Jazz to Junkanoo is a program that explores the enduring relationship between The Bahamas and Miami through music, migration, cultural memory, and community. On November 13 we will have a day of panel discussions and workshops at the FIU MMC campus. On November 14 the Public Humanities Lab is organizing a pop-up exhibition and culture fair at the Davis African Heritage Cultural Arts Center (DAHCAC), 6161 NW 22nd Ave, Miami, FL 33142.
