Give Them Their Flowers is a first-of-its-kind exhibit to celebrate Miami’s Black LGBTQ+ history and comes at a critical time when Black and queer histories are under attack in Florida.
This exhibit pays homage to Miami’s Black queer history by merging historical research, archival imagery, artifacts, oral histories, video and portraits of Black LGBTQ+ Miamians over the age of 40.
Curated by community historian and founder of Black Miami-Dade, Nadege Green, Give Them Their Flowers rejects the exclusion of Black queer Miami history in the mainstream historical narratives about Miami’s Black and LGBTQ+ histories.
This exhibit presents works by Miami artists Vanessa Charlot, Kendrick Daye, Woosler Delisfort, Hued Songs and Loni Johnson—and is co-curated with Marie Vickles.
This exhibit is made possible with the generous support of Maven Leadership Collective and University of Miami’s Center for Global Black Studies.
You can see Give Them Their Flowers on display now through April 23rd at the Little Haiti Cultural Center located at 212 NE 59th Terrace, Miami, FL 33137.
