The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort “Take PRIDE!” 2025 free photo exhibition
Zorita’s World, featuring photography highlights from the life and career of famed burlesque dancer, icon and LGBTQ+ advocate Zorita, along with costumes and other historical artifacts..

Zorita’s World offers a glimpse into the life and career of famed burlesque dancer and icon Zorita, as well as her same-sex relationships and networks of friends. The performer and entrepreneur pushed boundaries in Miami and beyond in the 1940s, ‘50s, and ‘60s – a time when so much of what she did was often controversial and illegal. Today, perhaps more than ever, her legacy and influence offer important lessons on the power of individuals in shaping history and making necessary waves towards progress. The exhibit is curated by Julio Capo, Jr., Ph.D., an author and associate professor of history at Florida International University.

Additional contributors to this year’s reception and exhibit are Stonewall National Museum, Archives & Library and Florida International University. Capó curated a different exhibition on Zorita’s life in 2024 for Stonewall National Museum, Archives & Library.

The exhibition, located near Swarovski, between Macy’s and Dillard’s, will be free and open to the public during Galleria Fort Lauderdale hours.

History Fort Lauderdale’s “Take PRIDE!” is sponsored by co-presenter Galleria Fort Lauderdale and title sponsor The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort, The Our Fund Foundation, HotSpots Media Group/Happening Out Television Network and GPR | Goodman Public Relations. Additional funding is provided in part by Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward County Cultural Council and Visit Lauderdale – Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau.
History Fort Lauderdale, proud steward of our community’s past by making our heritage accessible and engaging to residents and visitors, hosts a variety of engaging multicultural experiences, year-round. It seeks to bring awareness to the community through both traveling exhibits and multiple permanent exhibits including “Women Trailblazers,” “Fort Lauderdale – the Early Years,” “Roots of Resilience: The Journey of Black Broward,” “Fashion & Musical Theatre,” “From Dugouts to Dream Yachts: the story of boatbuilding along the New River,” Seminole Arts & Culture,” “New River Archaeology” and “Viva Fort Lauderdale: Celebrating Hispanic Art & Culture.”

In honor of PRIDE Month, History Fort Lauderdale and Galleria Fort Lauderdale will present The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort “Take PRIDE!” 2025, a ticketed benefit reception and exhibition honoring and showcasing LGBTQ+ community advocates. On Wednesday, June 18, at 6 p.m., a special opening preview reception hosted by FayWhat?! and previous “Take PRIDE!” honoree Shawn “Kitty Meow” Palacious will pay tribute to 10 new impactful LGBTQ+ community leaders with a special performance by Rianna Petrone along with music by DJ Jay McCracken of Spiked Entertainment. From June 19 – July 13, the public is invited to view the FREE companion exhibition, Zorita’s World, featuring photography highlights from the life and career of famed burlesque dancer, icon and LGBTQ+ advocate Zorita, along with costumes and other historical artifacts. As an added bonus, attendees can meet Fred Fejes and Rick Karlin, authors of “Last Call South Florida – A History of 1001 LGBTQ-Friendly Taverns, Haunts & Hangouts,” for a book signing.

The 2025 “Take PRIDE!” honorees who have made significant contributions to the South Florida community are: Steve Glassman, City of Fort Lauderdale District 2 Commissioner; the Honorable Robert Lee retired judge; Scott Holland, vice president of operations and associate publisher of HotSpots! magazine and Happening Out Network; Michael Berry, complex general manager at The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort; FayWhat?! Albernas, of The FayWhat?! Show on the Happening Out Television Network; Velvet Lenore, entertainer and philanthropist; T.P. Lords, entertainer and choreographer; Tony Lima, CEO and executive director, SunServe; Franchesca D’Amore, founding president and executive director of TransEd and Ed Hashek, arts advocate and philanthropist.

The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort “Take PRIDE!” 2025 exhibit will feature photos and ephemera from Zorita’s World, the life and career of famed burlesque dancer and icon Zorita, as well as her same-sex relationships and networks of friends. The performer and entrepreneur pushed boundaries in Miami and beyond in the 1940s, ‘50s, and ‘60s – a time when so much of what she did was often controversial and illegal. Today, perhaps more than ever, her legacy and influence offer important lessons on the power of individuals in shaping history and making necessary waves towards progress. The exhibit is curated by Julio Capo, Jr., Ph.D., an author and associate professor of history at Florida International University.

Additional contributors to this year’s reception and exhibit are Stonewall National Museum, Archives & Library and Florida International University. Capó curated a different exhibition on Zorita’s life in 2024 for Stonewall National Museum, Archives & Library.

The exhibition, located near Swarovski, between Macy’s and Dillard’s, will be free and open to the public during mall hours.

Academy Award-winning director Paul Wagner trains his lens onto one of the most influential American artists of the 20th-century. Prior to achieving her fame, Georgia O’Keeffe spent every summer from 1912-1916 taking art classes at the University of Virginia, where she rekindled her joy and desire to pursue painting, which she had considered giving up altogether.

Spiritually replenished, “The Mother of Modernism” headed for New York, upending the 1920s art scene with groundbreaking paintings of flowers, bones, and the splendor of the natural world. Denying her work depicted sexual imagery, she also posed nude for controversial photographs taken by Alfred Stieglitz. In the 1970s, isolated in the New Mexico desert, O’Keeffe emerged as a second-wave feminist icon.

Weaving together a fascinating and complicated story of an artistic life lived to the fullest, this essential biography features narration by Hugh Dancy and Claire Danes, and music by Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch (All of Us Strangers, Living).

Join Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator (DVCAI) at Barry for an intimate artist conversation featuring L.A. Samuelson and Amanda Bradley, the visionary artists behind the experimental multimedia exhibition “Across ebb and flow.” This exclusive dialogue offers audiences the opportunity to go deeper into the creative processes, collaborative dynamics, and individual artistic practices that shaped this groundbreaking exploration of Caribbean diaspora themes.

About the Conversation: Moderated by the DVCAI at Barry Curatorial Team, Rosie Gordon-Wallace, Lauryn Lawrence, and Louise Martorano, this artist conversation provides unique insights into how both artists approach themes of belonging, transformation, and “in-between states” through their distinct yet complementary practices.

Samuelson and Bradley will discuss their responsive collaboration, the evolution of their works “Telegraph Valley” and “From One Sea,” and how their artistic practices engage with questions of home, memory, and cultural identity.

Featured Artists:

L.A. Samuelson is an interdisciplinary choreographer working in performance, sculpture, and new media. Their installation “Telegraph Valley” deconstructs the body as a “house for the soul” metaphor, exploring how we find home in bodies that experience loss while accumulating life.

Amanda Bradley is a Belizean American artist, photographer, and curator whose photographic installation “From One Sea” centers the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean as sites of memory, inviting viewers to become active participants in a visual narrative that bridges the seen, felt, and spoken.

This conversation is part of the ongoing exhibition “Across ebb and flow,” on view June 26 – September 30, 2025, during regular library hours. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage directly with the artists and gain deeper understanding of their innovative approaches to multimedia storytelling and Caribbean diaspora narratives.

About DVCAI at Barry: Located at the Monsignor William Barry Library on the Barry University campus, DVCAI at Barry presents cutting-edge contemporary art that engages with themes of cultural identity, migration, and belonging.

Across ebb and flow is a two-person exhibition featuring installations by artists L.A. Samuelson, an interdisciplinary choreographer working in performance, sculpture, and new media, and Amanda Bradley, a Belizean American artist, photographer, and curator. Both artists present works that are adaptive to site and transform with each iteration of presentation.

Join us for the opening reception as we witness the premiere performance of Telegraph Valley at 7:00 PM—created and performed by L.A. Samuelson in collaboration with Dramaturg Elle Hong and Sound Artist Adam Stone. Assembled from house frames, ladders, floating decks, mattresses, rotating light sources, and one dancer, Telegraph Valley makes momentary dwellings out of holes and passageways, attempting to deconstruct the body as a “house for the soul” metaphor to uncover something that roves, collides, undercuts, and transforms what we understand ourselves to be.

Experience Amanda Bradley’s From One Sea (2017-2025), where photography becomes a language that bridges the seen, felt, and spoken. Her photographic installation centers the sea as a site of memory, with the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean acting as wells of memory and places of possibility. As viewers follow the horizon, a poem reveals itself, creating a journey and guiding the viewer along.

Within each body of work, the artists deconstruct notions of ownership, division, and permanence, seeking a more expansive relationship to change, connection, and loss. The exhibition spans installation, photographic, poetic, and performative practices—building a world within the ebb and flow of disciplines and forms.

Exhibition continues through September 30, 2025

Visit during regular summer Library hours: Monday-Thursday 7:30 AM – 8:00 PM; Friday 7:30 AM – 6:00 PM; Saturday 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM; Sunday 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM.

Telegraph Valley is a National Performance Network (NPN) Creation & Development Fund Project co-commissioned by RedLine Contemporary Art Center in partnership with DVCAI. Supported by the Doris Duke Foundation, the Mellon Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Ashley Pezzotti Performs at Arts Garage July 19

Ashley Pezzotti brings a rare combination of vocal precision and emotional depth to the Arts Garage stage, delivering jazz with both reverence and daring originality. Her set moves seamlessly between reimagined standards and compelling originals, each song shaped by her impeccable phrasing and magnetic presence. It’s not just a concert – it’s a masterclass in vocal jazz from one of the genre’s most exciting young artists.

PERFORMER BIO:
Ashley Pezzotti is a rising star in the New York jazz scene, blending the elegance, rhythmic sophistication, and infectious joy of the great jazz vocalists who came before her. Just in her 20s, Pezzotti has already made her mark, touring and recording with jazz legends like Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra (JLCO), and icons such as Arturo Sandoval, Dee Dee Bridgewater, and piano prodigy Joey Alexander.

Born to Dominican roots, Ashley crafts original compositions in both English and Spanish, weaving a timeless blend of melodies that echo the classic jazz standards she so effortlessly interprets. Her silky smooth, rich voice and impressive artistry have also taken her to prestigious venues around the world, further solidifying her reputation as an international force in jazz.

Her unique vocal mastery has earned rave reviews, with JLCO trumpeter and arranger Marcus Printup calling her a “singer’s singer” who not only delivers classic standards and original work with ease but also effortlessly holds her own in the world of scat singing, rivaling the skills of any horn player. With a stage presence that captivates and a voice that commands attention, Ashley brings fresh, compelling interpretations to both timeless tunes and hidden gems.

“Pezzotti is exquisite, caressing and stretching the lyric in the manner of the masters.” —ALL ABOUT JAZZ

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMoj64q1zZI

“The narrative of life, love and promise conjure the sensibilities of a bygone era, something particularly impressive for a 23-year-old vocalist […] A sound band, promising voice, excellent song selection and writing mark Pezzotti as a performer to watch.” —DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE

It’s hard to imagine that the mid-1990’s was 30 years ago!

We had our first Baby Boomer president, and we could not stop “Thinking About Tomorrow”. If you were really cool you had a Blackberry, a first-generation Nintendo or PlayStation, and if you were really, really cool you had already upgraded from a Walkman to a Discman.

In the 1990’s Homosexuality was no longer considered an illness by the World Health Organization.

In 1991, the red ribbon became the international symbol of AIDS awareness. AIDS became the number one cause of death for U.S. men aged 25-44 years old in 1992. By 1994, AIDS became the leading cause of death for all Americans ages 25-44 years old.

On TV and movies, more LGBT characters were added that their sexual preference were not their defining character. In 1993, President Bill Clinton announced an end to a longtime ban on gay men and women serving in the U.S. military. The new policy was a compromise that pleased neither conservatives nor gay rights advocates. But it was a step on a long road to today’s military policy of inclusiveness and support of its LGBTQ+ members. In 1999, Clinton officially declared in a presidential proclamation, June “Gay and Lesbian Pride Month”.

When selecting our films for Pride Month, we chose films aimed to be insightful, nostalgist, educational and most important entertaining for the entire South Florida Community.

We would love for everyone to send comments to info@fliff.com that we can add to this page with their opinions and memories.

All films are FREE to FLIFF Members

Island City Stage presents The Dying Gaul by Craig Lucas 5/22/25 – 6/15/25

Cost: $43 – $55

A salacious love triangle, secrets and intrigue haunt the modern American tragedy The Dying Gaul by Craig Lucas making its South Florida premiere at Island City Stage on May 22. The show runs through June 15.

In The Dying Gaul, a grieving screenwriter compromises his ideals to make a small fortune that enables him to climb from invisible poverty into the rarefied seductions and surreal beauty of the Hollywood Hills. Hailed in 1998 as the best American play by The Wall Street Journal and USA Today, The Dying Gaul premiered off-Broadway at New York City’s Vineyard Theatre to rave reviews. Craig Lucas later adapted the play into a 2005 film (starring Peter Sarsgaard, Campbell Scott and Patricia Clarkson) marking his directorial debut. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival where it was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize and the National Board of Review awarded the film Special Recognition for Excellence in filmmaking.

The personal and professional life of acclaimed playwright, screenwriter and film director Craig Lucas is as engrossing as his plays. Abandoned as a child when he was eight months old and adopted by a conservative Pennsylvania couple, he repressed both his Jewish identity and sexual preference for years. It was only till he embraced his identity as a gay Jewish man that he was able to develop as an artist and as a person. A 1973 graduate of Boston University, earning a bachelor’s degree in creative writing and theater, his mentor Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, Anne Sexton, urged him to move to New York City to become a playwright. In 1979, his life-changing professional break took place when he collaborated with theater and film director Norman René. The two wrote several plays throughout the 1980s. They both achieved their biggest commercial and critical success in 1990 with Prelude to a Kiss, which earned a 1991 Pulitzer Prize nomination. The play was later made into a film starring Meg Ryan and Alec Baldwin. René died of complications from AIDS in 1996. Since 2001, Lucas has received numerous awards as a playwright, director and screen writer including a 2001 Obie Award and a 2003 New York Film Critics Award. In 2022, he was nominated for a Tony Award for the musical, Paradise Square.

Island City Stage’s production of The Dying Gaul is directed by Rogow and stars Amir Darvish (Jeffrey), Jorge Amador (Robert), Autumn Kioti Horne (Elaine), and Ted deChatelet (Foss).

The Dying Gaul is co-produced by Thel Boyette and David Page. Talent Sponsors are DC Allen & Ken Flick and the No Gay Hate Fund at The Our Fund Foundation. Lights and Sound Sponsor is Scott Bennett and Costume Sponsor is the Parrot Lounge. Additional funding is provided by the following: The Our Fund Foundation, The Schubert Foundation Inc., The SHS Foundation, The Maval Foundation, Warten Foundation and the Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward Cultural Council.

Tickets for The Dying Gaul are $43 (Thursday, Friday and Saturday matinee) and $48 (Saturday and Sunday performances). A Mimosa Sunday performance will take place on Sunday, June 1, with tickets at $55. The show runs for two hours and five minutes with one intermission.

Channeling her Caribbean heritage, LaVie is working on her EP “The Island Girl” and released her newest single “Queen” in July 2016. All of LaVie’s music is available wherever digital music is sold.

List of Films:

Disappearing Giants: What Happened to Florida’s Goliath Groupers? (Ocean First Institute, USA)
Goliath Grouper, once relatively abundant in U.S. waters in the 1890s to early 1900s, experienced extreme overfishing thereafter, approaching extinction by the1980s. Fishery closures were put into place that set this species on a trajectory to recovery for 20 years. However, despite these protections, populations seem to be on another decline. Our team, led by Dr. Chris Malinowski, is on a mission to investigate these declines in offshore waters of Florida.

Deep Look: A Coral is Born
When the moon, sun and ocean temperatures all align, an underwater “snowstorm” occurs. Corals put on a massive spawning spectacle by sending tiny white spheres floating up the water column all at once.

Wild Hope: Whale Shark Homecoming (Geoff Luck, USA)
Watch as a fishing community in Gujarat, India embraces a cultural shift and initiates local conservation efforts to protect whale sharks after years killing thousands of the world’s largest fish. The documentary highlights whale shark slaughter in 2001. An NGO, a local religious leader named Morari Bapur, and Indian law inspire locals to pivot and rally around local pride protecting and honoring whale sharks rather than killing them.

The Human Side of Plastic, Babacar Thiaw (Andrew Lynch, Ben Ayers, Rush Sturges, USA)
Rooted in his love for the ocean, Babacar Thiaw, founder of Senegal’s first zero-waste restaurant, turned his passion and dedication into action, creating a movement reaching beyond the coastline of his hometown in Dakar, Senegal. A picturesque, captivating short film filled with inspiration and hope for our planet.

Caleb – Beyond the Bite (Nicola Gerrard, South Africa)
Years after having lost his leg to a shark, Caleb confronts his disability, his vulnerability, and his fears, and explores his paradoxically deepening connection with the ocean– and with sharks. Now he must choose between a self-image as victim, or survivor. In swimming among them, he experiences a paradigm shift, recognizing his place in the world.

Souls (Ian Mun, Singapore)
Rarely do you get six world-renowned ocean legends in the same room and on the same panel but suggest a dive trip and they will be on that boat. Inspiring stories from award-winning underwater photographers on their first experience diving into the ocean, changes they have seen in their lifetime, and yet, they remain hopeful for future generations.

On Friday, May 16, Reserve Cares—the charitable arm of Reserve Padel—will host the inaugural Moonlight Open at Reserve Miami Seaplane. Held in honor of Charlie Moon, a cherished friend, colleague, and member of the Reserve family who is currently battling Leukemia, the event will raise funds to support leukemia patients at the University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. The Moonlight Open will unite the local community around sport, philanthropy, and celebration, with the ambitious goal of raising $750,000 to $1,000,000 in support of cancer research and treatment at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.

“Padel has truly saved my life—it’s given me strength, purpose, and community during the hardest battles of my life. As a four-time cancer survivor, and now facing it for a fifth time, every day is a gift. When I play, I don’t care about winning or losing—I’m just grateful to be on the court, alive. Events like the Moonlight Open are more than just charity fundraisers; they’re lifelines. They bring hope, awareness, and energy to people who need it most. Reserve Cares isn’t just a name—I’m living proof that they really do care. They believed in me every day, and now, I fight not just for me, but to help others live fuller, more beautiful lives despite cancer.”— Charlie Moon

“My parents, who both had their own battles with cancer, always taught me that success means nothing if you don’t use it to lift others—you do well, so you can do good. Cancer has touched my life personally, as it has for so many others. Charlie is a beloved member of our Reserve family, and we wanted to stand beside him as he faces this horrific disease. The Moonlight Open is our way of honoring him and supporting everyone in this fight against cancer.” — Wayne Boich, Founder of Reserve Padel

The day will start at 4:00pm and the pro-am tournament will start at 4:30pm with a $5,000 Entry Fee. At 8:00 PM, guests will enjoy a world-class exhibition match with the top players in the world featuring:

To celebrate AAPI Heritage Month, Wok Star Supper Club is teaming up with the acclaimed Ghee Indian Kitchen for a one-night-only dinner experience on Sunday, May 18 at 6PM in Wynwood.

Ghee has earned four Michelin Bib Gourmand distinctions for its bold, home-style Indian flavors and warm hospitality. At the helm is Chef Niven Patel, a James Beard Award nominee and four-time semifinalist for Best Chef: South, alongside his partner Mohamed Alkassar, a James Beard semifinalist for Outstanding Restaurateur and co-founder of Feal Hospitality.

Together, they’ve crafted an inviting experience where design, flavor, and cultural storytelling intersect—right down to the inlaid tables and custom furniture and furnishings flown in from India.

For this Wok Star Supper Club, we’ll start with a Complimentary welcome sparkling rosé by Dona Rosalba. Then onto the 3-course, 13 dish Indian-inspired Prix Fixe Feast which will be served family-style to encourage connection and conversation—like we do in many Asian cultures.

Cost: Free

Join MOAD for an open studio featuring Miami-based artist Lucia Morales on Tuesday, July 1. Throughout the summer term, Morales will create new work and engage with students, campus groups, and members of the public during her artist residency at MDC’s Kendall Campus Art Gallery.

Lucia Morales is a Peruvian artist who lives and works in Miami. Born in Lima, Morales moved to United States with her family at a young age. Influenced deeply by her cultural heritage, she seeks to reconnect to Ayacucho­, a city nestled in the Andean Mountains, where her family is from.

As a multidisciplinary artist and educator, Morales examines themes of place and investigates how migration and immigration reshape notions of identity through painting, textiles, video performance, and installation. Informed by her family and Andean culture and history, Morales practices Peruvian folkloric dance weekly, which for her serves as a form of resistance, aiming to maintain her roots and traditions alive within her community.

Morales holds a Master of Fine Art, MA in Art Education and a BA in Landscape Architecture from Florida international University. She has worked and collaborated as an art educator with Miami-Dade and Broward public schools and with institutions such as The Wolfsonian and the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami.

MOAD is proud to offer artists resources, support, and space to create in Miami. This artist residency will also invite the public to step into the studio and observe and interact with the artist at work, promoting conversations about process, multidisciplinary artmaking, and the role of the artist within learning institutions.

MOAD’s programs are made possible with the support of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor, and Board of County Commissioners. They are sponsored in part by the State of Florida through the Division of Arts and Culture, and with generous support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. The Miami Herald is a media sponsor of MOAD’s programming.

Cost: Free

Join us for the Opening Reception of our six-week exhibition, “This Summer Too: Conversations with Makers, Exploring Memory, Materials, and Meaning.”

This summer, during our exhibition, Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator curators Rosie Gordon-Wallace and Lauryn Lawrence turn our attention to artists who bridge the artificial boundaries between art, craft, design, and artisanship.

These are makers—creators who work from a place of ancestral knowledge, driven by the need to fill an inner void and propelled by the desire for self-expression.

During regular library hours, visit the exhibition to view works by artists Lauren Austin, Barbara Garvine, Alida Martinez, Yossi Peled, Evelyn Politzer, and Miki Speijers, and Barry University MFA Candidates, Robertha Blatt and Joy Johnson.

These artists’ practices are often sparked by specific provocations, with memory as a recurring catalyst. This Summer Too invites students visiting DVCAI at Barry to participate in these conversations—designed to tickle the imagination and ignite curiosity.

We hope these encounters spark new ways of seeing and prompt students to think differently about art, materials, and objects in their own homes. May this conversation about makers open doors to broader dialogues about what art is, who gets to make it, and where it lives.

Beyond the Archive: The Cabrera-Tarafa Collection of Afro-Cuban Music 5/15/25

Beyond the Archive: The Cabrera-Tarafa Collection of Afro-Cuban Music

Roberto C. Goizueta Pavilion
1300 Memorial Dr,
Coral Gables, Florida, 33146
Website
Cost: free

Join us for the keynote presentation, “Beyond the Archive: The Cabrera-Tarafa Collection of Afro-Cuban Music, circa 1956” by Dr. J. Lorand Matory with comments from Dr. David Font-Navarrete.

In the mid-1950s, Lydia Cabrera and Josefina Tarafa recorded hours of Afro-Cuban ritual music in Matanzas and Havana, Cuba. The result was “Música de los cultos africanos en Cuba” (Music of the African Cults in Cuba), a boxed set of phonograph LPs printed in Cuba and distributed privately in a single limited edition circa 1956. The collection consists of 14 LP discs containing over 11 hours of audio recordings, along with liner notes and photos. Given its scope and quality, “Música de los cultos” is arguably the single most robust multimedia archive of Afro-Cuban sacred music traditions in the mid-20th century.

It remains unclear in which year the recordings were made, when the discs were pressed, and how many copies of the boxed set were produced, and only a few institutions hold complete physical editions of the original LP boxed set in their repositories. The audio recordings—the only ones Cabrera produced in her long career—are saturated by the musical and linguistic virtuosity of priest-artists for which Cabrera became an archival medium, and the sounds themselves are arguably the pinnacle of her life-long efforts to produce “material for specialists which has not passed through the dangerous filter of interpretation” (2023).

The compilation of a new digital edition of “Música de los cultos” is available for the first time as a complete and annotated archival collection at the University Libraries’ Cuban Heritage Collection, which is the official repository of the Lydia Cabrera Papers.

The program will conclude with a question and answer session with the audience.

This keynote presentation is part of a symposium that explores vital 21st-century insights on a unique document of Afro-Cuban sacred music traditions and offers novel perspectives on the Cabrera Papers’ multifaceted scope and significance. On May 14, a private collaborative research workshop will bring together scholars, priests, and artists for a critical dialogue.

This event is co-sponsored by the University of Miami’s Michele Bowman Underwood Department of Modern Languages and Literatures and the Joseph Carter Memorial Fund.

Hollywood, Florida, 33019

Cost: Free

Le Tub, the iconic waterfront dive bar known for its world-famous burgers
and laid-back charm, is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a weekend-long bash from May 31
– June 1, 2025. For half a century, Le Tub has been a must-visit destination for locals and
travelers alike, offering delicious food, cold drinks, and an unbeatable atmosphere along the
Intracoastal Waterway.
To mark this milestone, Le Tub is pulling out all the stops with a 2-day celebration featuring live
bands, food and drink specials, souvenir T-shirts, exclusive gifts, prizes, and more. Guests
can enjoy the same relaxed, no-frills ambiance that has made Le Tub a beloved institution, while
indulging in the burger that put it on the map.
At 50 years young, Le Tub has just completed a major restoration — including a brand-new dock
and seawall built to withstand higher tides. The waterfront seating is now shaded by tiki huts,
and the patio areas feature transparent roofs so guests can enjoy the view rain or shine. The
restaurant’s beloved Old Florida vibe is alive and well, with more than 2,000 quirky, colorful
items — collected over decades from the beach by guests, lifeguards, and founder Russel T.
Kohuth on his daily jogs — lovingly cleaned, restored, and reinstalled. The original clawfoot
tubs remain, freshly repainted with the playful sayings everyone loves. Longtime regulars will
feel right at home, while first-timers will be delighted by this joyful, one-of-a-kind collection of
beachside nostalgia.
Le Tub’s legendary burger was named “The Best Burger in America” by GQ Magazine in
2006, a recognition that catapulted the restaurant to national fame. Even media powerhouse
Gayle King, anchor of CBS Mornings, raved about the burger to none other than Oprah
Winfrey, who herself praised it, further cementing Le Tub’s status as a must-try culinary
experience.
As part of the anniversary festivities, a portion of the weekend’s proceeds will be donated to
local charities, including the Hollywood Historical Society, to honor the community that has
supported Le Tub over the decades.
Join us for a weekend of celebration, nostalgia, and great food as we toast to 50 years of Le
Tub—where history, flavor, and good times come together!
