With Beyond Vizcaya, we’ll embark on a journey through time, a journey where storytellers from across Miami will explore the tales of the everyday people and historic events that made the city the international icon it is today. While these storytellers guide us through a forgotten past, you’ll be able to ask them questions and share your own life experiences.

Together we’ll venture towards an understanding of our own place in history, and begin a conversation about the kind of future we want to create for ourselves. Follow along, submit your stories and join us on a journey of curiosity, community and resilience, a journey beyond Vizcaya.
