Join The Betsy and Arts at St. Johns for a new Breakfast Salon Series that explores the many types of places and spaces people call ‘home’, focusing on the multiplicities inherent in the word. Anthropologist Dr. Carol Hoffman Guzman, creator of last year’s successful La Convivencia Series, is our first speaker.

Places We Call Home Series for 2016

The Arts at St. Johns and The Betsy Hotel are co-sponsoring a new series of talks entitled: “Places We Call home.” These talks are inspired by the multiplicity of homes of our South Florida residents. According to a recent census report, ~70% of Miami’s population comes from other cities, states, regions or countries. I too, like many Miami residents, was not born here, and I have numerous places I could call home – or, conversely, no place to call home. We discovered, during last season’s Convivencia Miami talks, that our audiences often wanted to talk about their roots, identity, and places of origin. In our “Places to Call Home,” we are therefore encouraging attendees to share information about their “homes.”

Event is free and open to the community, but RSVP required. RSVP NOW or call 305-760-6902 for more information.
