of the Little Flower\, a Catholic church built in the Art Deco style outside Detroit\, was the center of a radio empire started by Father Charles Coughlin that reached up to 30 million Americans each week in the 1930s. Originally an advocate of President Roosevelt’s New Deal and critic of the Ku Klux Klan\, Coughlin turned to anti-Semitism and support for fascism by the end of the decade. In a talk that reveals the links between design\, politics\, and power\, Wolfsonian chief librarian Frank Luca and curator Shoshana Resnikoff will trace Coughlin’s role in American life and shed light on how religion and rhetoric shaped the Deco design of his church. \nOrganized with Wolfsonian-FIU and presented as part of Art Deco Weekend. \nTickets must be obtained through the Wolfsonian-FIU’s website.

SUMMARY:When Radio Was New: John Vassos and Design for Mass Media
DESCRIPTION:What should a radio look like? How should a tuning dial feel to the touch? More than a half-century before the iPhone\, pioneering industrial designer John Vassos addressed these questions\, recognizing that the right answers could mitigate fears about new media technologies and inspire people to welcome them into their homes. Danielle Shapiro\, author of a book about Vassos\, will show how he contributed to the shape of radio and television receivers as a lead consultant to RCA in an age when these devices revolutionized how Americans consumed information and entertainment. \nOrganized with Miami Design Preservation League and presented as part of Art Deco Weekend. \nTickets must be obtained through the Wolfsonian-FIU’s website.

SUMMARY:A. Brad Schwartz: "Broadcast Hysteria: Orson Welles's War of the Worlds and the Art of Fake News"
DESCRIPTION:View the event on-demand at the following link: click here. Video will be available starting 1/14 at Noon EST. \nOn the evening of October 30\, 1938\, radio listeners across the United States heard a startling report of a meteor strike in the New Jersey countryside. With sirens blaring in the background\, announcers in the field described mysterious creatures\, terrifying war machines\, and thick clouds of poison gas moving toward New York City. As the invading force approached Manhattan\, some listeners sat transfixed\, while others ran to alert neighbors or to call the police. Some even fled their homes. But the hair-raising broadcast was not a real news bulletin-it was Orson Welles’s adaptation of the H. G. Wells classic The War of the Worlds. \nIn Broadcast Hysteria\, A. Brad Schwartz boldly retells the story of Welles’s famed radio play and its impact. Did it really spawn a “wave of mass hysteria\,” as The New York Times reported? Schwartz is the first to examine the hundreds of letters sent to Orson Welles himself in the days after the broadcast\, and his findings challenge the conventional wisdom. Few listeners believed an actual attack was under way. But even so\, Schwartz shows that Welles’s broadcast became a major scandal\, prompting a different kind of mass panic as Americans debated the bewitching power of the radio and the country’s vulnerability in a time of crisis. When the debate was over\, American broadcasting had changed for good\, but not for the better. \nAs Schwartz tells this story\, we observe how an atmosphere of natural disaster and impending war permitted broadcasters to create shared live national experiences for the first time. We follow Orson Welles’s rise to fame and watch his manic energy and artistic genius at work in the play’s hurried yet innovative production. And we trace the present-day popularity of “fake news” back to its source in Welles’s show and its many imitators. Schwartz’s original research\, gifted storytelling\, and thoughtful analysis make Broadcast Hysteria a groundbreaking new look at a crucial but little-understood episode in American history. \n  \nAbout the speaker: \nA. Brad Schwartz is a doctoral candidate at Princeton University\, studying 20th century American history with a special interest in questions of media and journalism\, law and policing\, and the cultural production of history. His undergraduate thesis at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor explored Orson Welles’s 1938 War of the Worlds radio broadcast\, drawing upon an untapped trove of listener letters to challenge the standard narrative of the so-called “panic broadcast.” This research became the basis for his first book\, Broadcast Hysteria: Orson Welles’s War of the Worlds and the Art of Fake News (Hill and Wang\, 2015).
