11may01junZen and the Art of Poetry by WomenErin MelendezThe Betsy-South BeachEvent Type:Social

Event Details

The Betsy and FIU Miami Beach Urban Studios, working in partnership with the poetry reading series and online literary journal, SWWIM (Supporting Women Writers in Miami), are pleased to present a new online series of salons featuring women and women identifying poets.

Starting at 7PM Monday, April 27, 2020, you’re invited to “Zen and the Art of Poetry by Women,” curated by three major Miami literary voices: Jen Karetnick, Catherine Esposito Prescott, and Caridad Moro-Gronlier. The events will be accessible through ZOOM and streamed on Facebook LIVE.

The arts have meant everything to The Betsy-South Beach (thebetsyhotel.com) since it re-opened in 2009 and to the FIU College of Communication, Architecture The Arts | Miami Beach Urban Studios [MBUS] (carta.fiu.edu/mbus), which opened its doors in 2011. Over the past decade, The Betsy and MBUS have collaboratively hosted multitudes of artists in their galleries and performance spaces. Last month, together, they launched the “Zen (and the art of … )” Salon series to take their collaborative commitment to cultural community-building online at a time when Coronavirus realities prevent audiences from gathering in person.

The Hotel’s reputation as a “place for poetry” is celebrated by 1) by The Betsy Poetry Rail, a piece of public art that features the work of 12 writers that shaped Miami Culture, 2) the Hotel’s artist in residence program that has hosted over 1000 writers, and 3) its tagline, Expect no more. This is happiness., written by poet Hyam Plutzik (1911-62), a three-time finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, the father of owner Jonathan Plutzik and grandfather of Managing Director, Zachary Hyam Plutzik – whose desk graces The Betsy Writers Room and broadsides of his poetry hang on the wall.

“Zen and the Art of Poetry by Women” debuts on April 27, 2020 @ 7 PM and will continue for four consecutive Mondays. Participating women poets selected by invitation will each appear in 1) an online reading and conversation and one of their poems will be 2) digitally published on SWWIM Every Day. “We are delighted to be able to share the work of poets living all over the world, and that’s one of the exciting benefits of bringing SWWIM programming online!”, noted curators, Karetnick, Prescott, and Moro.

Presenting poets and dates of appearances: 4/27/20—Naoko Fujimoto Freesia McKee (5/4/20—Mia Leonin Alexandra Lytton Regalado; 5/11/20—Cynthia Atkins Sonia Greenfield (confirmed); 5/18/20—Juliana Gray Caroline Cabrera.

Event Details

On May 28th 2020 we are officially launching the Rebel Dykes History Project CiC.

We’re holding an online event where the project partners will be introducing themselves, and we will tell you our plans for the exhibition and how you can get involved with the archive including sharing any archive items you may have and volunteering on our project. Rebel Dykes History Project has received a National Lottery Heritage Fund grant of £45,900 for Rebel Dykes History Project – Sharing Archive through Digital resource and Exhibition.

The event will run from 5pm to 6pm BST.

As part of our launch event we are holding a very special Rebel Dykes Film Club Event. Preaching to the Perverted is a 1997 British sex comedy drama film. Many of the women originally involved in the Rebel Dykes scene got involved in the film as extras or characters.

On May 28th, after the launch we are showing the film at our film club, with Special Guest, Stuart Urban, the director and writer. We are inviting other special guests along too, so keep your eye on our social media! This event will run from 7pm – 10pm (ish) BST.

REBEL DYKES HISTORY PROJECT CiC focuses on the heritage of a group of young lesbians who lived in London in the 1980s. This loose grouping was made up of young punk women on the edge of society.

The young women were involved in political movements of the period 1983 – 1991, including Greenham Common, South London Women’s Hospital Occupation, anti-censorship, sex-positive feminism, sex workers rights, anti Section 28, ACT-UP and the Poll Tax Riots. As a movement they were heavily involved in art and culture, creating bands, art, club nights, zines and festivals.

“Life in the 1980s? Well… it was exciting, it was scary, it was fun, it was poor, it was a great time and a terrible time to be young and queer in London.” Debbie Smith

In 2014, the concept of the British LGBT Awards was born, with the aim of shining a spotlight on our role models and those organisations who are working tirelessly to better the needs of LGBT+ people. The first official British LGBT Awards event launched in 2015.

Having worked within the LGBT+ community in media and events for over 20 years, I have seen a lot of change. Therefore, I am extremely proud of founding the awards and what it has achieved. Over the years I have observed various initiatives and awards ceremonies that have not had the best interests of the communities they serve at their core. It is important to me, and the British LGBT Awards team as a whole, that our brand has integrity and credibility, a water tight judging process, and keeps a firm focus on our primary goal: to help improve equality and the lives of LGBT+ people. We continue to strive to use the awards as a vehicle to help achieve that goal.

Through campaigning and building awareness, we have launched initiatives such as LBTQWomen, which has achieved a global presence, and we are more recently focusing our attention on the next generation through the LGBT>25 survey.

The awards have since recognised famous faces such as Stephen Fry, Caitlyn Jenner, Tom Daley, Cynthia Nixon and Courtney Act. Allies are more important than ever in helping create change; HRH Prince William, Kylie, Daniel Radcliff and Ellie Goulding are among those recognised by the British LGBT Awards for their support.

It is essential to highlight those working tirelessly for change, including community groups and those who have contributed to changing equality. This also applies to corporate organisations, which we feel play an important part in investing in this agenda.
