Founded in 2018, in collaboration with the City of Miami Beach, the Department of Reflection is a foil (or reflection) of municipal entities while producing creative moments of exchange (and reflection) between the municipality and its residents, between the institution and its engagement, and between the museum and its public. As a post-governmental agency we collaborate internally but maintain our autonomy, pushing and interrogating the hosts’ work while creating bridges between them and their residents. Our work brings new perspectives to important local conversations, maybe even leading to solutions.
Issues tackled and topics researched by the Department of Reflection include the climate crisis, sea level rise, gentrification and displacement, and infrastructure including roads, bridges, scaffolding, concrete, and sand; and how these concerns affect our communities on a local, national, and global scale.
