Join Women Artists Archives + Media (WAAM) for a cafecito and private viewing of Artists Run Miami, an exhibition tracing the history of Miami’s artist-run and alternative exhibition spaces, on view at desur, a new non-profit, artist-run platform for experimental practices in Downtown Miami.

As archivist-in-residence, WAAM will present a selection of archival materials documenting the contributions of Barbara Young to Miami’s art history. A longtime art librarian and curator with the Miami-Dade Public Library System, Young launched the library’s Artmobile, a traveling gallery on wheels, and later co-founded The Vasari Project, an archive preserving more than 6,000 items related to Miami’s visual arts history.
