In honor of PRIDE Month, History Fort Lauderdale and Galleria Fort Lauderdale will present
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.”

Eventbrite
Cost: Free

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.

History Fort Lauderdale
231 SW 2nd Avenue,
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, 33301
Website
Cost: Admission is $15 for adults; $12 for seniors and $7 for students

History Fort Lauderdale, in celebration of National Historic Preservation Month, will present “Lauderdale Living: The Architecture of Possibilities” from Thursday, May 1 – Sunday, June 29. The exhibition will showcase rarely seen historical photographs from the museum’s collection alongside contemporary works by artists Christina Lihan and Abby Laughlin. A free public opening reception with the artists will take place on Thursday, May 1, from 6 – 8 p.m., at the New River Inn Museum of History building on History Fort Lauderdale’s campus (231 Southwest Second Avenue).

Florida-based artist Christina Lihan transforms delicate paper into intricate sculptural landscapes, hand-cutting, folding, scoring and carving architectural forms that play with light and shadow. With a background in architecture from the University of Virginia and Columbia University, her work reflects a deep understanding of composition, technique, and design. Her meditative, labor-intensive process creates immersive environments that evoke a sense of place, often raising subtle questions of environmental justice. Her pieces have been exhibited internationally, from Shanghai to Tel Aviv, and she was recently commissioned to create eight large-scale sculptures for a new hotel in central London.

Fort Lauderdale artist and activist Abby Laughlin documents the beauty and history of mid-century modern architecture through photography and curated exhibitions. A former real estate professional with expertise in adaptive rehab, she brings a passionate, hands-on perspective to the importance of historic properties in shaping community identity. Laughlin serves on the boards of the Fort Lauderdale History Center and Docomomo US Florida, and is currently developing three major projects, including a fine arts book and a photography exhibit on mid-century landmarks. Her work captures both the nostalgia and urgency of preserving South Florida’s architectural heritage.

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,” “Viva Fort Lauderdale: Celebrating Hispanic Art & Culture,” and “Take PRIDE, a retrospective on LGBTQ life in South Florida.”

History Fort Lauderdale’s “Lauderdale Living: The Architecture of Possibilities” is sponsored by the following funds at the Community Foundation of Broward: Jan and Ed Crocker Unrestricted Fund, Leo M. and Alice J. Rutten Fund and The Frederick A. DeLuca Foundation Broward Community Fund. Additional funding is provided, in part, by Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward County Cultural Council and Visit Lauderdale.

Beginning May 1, History Fort Lauderdale will be open five days a week from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. with docent guided tours, daily, at 1, 2 and 3 p.m. (closed Tuesday and Wednesday). Group walking tours are available upon special request. Admission is $15 for adults; $12 for seniors and $7 for students (through age 22 with a valid student ID).
