A Spell To Grow A Garden – Zine Release with Arsimmer McCoy & MAVEN Leadership Collective
Join us for the release of A Spell to Grow a Garden, a collaborative zine by poet and cultural worker Arsimmer McCoy and the MAVEN Leadership Collective, powered by EXILE Projects.
Set in the historic home of Dr. Enid Pinkney—a trailblazer in the preservation of Black heritage spaces in Miami—this evening is a call to reflection, remembrance, and radical care. The project reimagines the cultivation and protection of Black communities and their allies as the tending of a garden. The “spell” is the intentional care, resistance, and legacy that sustains us.
Featuring performances by:
– Mikah Amani (musician & poet)
– Surayyah Muhammad (poet)
– Iman Clark (dancer)
– Gary Allen (Poet & Vice Chair of The Curtis Foundation)
This gathering is not just a celebration of new work—it is a rooted offering in a place where memory and possibility meet. Special thanks to The Green Haven Project Inc. for their support and sponsorship. Light refreshments will be served.
