Tiffany Dubin, a specialist in artist jewelry, explores the transformative era of jewelry design post-World War II. Dubin will guide the audience through the evolution of the artist jewelry movement, highlighting how it challenged and expanded the conventional boundaries of how jewelry is both perceived and worn. This movement not only changed the craft, but also altered our very interaction with jewelry, transforming it from a mere symbol of status into a profound medium for unique artistic statements.

South Florida native Victoria Cardona is a guitarist, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist one-woman jam band. Her loop performances are a sonic and visual experience that takes the audience on a ride through the mind of an improvisationalist. Victoria’s Cuban roots and obsession with multicultural music genres inspire the strong Afro-Cuban rhythmic undertone she delivers, in conjunction with a harmonic counterpart that fuses elements of jazz, blues, soul, reggae, Afro-Caribbean, rock ’n’ roll, and folk.

Poet Against Prejudice – When 17-year-old Faiza Almontaser, a Yemeni-American Muslim teen in Brooklyn, experiences bullying and xenophobia, she turns to poetry as an act of resistance and healing. Her film, which she directed and narrated with mentoring from the legendary Albert Maysles, is a powerful reflection on identity, Islamophobia and finding one’s voice amidst adversity.
