Terra Firma engages us to channel our memories, our connection to the land, our city, our home. Bringing a native voice, Betty Osceola shares the perspectives, teachings, and traditions of the Miccosukee people. The performance invites us to redefine our relationship with our home by encouraging the public to share a message for future generations via written notes that will be placed in a capsule and offered to the land. It is an acknowledgement for our land ancestors and an opportunity for the public to ground themselves in the communal spaces we share. 

This work was made possible with the support of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami- Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners. Our community and producing partners include, Dream in Green and Live Arts Miami. Terra Firma is an on-going research we hope to expand upon and present to communities beyond South Florida.
