Speaker Highlight: Xavier Cortada xcortada 
"The Underwater: miamidadeparks" by Xavier Cortada
miamidadecounty Artist-in-Residence

Xavier Cortada, Miami’s pioneer eco-artist, uses art’s elasticity to work across disciplines to engage communities in problem-solving. Particularly environmentally focused, his work aims to generate awareness and action around climate change, sea level rise, and biodiversity loss. He has created art at the North and South Poles to address environmental concerns at every point in between. Over the past three decades, the Cuban-American artist has created more than 150 public artworks, installations, collaborative murals, and socially engaged projects.

Cortada, winner of the 2024 National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine Excellence in Science Communications Award, often collaborates with scientists in his art-making. In 2007, as a National Science Foundation Antarctic Artists and Writers Program Fellow, Cortada used the moving ice sheet beneath the South Pole as an instrument to mark time; the art piece will be completed in 150,000 years. In 2008, as a NYFA-sponsored artist, Cortada planted a green flag at the North Pole to reclaim it for nature and launch an eco-art reforestation effort. His polar works led to the creation of “The Underwater,” a community-led climate action campaign that has been recognized by the United States’ 5th National Climate Assessment, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and is the topic of Cortada’s 2022 TED Talk.

Cortada, who serves as Miami-Dade County's inaugural Artist-in-Residence, has been commissioned to create art for the White House, the World Bank, CERN, the Frost Art Museum, and Miami City Hall, among many others. 

The symposium is free & open to the public. Link in bio for agenda & registration.
