Lately, you might have found yourself asking, “How would I react to the complete degradation of the world as we know it in the event of, say, a third world war or Nazi uprising?” Well, this weekend could provide something of an answer. If you’re the solutions-oriented type…
Thursday The Prism Creative Group has been busy pumping us full of Miami culture this summer. This week, it’s gifting us a performance by Venezuelan songstress Manu Manzo, sweets by Elsie’s Flour Shop, and food from Fufi Restaurant in the last installment of its Summer Crafts and Concerts series. Madewell…
Neo-Nazis are marching in the streets, Mercury is in retrograde, and the sun will disappear from the daytime sky in a week. It’s OK to be a little overwhelmed, but you don’t have to escape with a therapeutic shopping spree or a night of expensive diversions. See a free movie Tuesday in South Miami and free music Saturday in Coral Gables and Wynwood, or head to Miami Beach for National Rum Day this Wednesday or a pool party over the weekend. You’ve got options, so don’t despair.
The tail end of summer is a mixed bag – on the one hand, endless diaper rash on parts of your body you didn’t think could sweat; on the other, the final vestiges of the kind of reckless abandon that only college kids on their off-time could imbue into the air. If you’re trying to get all you can out of these last precious weeks, here are the concerts, festivals, and tours that will make venturing into the heat totally worth it.
In case you’re in a heat-induced stupor, yesterday was 8/08 — meaning August 8, but also 808 Day, a celebration of the electronic drum machine. You know, the one that Future and Jay-Z have shouted out in lyrics, the one countless other artists have used to make mainstream pop, R&B,…
Thursday A life of controversy and drama can seem like good press for a young artist. But Kodak Black’s trips in and out of jail on charges ranging from drug possession to sexual assault have hampered his stardom as opposed to helping it. Still, South Floridians can’t help but feel…
When New Times covered the Miami chapter of the Bearded Villains almost two years ago, they were a group of 16 men who had raised money to help homeless men with beards, as well as to send Matthew Mirabel, a boy with leukemia, on a Disney cruise through the Make-A-Wish Foundation…
Don’t bust your budget getting busy in Miami this week. Go to these free events instead.
Local band Chicken Liquor collaborates with Miami artist Antonia Wright on music video for “Quince.”
We routinely bemoan our daily grind, but it’s a good practice to feel blessed for the mindless labor we engage in for the sake of some paper. So while we gather with family and friends to enjoy the weekend — whether we attend DanceAfrica in Little Haiti, Bill Maher’s show in South Beach, or the Pangea Water Party in Wynwood — let’s remember we’re lucky to not work in an organization like the Trump administration, where our jobs aren’t in constant jeopardy for any reason. Gratitude is the attitude!
Thursday Even if you haven’t smoked lots of psychoactive drugs, you’ve probably spent more time than you’d like to admit staring at those screen savers that change shapes based on the music that’s playing. PAMM’s latest Free Community Night is taking this concept to a new level with Sacred Geometry,…
You can go late-night bowling, celebrate Whitney Houston’s birthday, or chow down on some grilled goods this week without the anxiety of wondering where your money is going, ’cause you won’t need to spend it.
From Questlove at Floyd to ’80s Flashback Fest at Churchill’s, these are the best things to do in Miami this weekend.
It’s always a bit troubling when a theme of the past becomes fashionable again, decades after its inception, in a way that’s completely unrelated to nostalgia. In 2004, it was the crimped hair and fishnets of the ’80s, the same way that chokers and flannel from the ’90s are cute now. The reasons behind these recurring trends are unclear; they just seem to pop up, like an unavoidable cycle of resurfacing imagery that only some can recognize as vaguely familiar.
Malcolm X died more than 50 years ago, but his life and legacy become increasingly relevant as police brutality and white supremacy become more and more visible. In Seven Songs for Malcolm X, artist John Akomfrah examines the life of the famous activist and intellectual with surrealist reenactments and…
There’s still plenty of summer left, and if you’ve spent the past couple of months shielding yourself from paying for outdoor festivals and beach-day parking, we don’t blame you. But things can be different this week. From Dadeland to Coral Gables to South Beach, jump from one air-conditioned place to another without squandering your pennies.
If you were shocked this week by news of R. Kelly’s sex cult, never fear. This weekend has plenty of distractions in store, from shows by Dead Prez and Nice & Smooth to South Beach all-nighters and Swim Week madness. You’ll be so busy sipping, dancing, and ogling that you…
Thursday: We may know him as the hurricane expert who guided South Florida through one of the worst storms in its history, but Bryan Norcross has continued to have a prestigious career as a hurricane specialist, covering the devastating Hurricane Sandy and routinely scrutinizing government response to natural disasters. In…
Five years ago, Lebron James and Dwyane Wade were still with the Miami Heat and we re-elected Barack Obama. In retrospect, it feels like a simpler, safer time to have been alive. But just because we’re in a social nosedive doesn’t mean 2012’s legacy doesn’t live on. Take Cheap Miami,…
Evelyn Onyejuruwa is the founder of Ankara Miami, an events company that focuses on fashion from Africa and the African diaspora. After four years of growing African Fashion Week, Ankara hosted its first Ankara Swim Week last year. The summer event is a truncated version of its winter counterpart, with a focus on swimwear and resort wear.
What do you picture when you hear the word “Brochella”? Frat boys, perhaps? Glistening biceps coming out of pastel tank tops atop board shorts that are tragically also a pastel color? At BroLife Music Group’s Brochella Weekend, that couldn’t be much further from the truth. Head to the BroLife website…
Nothing makes you feel quite as broke as sharing space with fashionistas and supermodels. And while there are plenty of before and after photos to show you that beauty is in the hand of the richest bitch, you can still feel fabulous during Swim Week with just a couple of…
