Más allá de Vizcaya es un proyecto narrativo que conecta pasado y presente a través de los relatos personales de expertos y aficionados. 

Vizcaya partners with our neighbors and communities to tell stories of cultural identity that are central to our common experience in South Florida.

William Edgecombe Jr. is the grandson of Eustace Egdecombe, Vizcaya’s beloved caretaker and houseman of 52 years. When asked what he knew of Eustace’s role at the estate, William truthfully answered that he was unaware of his grandfather’s contributions.

This broadcast highlighted the presence and contributions of local Indigenous community members participating in the festival. In conversation with Franco Marin and Cecilia Ortega of Tonalxochitl, viewers saw a closer look at the cultural programming taking place throughout the day.

Our program host, Oldine Monestime sits with Joanne Perodin, of the Optima Network and community members of the Sant La Haitian Neighborhood Center. In this exploratory discussion, we hear about the unique challenges and far reaching effects of climate change from those who live with them daily.

In this Beyond Vizcaya story, photogrammetry expert Nick Christodoulidis describes his process for capturing 3D data of objects and structures. Christodoulidis has performed photogrammetry on historic objects all over the world.
