Jun 14, 2025
From: 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Explore the layered history and evolving ecology of the Miami River on a boat tour guided by artist Lee Pivnik. This event offers participants a chance to engage directly with the river's transformation, from its ancient roots to its current state shaped by industrial development and water management practices.
The Weird Miami Boat Tour with Lee Pivnik is scheduled for Saturday, June 14, departing from Crandon Park Marina. This tour is part of the Weird Miami series presented by Bas Fisher Invitational (BFI), an organization known for its artist-led explorations of Miami's unique cultural and environmental landscapes.
Lee Pivnik, a Miami-based artist and co-director of the Institute of Queer Ecology, brings a perspective informed by his work in sculpture, video and social practice. His projects often focus on ecological interconnectivity and envisioning futures rooted in mutualistic relationships.
During the tour, Pivnik will share insights into the river's past and discuss how its course and surrounding environments have been altered over time. The conversation will also touch on broader themes of environmental care and the potential for more sustainable interactions with natural waterways.
Attendees are encouraged to wear comfortable attire suitable for an evening on the water. As space is limited, advance registration is recommended.
