The Great Elephant Migration Hits Miami Beach: 100 Sculptures to See Now
This article covers The Great Elephant Migration exhibit on Miami Beach, part of Miami Art Week 2024.
As part of Miami Art Week, The Great Elephant Migration has landed on the sands of Miami Beach! You’ll find 100 life-sized, handcrafted elephant sculptures between 36th and 37th Street, near the Faena Hotel. These incredible pieces, made by indigenous artisans from the Nilgiri Hills in Southern India, are on display for free.
The exhibition isn’t just stunning; it carries a mission. The herd aims to raise awareness about elephant protection and promote harmony between humans and wildlife. Each sculpture is available for purchase, with proceeds supporting conservation organizations across the globe.
Crafted from Lantana, an invasive plant species found in India’s forests, the sculptures are a testament to sustainable art and environmental preservation. Using Lantana not only helps combat the spread of this invasive weed but also provides livelihoods for the local artisan community.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to see these majestic creations while they’re in town! Swing by South Beach now through December 8th to witness this art-meets-activism masterpiece.
