Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Sometimes a title alone can inspire interest. (Think Naked Coeds or 1000 Faceplants You Don’t Want to Miss.) Such is the case with O Cinema‘s week-long transmedia event, Art Meow-sel. Has a nice ring to it, no?
Art Meow-sel exhibits include “Cat Art: The Good, The Bad, The Unbelievable & Other Ridiculousness”; “Bad Cat Art”; and “The Man’s Multi-Colored Post-It Movie Cat Wall.” There’ll also be a “CATWANG Photo Booth,” whatever that is, plus an appearance by Miss Gremlin De La Bushes, works by Cat Del Buono, Diana Leidel, Antonia Catherine, plus an “I must have that sh*t” Pop Cultural Tchotchkes Sale.
Acolytes of the Absurd, it’s time to swoon now (or, more appropriately, meow.)
