SUMMARY:Miami's Desi Arnaz: Achieving the American Dream
DESCRIPTION:In 1933\, Batista’s Cuban Revolution forced Desi Arnaz and his dad to flee to Miami\, where the penniless 16-year-old arrived without the ability to speak\, read\, or understand English. He cleaned canary cages\, laid tile\, and struggled to save money by sleeping in a warehouse. \nAt St. Patrick Catholic School\, Desi learned English\, practiced guitar\, and picked up the conga drum and after graduation played gigs at the Roney Plaza Hotel. In 1937 he was booked to open the 200-seat Park Avenue nightclub where it was quickly apparent Desi’s pick-up musicians couldn’t play the Latin rhythms Arnaz had promised. Afraid of being fired on his first night\, Arnaz recalled a hypnotic rhythm played at Cuban parties and quickly taught the musicians to play a cadence of ‘One-two-three-KICK!’ Beating his conga drum in time\, Desi shouted to the audience to follow him out of the Park Avenue and around Collins Park. The mania that followed what he called his ‘Dance of Desperation’ launched Arnaz into stardom and started ‘The Conga Craze’ in America. \nWhat followed were roles on Broadway\, motion pictures\, the formation of his own orchestra\, the production and ownership of ‘I Love Lucy’\, the creation of modern television\, and his purchase of RKO Studios. And it all started right here in Miami Beach. \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nGary McKechnie is a member of the Florida Humanities Speakers Bureau\, with presentations including this talk as well as ‘Sunshine State Soundtrack’ (a round-up of famous Florida-born musicians). McKechnie is a former stand-up comedian improv actor\, and author of the nation’s best-selling motorcycle guidebook\, Great American Motorcycle Tours\, and a two-time National Geographic author (USA 101 and Ten Best of Everything: National Parks). \nMcKechnie has written for Walt Disney World\, Fodor’s travel guides\, Rand McNally\, AOL\, People\, National Geographic Traveler\, the Washington Post\, Harley-Davidson\, Orlando magazine\, Florida magazine\, Chicago Tribune\, Atlanta Constitution\, Orlando Sentinel\, Miami Herald\, and United Airlines’ Hemispheres. \nAdditionally\, he is a two-time winner of the Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Award\, a member of the Society of America Travel Writers\, and covered back road destinations throughout the state as Visit Florida’s ‘Off the Beaten Path’ Insider. In 2014 he was selected by the Motorcycle Industry Council to appear as on-camera talent and chronicle the Cannon Ball Centennial Ride\, a 3\,450-mile cross-country motorcycle expedition. \nTogether with his wife\, Nancy Howell\, he owned and operated Mount Dora’s Coconut Cottage Inn from 2000-2018 and also teamed up to write ‘A Brief History of Mount Dora’ for the History Press. At sea\, he lectures on American travel\, culture\, and music aboard the Queen Mary 2\, Queen Victoria\, Queen Elizabeth\, and the ships of Seabourn and Silversea. As a community activist\, he initiated the drive to renovate the Mount Dora Community Building and created a 501(c)3 non-profit Mount Dora Community Building Foundation to aid in its operation. He also formed the non-profit Mabel Norris Reese Tribute Fund\, Inc. which was successful in crowd-sourcing the funds to create a monument to the courageous editor of the Mount Dora Topic who faced repeated death threats for her defense of civil rights during the 1950s. \nIn 2018 he ran as the Democratic candidate for Florida State Senate\, District 12. Most recently\, he initiated the successful drive to honor Desi Arnaz with a Florida Historic Marker which is scheduled to be unveiled in Spring 2024.

SUMMARY:Florida’s First Travelogue: A Spanish Shipwreck Survivor’s Memoir of Enslavement with the Calusa Tribe for 17 Years
DESCRIPTION:Hernando D’Escalante Fontaneda was 13 years old when he survived a shipwreck in Florida in 1549. He and his brother were sailing from their home in Cartagena to be educated in Salamanca\, Spain. In his memoir\, Fontaneda wrote that the Calusas enslaved him rather than martyring him\, like other shipwreck survivors\, because he obeyed their commands to sing and dance. Seventeen years later\, St. Augustine was founded and Fontaneda united with Governor Menendez to become his interpreter with Florida’s tribes for five years\, as he claimed to have learned most tribes’ languages during his captivity. Many names of places in modern Florida were first written in his memoir\, like “Mayaimi”\, “Ocale”\, “Apalache”\, “Tanpe”\, and more. His memoir describes the plants\, animals\, foods\, customs\, geography\, and other details of pre-Spanish Florida\, interwoven with personal stories and observations\, mainly to help Spain settle and colonize the new territory. Fontaneda’s observations about pre-Spanish Florida will be discussed in the lecture\, as well as the “New World” he lived in. \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nStuart Reed is an attorney and mediator living in Miami Beach\, Florida. Reed opened his first solo office in 1997 in Miami Beach’s Historic City Hall. Soon after\, he became a member and chair of the Sierra Club’s Miami Group and the City of Miami Beach’s Marine Authority. Reed is currently a member of the City of Miami Beach’s Historic Preservation Board and was recently a member of the Miami Design Preservation League’s Board of Directors. \nBefore he attended law school at Florida State University from 1989-1992\, he worked for Miami Dade County’s Department of Environmental Resources Management as a pollution control inspector. He graduated from the University of Virginia in 1988 with major studies in Environmental Sciences. In 2003\, he kayaked around the full circumference of Biscayne Bay with two friends\, which took 8 days. At that time\, he kayaked often and frequently wondered what life was like for the Tequesta tribe before the Spanish arrived\, with so much seafood and fresh water around Biscayne Bay. \nIn 2006\, he attended a lecture at the Wolfsonian Museum about the Tequesta tribe by Bob Carr\, the state’s chief archaeologist who was supervising the Miami Circle’s excavation. He said that almost everything we know about Florida before Spanish settlement came from Fontaneda’s memoirs. Since then\, learning about Fontaneda and the world he lived has been a passion for Reed. Says Reed: “His story is like a long-lost Spanish treasure that deserves to be shared with a wider audience.”

SUMMARY:Radio Waves: Miami Beach and the Golden Age of Radio
DESCRIPTION:Today Miami Beach is one of the most “broadcasted” locations in the world\, but 100 years ago the age of broadcasting was just becoming a reality. \nThis exhibition explores the first consumer mass media device and how it helped promote and shape Miami Beach’s early development. As radio proliferated through the first half of the twentieth century\, Miami Beach also transformed from an untamed barrier island into a famous tourism and cultural destination. \nRadio quickly became the “rage” in the mid-1920s as more and more Americans realized that owning a radio meant news\, entertainment\, weather\, and politics could be transmitted wirelessly to them from the comfort of their homes. The radio brought families together to listen to broadcasts in their living rooms\, connecting people to faraway places and signaling the start of the machine age. \nMiami Beach’s pioneers recognized that promotion was vital to its success. They broke the mold by adding radio stations to their hotels\, broadcasting a message from this city carved from a jungle. \nRadio styles were dynamic\, often reflecting American culture and industrial design. Movies\, architecture\, automobiles\, and the 1939 World’s Fair were a few such examples. The materials from which radio chassis were made such as wood\, resins\, plastics\, metals\, and mirrored glass\, provided an endless array of aesthetically pleasing choices – many of which are highlighted in this exhibit. \nRadio Waves explores the Golden Age of Radio beginning in the 1920s to the late 1950s\, as manifested by the distinctive architecture of Miami Beach. Art Deco\, Streamline\, and Mid-Century Modern hotels and apartments houses designed by some of America’s foremost architects continue to welcome guests to the sun\, sand\, and sea of the City of Miami Beach. \nMiami-Dade Residents: Free Admission; General Ticket: $7 \nAt the Art Deco Museum  \n1001 Ocean Drive \nOpen Daily 9 am – 5 pm  \nhappening now\, through February 15\, 2024

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:Movie Lover's Guide to South Beach
DESCRIPTION:Miami Beach is a favorite locale for on-location shooting of films and TV series. While most of the stories are fictitious\, the process of on-location shooting captures a record of a place as it was at a particular point in time. We witness all the elements that comprise a neighborhood; its buildings\, its people\, the noise\, even the level of automobile traffic. We will reconstruct the history of Art Deco and the City of Miami Beach by presenting short movie clips and frame freezes from films to illustrate the ever-changing nature of Miami Beach\, its buildings\, and its people. “Movie magic” will be dissected with a demonstration of a hard-to-see internal joke and impossible location movements not readily visible to the casual observer. \nAbout the Guide \nJoel Levine is Board Chair of the Miami Design Preservation League. Prior to retiring from a career in medical and educational administration\, he collected and restored radios and televisions from the Art Deco and Mid Century Modern periods (1925-1970). Joel uses unconventional sources\, including movie clips and picture postcards to tell a story about a place and its people. He has presented in Miami Beach\, Tel Aviv\, Mauritius\, and Napier\, New Zealand.

SUMMARY:Miami's Secret Floating Village
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by people he met while working on the Christo Surrounded Islands project\, David Bricker found himself living aboard chasing stories here in Miami\, throughout the Bahamas\, and across the Atlantic. Realizing that he was living in a storybook\, he wrote about and photographed his adventures. Not only is this talk historically surprising and interesting\, it reveals an important truth—that adventure can be had in real life and not just in books and movies. \nAbout the Speaker \nDave Bricker is a resident of Coral Gables and has an MFA in Visual Communications. Bricker taught at the Art Institute in Miami for 15 years. He has been a speaker at numerous conferences and corporate events\, including National Speakers Association events. He offers training programs in storytelling for leaders and teams. He is an award-winning professional speaker and author of 13 books who spent many years living aboard sailboats in Miami’s Dinner Key Anchorage. That anchorage\, “the secret floating village\,” is located a quarter-mile from Miami City Hall.

SUMMARY:Radio Waves: Miami Beach and the Golden Age of Radio
DESCRIPTION:Today Miami Beach is one of the most “broadcasted” locations in the world\, but 100 years ago the age of broadcasting was just becoming a reality. \nThis exhibition explores the first consumer mass media device and how it helped promote and shape Miami Beach’s early development. As radio proliferated through the first half of the twentieth century\, Miami Beach also transformed from an untamed barrier island into a famous tourism and cultural destination. \nRadio quickly became the “rage” in the mid-1920s as more and more Americans realized that owning a radio meant news\, entertainment\, weather\, and politics could be transmitted wirelessly to them from the comfort of their homes. The radio brought families together to listen to broadcasts in their living rooms\, connecting people to faraway places and signaling the start of the machine age. \nMiami Beach’s pioneers recognized that promotion was vital to its success. They broke the mold by adding radio stations to their hotels\, broadcasting a message from this city carved from a jungle. \nRadio styles were dynamic\, often reflecting American culture and industrial design. Movies\, architecture\, automobiles\, and the 1939 World’s Fair were a few such examples. The materials from which radio chassis were made such as wood\, resins\, plastics\, metals\, and mirrored glass\, provided an endless array of aesthetically pleasing choices – many of which are highlighted in this exhibit. \nRadio Waves explores the Golden Age of Radio beginning in the 1920s to the late 1950s\, as manifested by the distinctive architecture of Miami Beach. Art Deco\, Streamline\, and Mid-Century Modern hotels and apartments houses designed by some of America’s foremost architects continue to welcome guests to the sun\, sand\, and sea of the City of Miami Beach. \nMiami-Dade Residents: Free Admission; General Ticket: $7 \nAt the Art Deco Museum  \n1001 Ocean Drive \nOpen Daily 9 am – 5 pm  \nhappening now\, through February 15\, 2024
