Fringe Projects is proud to present PUBLIC COLOR, an outdoor exhibition of eight newly commissioned public art projects by seven contemporary artists of Caribbean descent including April Bey, Morel Doucet, Mark Fleuridor, GeoVanna Gonzalez, Charo Oquet, Johanne Rahaman, and Kathia St. Hilaire. 

Using Miami as the context, they have created site-specific artworks that explore themes and experiences that inform collective urban life as viewed through their diasporic lenses. Working in a wide variety of media, the exhibition addresses topics ranging from cultural mythologies, personal narratives, and historical realities. Taking place throughout downtown Miami and the Miami Design District, PUBLIC COLOR illustrates the importance of making diverse voices present in public art.

PUBLIC COLOR is organized by María Elena Ortiz in partnership with Deborah Di Capua of Fringe Projects. The exhibition is made possible with the support from John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, Downtown Development Authority Miami, Caribbean Cultural Institute at the Pérez Art Museum Miami, Miami Design District, and The Ellies, Miami’s visual arts awards, presented by Oolite Arts.
