"Zorita Takes Miami" Exhibition Opening Curated by Julio Capo, Jr.

This new exhibition shines a light on the life and career of famed burlesque dancer and icon Zorita, as well as her same-sex relationships and networks of friends. The performer and entrepreneur pushed boundaries in Miami and beyond in the 1940s, 50s, and 60s—a time when so much of what she did was often against the law. Today, perhaps more than ever, her legacy and influence offer important lessons on the power of individuals in shaping history and making necessary waves towards progress.
