What
is your Elephant?
Thursday,
May 30, 7 p.m.
The
Pompano Beach Cultural Center
50
W. Atlantic Blvd.
Pompano
Beach, FL 33064
The
short film ‘Caressed’ will be shown. It is an art film and
a self-portrait, mixed-media video installation combining performance
art and a poem Niki Lopez wrote about a traumatic childhood memory.
Niki was featured in People magazine regarding her growing up
in a cult and the abuse she endured. This intimate piece is a part of
a series with her personal artwork within the art movement: What’s
Your Elephant – Creative Conversations about the Unknown.
The intentions behind Lopez’ work is to not only share a personal
elephant but to have discussions surrounding unspoken topics such as
abuse, survivors of abuse, awareness, the power of a ‘share’ and
how the arts can be used to heal, to empower and to educate. This
session will also consist of a performance and artist lead discussion
based on the mission of “What’s Your Elephant.”Tickets for all events are $10 and
can be purchased at the door. For more information, visit

Bailey
Contemporary Arts (BaCA) presents “Tamiami Trail: In the
Beginning,” an exhibition of original artworks by members of the
Miami-based Tropical Botanic Artists collective. The botanical
subjects were selected to mark the 100th anniversary in 2015 of the
start of work on Tamiami Trail, a roadway begun in 1915 in Miami.
Today, it stretches across the Everglades from Miami to Naples and
northward to Tampa, through areas that were largely wilderness a
century ago. The exhibition’s more than 30 plant portraits depict
species found then and now in multiple vegetation zones along the
route. Due to human intervention and changes in water flow, some of
the plants illustrated are rare or endangered, and their predominant
locations may have shifted, but all persist in South Florida’s
landscape.
