Thursday In case the terrible traffic and rudeness have distracted you, here’s a reminder: The city you live in is a tropical vacation destination. And though it might be tempting to jet off to a place like New York to see some new faces, you don’t have to, because the…
Located between the neighborhoods of Allapattah and Model City, 7th Avenue Sunday has a bourgeoning sense of energy, excitement, and diversity.
The 11th-annual RedEye, presented by ArtServe, will take place this Saturday from 6 to 10 p.m. in Fort Lauderdale.
A few months before 40-year-old writer Luis Felipe Garcia began his eight-and-a-half-year stint in prison, he was selling liquid acid at a party when he accidentally dosed himself with the equivalent of 200 hits. At the time, the author of the new collection of short stories, Missing, was taking buprenorphine,…
It’s 9 p.m. on a Friday, and the Mutiny Hotel in Coconut Grove is but a sleepy ghost of drug-addled days past. Isis Masoud, a tall, pretty, expectant mother with clear brown eyes that almost match her rusty-brown hair, sits on a gold vinyl couch stacked with embroidered pillows in…
You’ve undoubtedly heard of the Cannes Film Festival, the annual film-preview extravaganza held in Cannes, France. But have you heard of the Canine Film Festival? No? Well, it’s pretty much the same but with one small difference. You can probably guess what it is.
Dueling images of Catholic nuns portray either holier-than-thou punishers in habits or hippie types with acoustic guitars, like the postulant Maria in The Sound of Music. Both stereotypes obscure the fact that, in real life, a lot of nuns are just … kind of weird. At one of the many…
In third grade, Ashley Bellinger, a scrawny 8-year-old with a head too big for her body, was running around the playground at recess when a group of four classmates stopped her in her tracks. ”What’s wrong with you?” they asked, surrounding her. “Why are you black and your grandma and mom are white? Why are you so dark?”
We’re approaching July’s mid-point, which means we’re halfway through the summer months. For many of you you’re either just coming back from blowing your savings on a fancy vacation or trying to save pennies for an impending trip. You’ve got your priorities in order, so we’re here to help ease…
Somehow, while we were worrying about superheroes and star destroyers and hot rods and whether Captain America could beat up Superman or whatever, the goddamned Planet of the Apes movies became the most vital and resonant big-budget film series in the contemporary movie firmament. And they did it with the…
Scarface is indisputably one of the greatest movies shot in Miami. It was inspired in part by the city’s cocaine epidemic of the ’70s and ’80s. It included characters who had arrived here via the Mariel Boatlift. And its remake will soon be casting in, of all places, Atlanta.
It’s not easy having eyes all over the scene, being around to take in all the wild visuals at all the worthwhile places in the city. There are, however, those parties and gallery openings where a fortunate photographer can point and shoot. Every week, in collaboration with WorldRedEye, New Times…
This weekend, you have several options: You can reminisce about the past with shows from Paul McCartney and Metallica and parties with Andy Rourke and ’90s R&B, or you can live in the present with local art from the MUCE Summer Series and More Light or film from up-and-comers at the Miami Independent Film Festival. Or you can say f*** it…
It’s the journey, not the destination, for two artists and a photographer from Spain who have embarked on their biggest project yet: a 45-day mural-painting journey across the United State called Survibe. Last week, one of the stops on their Survibe tour landed right in the heart of downtown Miami, at the Centro Cultural Español de Cooperación Iberoamericana (CCEMiami).
Joining a wave of migration to Little Haiti — one that includes galleries such as Emerson Dorsch, Mindy Solomon, and Nina Johnson, as well as other cultural organizations — Exile Books has opened a storefront in the heart of the neighborhood. After three years in a small Wynwood studio, the small publisher is spreading its wings…
The 88th MLB All-Star Game takes place in Miami next week. Here are all the best events leading up to it.
Beginning June 7, Miami will draw Major League baseball fans from all over the world to be part of All-Star Weekend and see the All-Star Game at Marlins Park. It’s the city’s first time hosting the annual celebration of baseball, but not the first time Miami will have immersed…
Days before the Tupac Shakur biopic All Eyez on Me premiered, the news hit that John Singleton’s original script for the project opened the rapper’s story with Tupac being raped in prison. Singleton had left the ill-fated film twice before Benny Boom stepped in to helm it, but it was…
Thursday Maybe it’s a bit of an oddball pairing, but if you were born before 1970, you’ve probably enjoyed songs by both Rod Stewart and Cyndi Lauper. Whether you’re more in the “Maggie May” or the “Time After Time” camp, these legends have enough hits to keep you entertained the…
Maudie is hit-or-miss, but you’ll probably bawl anyway. Its creators have elected to dramatize nothing but the things that traditional narrative features usually botch. The film, directed by Aisling Walsh, surveys the life of a beloved artist, Nova Scotia’s self-taught folk painter Maud Lewis, who produced scores of cheerily primitive…
Venezuelan-born, Miami-based composer and sound artist Gustavo Matamoros might be the most approachable man in Miami music. Speaking with him about his artistic passions — theories of harmonization, ideal listening experiences, and, above all else, experimentation in sound — is almost a symphony unto itself, sweeping in its scope and ambition but grounded by a relatable presence and a smiling face.
The Welcome to Night Vale touring show will make its first-ever stop in Miami Friday, July 7, at the Olympia Theater, to perform an all-new script, titled “All Hail,” centered on the infamous glow cloud.
