Yakne Seminoli / Seminole World  

Art and history – present and past – intersect in Yakne Seminoli, a vibrant exhibition in partnership with Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum at HistoryMiami Museum.  Roughly translated as “Seminole World,” the title reflects the idea of “all our traditions coming together”.  The Seminole people have a history of adapting, surviving and thriving despite irreversible changes in lifestyle, government, and environment.  They have also helped shaped the Florida we know today. This exhibit will showcase an impressive number of Seminole artists and a diverse collection of art, revealing how these artists bring that history and culture to life.  Come experience how diversity brings a community together and learn how Seminole history is Florida history.

Over 25 Seminole artists will be represented in the exhibit, including:  Jimmy John Osceola, Brian Zepeda, Erica Deitz, Wilson Bowers, Elgin Jumper, Virginia Osceola, Gordon Oliver Wareham, Jojo Osceola, and Bobby Henry.
