We will be streaming from a sleepover soundcamp in a 65-acre urban park that is one of the few remaining patches of pine rockland forest ecology in Miami-Dade county. It is a popular spot for migrating birds. This is an all ages event on the ancestral homelands of Tequesta, Miccosukee, and Seminole people.
For the Artist as Archivist Residency, artist and educator Fereshteh Toosi presents an overnight soundcamp to celebrate the 10th anniversary of REVEIL, the full flower moon, and International Dawn Chorus Day from 5-6 May.
What is it?
What is it?
Every 24 hours at dawn, birds and other beings create a wave of sound at a time when humans are relatively quiet. Together we’ll listen and broadcast the sounds of Miami to the world.
We’ll have a vegetarian dinner and gather around a campfire before sleeping in dorm-style cabins on Friday night.
We’ll set our alarms to wake up early on Saturday morning in order to greet the birds and broadcast the sounds of our location. Then we’ll have breakfast while listening to live streams from a network of other soundcamps all around the earth.
We will be at the northwest corner of a 65-acre urban park that is one of the few remaining patches of pine rockland forest ecology in Miami-Dade county. It is a popular spot for migrating birds.
This is an all ages event on the ancestral homelands of Tequesta, Miccosukee, and Seminole people.
No drinks, no drugs, no jerks.
