Fountainhead Arts is partnering with The Underline, a 10-mile linear park, urban trail and public art destination, on a one-day public art activation, At the Mouth of the Miami River, with local artist Christina Pettersson, presented during The Underline's Family Day.

Made possible by the Cornelia T. Bailey Foundation, local artist Christina Pettersson presents At the Mouth of the Miami River, a historical South Florida adaptation of a tableau vivant performance and plein air drawing session. The activation brings to life local historic characters and flora and fauna. As visitors walk The Underline, they will encounter performers site-specifically situated to conjure historical references - such as the true Mother of Miami, Mary Brickell, facing her avenue; the villain Flagler standing where his train once ran; a Bahamian pioneer upon excavated limestone; or an ancient coontie plant offering bread from its own arrowroot.

As visitors traverse the trail and encounter the performers, they will be invited to sit at easels and draw the actors, who will simultaneously engage those drawing in discussions related to the history of the characters they represent. This festive, progressive performance and outdoor drawing workshop will reconfigure history within a more truthful and inclusive lens using the beautiful award-winning landscape of The Underline as the stage.
