Xavier Cortada is proud to be showing “Underwater Vote” at the University of Miami Department of Art and Art History’s Faculty Art Exhibition at the University of Miami Gallery in Wynwood. Viewing hours are Wednesday to Friday 10-3 PM – by appointment only. The exhibition is closed to the general public; no visitors outside of UM students, faculty, and staff are allowed. The exhibition dates are October 8 – January 22, 2021.
As the 2020 election quickly approaches, Xavier Cortada’s Underwater HOA (www.underwaterHOA.com) is launching the “Underwater Vote Campaign” across Miami-Dade County. “I want us to make sure we vote, not just thinking about our immediate needs but also the greater chaos to come unless those we elect into office equitably address our climate emergency,” said Cortada.
Become Underwater Voters:
The Underwater HOA wants you to tell others to think about a future impacted by sea level rise when voting.
YARD SIGNS
Step 1 – Make your sign and place it in your front lawn
Take a white poster board or paint a repurposed yard sign in white (for Antarctic melting glaciers), draw a squiggly blue line across the bottom (representing rising seas), and then write the word “VOTE” in black capital letters across the sign (the height of that squiggly blue line will be determined by the policies enacted by those who we vote into office)
Step 2 – Share your voice: Take a picture with your sign and share it on social media tagging #underwatervote
Step 3 – Research your candidates (what’s their climate plan?), start conversations with friends and family, and VOTE
