Green Space Miami

Primal Ensemble presents a live sound activation of Julia Zurilla’s immersive installation ‘Tide of Memory’ at Green Space Miami. Through improvisation with percussion, synthesizers, and acoustic instruments, the ensemble creates a sonic landscape that evokes meditative resonances, like the sound of the sea or the wind, dialoguing with the projected imagery and the material qualities of the space.

During the performance, the gallery transforms into an environment of listening and contemplation where image, sound, and presence intertwine in real time. Visitors are invited to inhabit the installation from within and are welcome to bring their own yoga mat to immerse themselves in the experience.

March 21, 7pm, Green Space Miami. Bring your yoga mat.

Kandi & Katie Stirman , Beautiful Door, 2025
Rope, yarn, aluminum ring. 6 feet diameter x 10 feet height.

In New Atlantis, a city both seductive and doomed, the Beautiful Door becomes a temple of allure and defiance. A suspended portal inviting everyone to step inside, confronting the eroticism of the female form. The work thrives in contradiction; sacred yet provocative, intimate yet monumental. It honors the feminine force that empowers women, “accepting all donations” with unapologetic power. As Miami slips towards the sea, this piece stands as a totem celebrating power, vulnerability, eroticism and sanctuary - honoring the female body, not as an object, but as a threshold.

Born in Long Beach, NY, and raised in Miami Beach, Kandi Stirman discovered her creative voice early, mastering macramé as a teenager and weaving it into her father’s rope business. Alongside her husband, artist and visionary Rollin Stirman, she later transformed Miami Cordage into a certified rope manufacturer, laying the groundwork for a unique dialogue between craft, industry, and art.

Kandi’s artistic career came into full focus in 2016, when she became a studio mate with her niece, artist Sara Kaplan, in Miami’s Little Haiti. With Rollin’s engineering guidance, she completed her first major commission: a 100-foot rope sculpture at the Hotel Marseilles in South Beach, a work that remains on view.

In 2017, Kandi began collaborating with her daughter, Katie Stirman. Drawing on her extensive background in theater and creative engineering, Katie brings a dynamic counterpart to Kandi’s vision. Together, they create monumental rope-based sculptures that blend material innovation with poetic form. Their works are featured in prominent public and private spaces across Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, with clients including Windstar Cruise Lines, The Regatta Grove, The Wharf Miami, The Wharf Ft. Lauderdale, The Ray Hotel, and numerous private collections.

Cristina Maingrette , ‘Sou Teras’
NEW ATLANTIS, Green Space Miami

Sou Teras, meaning “on the terrace” in Haitian Creole, transcends a mere physical location. It symbolizes a living tradition, a cultural ritual rooted in connection, relaxation, and community. Whether on a sidewalk, a makeshift seat, or an actual terrace, these gatherings transform ordinary public spaces into vibrant hubs of conversation, music, games, and storytelling.

Cristina Maingrette is a Haitian artist based in Miami whose practice is deeply rooted in the vibrant artistic traditions of her homeland. Growing up immersed in Haiti’s rich cultural landscape, she drew inspiration from the artistry and craftsmanship woven into everyday life.

Cristina’s artistic journey began with illustration, using ink on paper as a medium to facilitate a meditative state of creativity. This practice continues to anchor her work, offering clarity and calm while opening pathways to new explorations.

Guided by curiosity and a spirit of experimentation, Cristina explores a variety of mediums including clothing design, painting, and printmaking. Yet she consistently returns to the simplicity and depth of ink and paper, finding endless possibilities in its timelessness.

Through her work, Cristina bridges the heritage of Haitian artistry with contemporary approaches, creating a dialogue that resonates across cultures and audiences.
