Faena Festival: This Is Not America features commissions, installations, videos and performances from a range of incredible artists. The theme of the inaugural Faena Festival, This Is Not America, is keyed to Miami’s enduring role as a port that welcomes migrants, refugees and tourists across the U.S. and the Americas, and from countries around the world. The festival engages with the multiplicity of communities and cultures and the palimpsest of histories that have created the Americas while responding specifically to Miami as its hemispheric hub.
