Meta Miami and Woland Foundation
cordially invite you to
GENERATION SI
AT THE "JARDIN DE MILAGROS"
Opening Reception
Friday, December 6th, 2019
7 to 10:00pm
Generation “Si” is not a title,
It is a movement.
A movement that is inclusive of all generations, our creativity, our thoughts, and opinions. The WoLand Foundation offers a safe platform where art, nature, design, and free expression can come together as tools for change. Landscape architects, visual artists, musicians, and digital artists have the heart and capability to see beyond politics, capitalism, fame, and fortune, and create something bigger for the greater good of humanity and the world.
Generation “Sí” will become alive in the form of a 1,900‐square foot garden located at the heart of Wynwood the "Jardin de Milagros". In their inaugural collaboration debut, META Miami and The WoLand Foundation have joined forces and worked relentlessly to design and build this unique outdoor art experience for the public that will take place concurrently with the Art Basel fairs in Miami Beach from December 6 to December 8. The garden exhibits the benefits and positive impacts of collaboration between industries, women empowerment, equality, and the determination to survive and thrive as a species while respecting the natural environment.
Within this garden experience, there will be a short video telling the story of a woman who experiences a toxic love relationship and has the courage to survive and escape her abusive situation. Just as she has a toxic relationship with a man; we – the citizens of the world ‐ have a toxic relationship with single‐use
plastics. If women can overcome the agonizing toxicity of a relationship and break free, why can’t we do the same with plastics?
Sprinkled throughout the garden, there are interactive opportunities to learn more about global subjects, view outdoor art, and listen to unique live local music, all in an atmosphere filled with enthusiasm and joy.
For decades, our city has been grappling with global issues, gender equality, the environment, and the negative impact we, as consumers, have on the planet. As a community, we have depended on our leaders to act and create change for a better, more sustainable cities, but despite all the talk and discussion, it
feels as though there is not enough positive action to alleviate these issues. So, we must come together to be part of the change: we can change the way we live, the way we work, the way we view things that are ultimately destroying our lives.
We hope whoever visits this garden will have a new perspective on life and can feel included in this new movement where we say:
“Yes, we can. Yes, we are. Yes, we will"
We are Generation “Sí”.
