Two Islands is an evocative
documentary film project that employs the art of cinematic storytelling
to illuminate an extraordinary international cultural exchange between
Afro-Cuban artists from Miami and First Nations Aboriginal artists from
Australia. This collaboration delves into the rich tapestry of rituals
and ceremonies intrinsic to these two vibrant cultures. The constant
transference of ideas, values and traditions that takes place when two
distinct cultures come in contact helps to ensure tolerance, acceptance,
and the continuous growth of our already diverse community.
This inspiring film was produced by Miami Dade College’s Koubek
Center and was made possible thanks to the support of Miami Dade
College, the National Endowment of the Arts and the Miami-Dade County
Department of Cultural Affairs. LINK

quote of the day
Like the crooked man who lived in a crooked house, it was the characterful, not to say skew-whiff, nature of the house that first drew him there: ‘It works quite well with the higgledy-piggledy of my collecting.’
