Pouya at Revolution Live
Miami native Pouya built his career in the 2010s as a pioneer of the SoundCloud rap movement. He made a name for himself with mixtapes and independent releases like Underground Underdog (2016) and Blood Was Never Thick as Water (2021), and his breakout single “1000 Rounds” even went Gold. But he’s largely stayed an underground hometown hero, making his show at Fort Lauderdale’s Revolution Live a guaranteed highlight of his Only a Few Left Tour. 7 p.m. at Revolution Live, 100 SW Third Ave., Fort Lauderdale; 954-449-1025; jointherevolution.net. Tickets cost $44 via ticketmaster.com.

Club Sinema at Locust Projects
Local creatives could learn a thing or two from filmmaker and community organizer Angela Rio’s workshop on Club Sinema at Locust Projects. Rio’s grassroots Caribbean pop-up cinema and production house is redefining how stories are shared and who gets to tell them. Thursday’s session dives into the digital and community-based strategies that are fueling Miami’s Black and queer creative scenes. Later, performer Iman Clark, known onstage as Nami Flare, takes over with “Siren’s Allure,” a lush, multimedia burlesque performance that traces a siren’s journey from the Mississippi Delta to the Caribbean Sea. 7 p.m. at Locust Projects, 297 NE 67th St., Miami; 305-576-8570. Admission is free with RSVP via locusprojects.org.
The Wolfsonian-FIU’s 30th Anniversary
The Wolfsonian-FIU marks its 30th anniversary with a special Miami Beach Culture Crawl event. Throughout the night, you’ll enjoy a live musical performance and share a giant birthday cake with other revelers, all while exploring two new exhibitions that celebrate the museum’s global and local connections. “Modern Design Across Borders” traces the international exchange of ideas that shaped the modern aesthetic, while “La Superba” delves into the cultural legacy of Genoa and The Wolfsoniana, the museum’s Italian counterpart. 6 p.m. at The Wolfsonian-FIU, 1001 Washington Ave., Miami Beach; 305-531-1001. Admission is free with RSVP via wolfsonian.org.

Badfish at Revolution Live
What’s your favorite Sublime song? No doubt, Badfish can play it. The band has been performing Sublime’s reggae-infused rock songs since 2001. With nearly a quarter-century on the road, the tribute act has built a loyal following and expanded creatively to play its own original music. If you think you’ve heard “Santeria” one too many times, perhaps you need to hear it in a room of superfans belting it out at an indecent volume. 7 p.m. at Revolution Live, 100 SW Third Ave., Fort Lauderdale; 954-449-1025; revolutionlive.com. Tickets cost $35 via ticketmaster.com.
Pioneer Winter Collective’s Apollo at the Broward Center
Pioneer Winter Collective’s Apollo blends the disciplines of dance and theater to explore queer history themes, including intergenerational dynamics, memory, HIV/AIDS, and legacy. The performance reinterprets the Apollo of Greek mythology and Balanchine’s 1928 ballet through a queer lens. Instead of Muses, for example, the protagonist encounters three queer elders, past iterations of himself that challenge and guide him. The result? A story that celebrates connection across generations and redefines who gets to be celebrated on stage. 8 p.m. at the Broward Center, 201 SW Fifth Ave., Fort Lauderdale; 954-462-0222; browardcenter.org. Tickets cost $41 via ticketmaster.com.
