Germane Barnes embodies the 'joyful spirit' of persistence in Miami’s Black communities as the 2022 Annual Neighborhood Commission winner
The Miami Design District, a neighborhood teeming with creativity and community, has announced architect, designer, educator, and cultural provocateur Germane Barnes as the 2022 Miami Design District Annual Neighborhood Commission winner. The site-specific installation titled Rock|Roll will be featured throughout the neighborhood during November for Miami Art Week. According to Barnes, the motivation behind his design stems from the neighborhood's Black communities. "Rock | Roll is an ode to the joyful spirit that persists in Miami's Black communities—a spirit of self-care that is so perfectly embodied in Miami Carnival culture. This city would not be what it is today without significant contributions from people who, on the one hand, look like me and on the other reflect deep ties to places beyond Miami, especially the Caribbean and Latin America."
