The South-Florida based arts and conservation group Love The Everglades Movement (LTEM) is celebrating a milestone and once again presenting a series of talks, lectures, workshops, and other creative shenanigans in collaboration with the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida.
Indigenous voices, scientists, artists, policymakers, and other community members will converge at the Miccosukee Casino & Resort, 500 SW 177 Ave., on Oct. 4, and the event will not only focus on environmental issues facing the River of Grass, but also include a film festival and dance party, integrating a holistic, multidisciplinary approach.
The Miccosukee Arts & Science Symposium (MASS) is a collaborative event between the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida, and the Love The Everglades Movement, bringing the community together for a 24-hour event that articulates eco concerns using three ways of understanding the world: Science, Art, and Community.
The Miccosukee Tribe will be organizing the Science tracks, and LTEM has created a committee of advisors to organize the Art and Community tracks. This year, the 24-hours for the Glades portion of MASS includes presentations and panel discussions, two Direct Action training workshops, poster sessions with researchers, community organizations with booths, field trips and forest bathing, a film festival, dance party, and late night sessions for shift workers.
Spanish language interpretation services to be provided by MARB Language Services.
Love The Everglades Movement is a multi-disciplinary, volunteer, nonprofit organization comprised of artists, activists, teachers, clergy, businesses, and media members. In addition to hosting events, LTEM organize Everglades art projects, cleanups, concerts, fundraisers, workshops, prayer walks, and excursions.
