This summer, Miami’s own Masisi collective returns to The Bass for a dynamic three-part residency celebrating diasporic creativity, queer community, and cultural joy.

Each month, Masisi brings a new wave of sound, movement, and gathering to assume vivid astro focus: XI—a floor-to-ceiling installation that fuses sculpture, video, and design into a vibrant, participatory environment. Founded by Akia Dorsainvil, Masisi is a Black Queer Afro-Caribbean collective known for creating events that blend nightlife, storytelling, and performance. Through a series of evening programs featuring DJ sets, film screenings, live activations, and more, Masisi invites guests to experience the exhibition in entirely new ways—cultivating connection, expression, and exchange.
