Hattie Mae Williams, a 2013 Knight Arts Challenge Miami winner, recently launched a Kickstarter campaign for her Miami Sites Project. The first component, of the project, a site-specific dance and film at historic Miami Marine Stadium, is scheduled for July, she said. Williams hopes to raise $4,000 for to help match the Knight Arts Challenge grant and to pay for camera rental, lighting, wardrobe, dancers’ pay and post-production services, she said. The 50-year-old Miami Marine Stadium has been closed since being declared unsafe following Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Williams said the film, being developed by a team of Miami artists, “will capture the importance of the stadium, the history, the organic nature of the shifts that the graffiti population brings to the space and the constant inspiration the architecture holds.”
