"FloodZones" Opens at HistoryMiami

Photographer Anastasia Samoylova's photographic series, "FloodZone," responds to the environmental changes taking place in South Florida's coastal cities. The 46-image installation at HistoryMiami takes a closer look at how residents and visitors interact with the unnatural urban landscape as the threat — and denial — continues to grow year after year. On Thursday, the museum will host the exhibition's grand opening, where you'll have the chance to meet Samoylova and discuss her work. 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, October 14, at HistoryMiami, 101 W. Flagler St., Miami; 305-375-1492; historymiami.org. Admission is free with RSVP.

Magic City Market at Casa Florida

Magic City Market will pop up on Sunday, giving patrons a chance to shop local while enjoying a chill atmosphere. JennyLee Molina and Natasha Benitez are behind the concept, and between the two, they have years of event-planning experience, so expect this to be a polished affair.

Noon to 5 p.m. Sunday, October 17, at Casa Florida, 437 SW Second St., Miami; themagiccitymarket.com. Admission is free.
