2024 NEA Big Read Miami Kickoff: Miami Book Fair Office Hours at Open House Miami
Big Red Miami
Experience
Miami Dade College’s Cultural Affairs like never before. Start your evening
with a short film presented by the Miami Film Festival before stepping into
Miami Book Fair’s “Office Hours,” where you’ll be able to request a poem on
demand, contribute to a group poem project yourself, and more. Continue your
evening with a tour of the historic landmark Koubek Mansion, presented by the
Museum of Art and Design (MOAD) and led by Miami historian Casey Piket. Then
get ready to party! The Koubek Center will present an Afro-Cuban dance class
which you’re invited to observe, but for the extroverts, Live Arts Miami will
be hosting a rumba class, and you’ll have the opportunity to get in on the
action.

Open House Miami unlocks the stories, design, architecture,
and experiences that define our vibrant city – all free and open to the public!
“Miami Book Fair Office Hours” showcases a sample of the resources and
programs we have to offer. Attendees can ask an oracle for astrological book
recommendations, request a personalized typewritten poem on demand, add a line
to an interactive “exquisite corpse” poem, take a selfie with a beloved
children’s book character, and receive a free copy of this year’s featured NEA
Big Read Miami title, the novel CIRCE by MADELINE MILLER,
an epic adaptation of the ancient Greek enchantress who crosses paths with
Zeuss, Odysseus, the Minotaur, and more. |
