The installation for Miami Art Week, titled “Raised by Water, Held by Land,” is an immersive, multi-sensory installation inspired by the tree island sanctuaries of the Everglades—landforms shaped by water and held just above it. The three short films that features oral histories from Daniel Tommie (Seminole Tribe of Florida), Dinizulu Gene Tinnie, and Dr. Wallis Tinnie were created during artist Ania Freer’s 2022 AIRIE residency and subsequent visits to the Everglades. Originally part of AIRIE's Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Triennial exhibit "Making Home", this installation which is curated by AIRIE Global Artistic Director Cornelius Tulloch, invites reflection on the fragility of the environments that sustain us, and the intersecting pressures—climate change, colonialism, and systemic imbalance—that continue to endanger them.
“During my AIRIE residency, I found myself drawn back to the same places—returning at different times of day to listen, to feel. Moving through the park, I felt cared for, as if a gentle, nurturing energy was watching over me. There was a deep sense of being held by the land. That feeling of safety, of reciprocity with the environment, became the foundation for this installation.”
