More About

This past February the Miami-Dade County Public Schools began bringing students to Lummus Park for field trips, marking a turning point for Keddell's patient efforts to expose the hidden in plain view. A visit to the park, a tour of the buildings, and a chat with artist/activist/ caretaker Willie Keddell provides a broader vision of the place we live, just as stepping back from a painting to view it deepens our perception. Keddell encourages us to experience our surroundings in three dimensions.
