For the Department of Reflection's first Fieldwork: Tour we've invited expert outsiders Considered to be Allies to Miami, specifically Miami Beach's Venetian Islands, and asked them to help us investigate the famed millionaire mounds and surrounding waters, including Isola di Lolando, the Venetian Island that never was. Via mirrored tours happening simultaneously, one on a trolley bus and another on a small boat, the woman and her colleague will guide participating residents in a hands-on presentation of their findings, including public input collected by DoR.

Their Mission:

1. To help us distinguish the past from the present, the present from the future, and the future from the past.

2. To further our understanding of the Venetian Islands as wholly man-made land masses in relation to other man-made things.

3. To remind us of the strengths (and weaknesses) inherent in our hyper-local perspectives.

4. To find the truth, the lies, the truth in lies, and the lies in truths.

5. To facilitate reflection.
