Immersive Exhibit Combines Art and Advocacy to Spark Global Action on Climate Change
The CLEO Institute, in collaboration with VoLo Foundation and ZUBI, made a bold debut at Miami Art Week with Our Present, Icarus’ Future. The performance, which took place in Miami Beach and drew over 250 attendees from around the globe, offered a powerful reminder of the generational impact of today’s environmental decisions.
The thought-provoking six-part performance began in silence, broken only by the sound of a baby’s heartbeat. As the stage lights rose, a mother entered, placing her newborn, Icarus, in a glowing bassinet. The exhibit projected how Icarus might look at key milestones in his life – at ages 10, 25, and 60 – juxtaposed with the escalating climate challenges he could face, from extreme weather and displacement to food and water insecurity.
