In the year 2020, the city of Miami, along with the entire world, suffered a devastating blow from the onset of COVID-19: A place where hundreds of thousands of people flocked to year-round for vacation getaways, destination weddings, nightlife, food, culture & more, had transformed into a “ground zero” of racial injustice protests, widespread homelessness, and an endangered entertainment industry on the brink of implosion. On August 4, HistoryMiami museum will open A Portrait of a Pandemic featuring images taken by Rahsaan “Fly Guy” Alexander, a native of Miami who has spent the past 15 years as one of the city’s most sought after club DJs. The selections shown by HistoryMiami Museum will be a visual representation of what Miami has experienced since March 2020. Along with the photography, the exhibition will also showcase Rahsaan’s short documentary film PIVOT: A 2020 Story; an introspective look at how he rekindled his passion for photography.
