Miami Alternativo-Podcast Limited Series-Bilingual-Spanish & English. Alafia Creative Entertainment in collab with Artistnator












by Eva Silot Bravo 



Miami Alternativo is a limited podcast series created by Dr. Eva Silot Bravo, founder of Alafia Creative Entertainment, in collaboration with Artistnator.


The series is based on Dr. Silot Bravo's doctoral research on alternative and transnational art scenes in Miami and other world cities, including Havana, published as a doctoral dissertation by the University of Miami since August 2016. 


Miami Alternativo proposes 5 interviews to remarkable local and transnational talents Consuelo Castaneda, Sandra Ramos, Niurka Marquez, DJ Spam All Starts-Andrew Yeomanson, and Leslie Cartaya. 





These artists represent a sample of the amazing number of international outstanding talents who call Miami home and have been enriching the local art scenes in the visual arts, dance and movement, cultural promotion, non-profit, dance, live arts, music production, and performance.




These artists have developed oustanding professional and personal careers beyond mainstream markets, locally and transnationally. 






They are truly inspirational, by the level of mastering they have achieved in their artistic lives, and by being on the move, constantly updating their creative paths with the contexts and time they have been living in.

ABRE CAMINO QUE VOY: TO OPEN THE PATH

The divine Janus-Eleggua-The Joker is sleeping in the lobby of the theater before and after the Dance Program Final Presentation at the Errol Barrow Center for Creative Imagination, University of the West Indies in Barbados. His costume is red and black and full of symbols that represent communication, secret codes, and the duality of everything: to be awake or sleeping, Yin/Yang, day and night, good and bad, beginnings and endings, among other things. Thanks to the music of drums and chanting in Yoruba language he responds to the calls. The music awakens him. Moving up from the floor, he starts to dance. Giving candies to the audience, he starts to jump, moving rapidly like a child that is happy to be alive. He invites people to follow him. Drummers and the audience are moved to follow his steps in order to see the exhibition on display in the gallery space. Once in the gallery he is makes fun of things; he appropriates objects, cloths, pictures, etc. He models for the camera as a way to pull the attention of new generations towards the arts.
The performance was presented with the support of the Dance Program’s director Neri Torres.
