Location

Deering Estate Visitor Center, 16701 SW 72nd Avenue, Palmetto Bay Fl 33157

Deering Estate Artist-in-Residence and Emmy-award winning filmmaker Marlon Johnson presents the second season of The Retrofit, an interdisciplinary series inside the Deering Estate theatre. The Retrofit is a five-part multimedia film and live performance series at the intersection of the arts, natural environment, and social justice. The Retrofit is a campaign to reimagine spaces and expressions while celebrating a shared foundation. It is where we set out to reframe a better version of ourselves. Hosted by Miami-Native Carla Hill, and curated by local filmmaker Marlon Johnson, this series champions the transformative power of the arts through storytelling and invites its audience along for the ride.

Marlon Johnson is the Charles Deering McCormick Fellow of the Deering Estate’s artist-in-residence program. The fellowship is sponsored in part by the Deering Estate Foundation and the Charles Deering McCormick Friends of Art Fund.

The Retrofit program on Sunday, April 7th will include the screening of ADAPTATION, a PBS digital series that presents a collection of real-life examples that showcase how people adjust, persevere, and thrive under even the most difficult of conditions. From Bangladesh to Vanuatu to the United States, scientist and National Geographic Explorer Alizé Carrère speaks with people who are finding new ways to live in the midst of a global climate crisis. At the heart of each of their stories is a mindset that we can all learn from: when we work with nature — not against it — transformational solutions can emerge. Instead of asking what we are losing in the process of adapting, ADAPTATION instead asks, what are we regaining?

Cost: $20 per person (members and non-members). Recommended for ages 18+.

LOCATION: Deering Estate Visitor’s Center Theater. Please park in the Visitor Center parking lot located on the south side of SW 168 Street, east of Old Cutler Road & west of SW 72nd Avenue.
