Although not a native Miamian\, she is a 305-er at heart. Ingrid has remained true to her indigenous roots and is passionate about Native American history and culture. She is best known for her eco-history tours of Miami’s historic sites\, neighborhoods\, and waterways. Ingrid currently serves as Museum of Miami’s Coordinator of Education Programs and Community Engagement and has been with the museum for over 10 years. \n\n\n\n\n\nJ.S. RashidPresident & CEO of SECTOR Public Private Partners\, Inc.\n\n\n\nJ.S. Rashid serves as a community development professional in the Historic African American and Bahamian enclave in the Coconut Grove community of Miami also known as “Village West” and “Little Bahamas.” He has engaged in the promotion and preservation of the culture and history of this sector of Coconut Grove for several years – serving as a consultant to the Coconut Grove Cemetery Committee\, which manages the historically designated Mariah Brown House; as a programmatic supporter and promoter of the iconic Goombay Festival; and as founder of the KROMA Art Gallery during Art Basel 2013\, a multidisciplinary arts and media center designed to support artists and engage the public. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Barnacle Historic State Park\n\n\n\nBuilt in 1891\, The Barnacle offers a glimpse of frontier life during the Era of the Bay\, when all travel to and from Miami was by sea. Situated on the shore of Biscayne Bay\, this was the home of Ralph Middleton Munroe\, one of Coconut Grove’s most charming and influential pioneers. Munroe preserved the forest on his land\, cutting out only a winding buggy trail through the hammock — barely wide enough for one vehicle. As a result\, the property contains many large\, old trees. Left in its natural state\, The Barnacle Historic State Park appears much as it did in Munroe’s day. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeeting Location:In front of The Barnacle Historic State Park3485 Main Hwy\, Miami\, FL 33133\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdditional Information\n\n\n\nPlease see below for additional information regarding the tour.

She is the grandniece of famous Haitian saxophonist-composer Raoul Guillaume as well as Guy Durosier\, a versatile Haitian singer and organist whom Edith Piaf once called ”the living breath of Haiti’. Upon immigrating to the USA\, she received scholarships to pursue her higher education in piano performance and the healing arts leading her to find a wholistic path in pursuing her passions in ancient civilizations through her Doctorate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. In addition to her clinical practice and teaching appointments\, she regularly performs and produces with a variety of musicians and has recently been working on music scoring for films which led her to compose the theme song for a short Haitian film entitled “Brother Peace” featuring historian Bayina Bello. Her current performance instillation “Vodou Alchemy” is an avant-garde concept that weaves the Haitian traditional songbook with improvised sound and somatic therapy principles to immerse the audience in a profound ceremonial healing journey.  \n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Gerdès FleurantAssociate Professor Emeritus of Music\n\n\n\nDr. Gerdès Fleurant is an Ethnomusicologist focusing on the folk\, ritual\, and traditional music of Africa and the Americas\, with specialization on the culture and rhythms of the Rada Rite of Haitian Vodou. \n\n\n\nHe teaches courses on the music of Africa\, Afro-America\, the Caribbean (Brazil\, Cuba\, and Haiti)\, world music\, and fieldwork/research methods in Ethnomusicology. His research is grounded in his commitment to Applied Ethnomusicology\, an approach that emphasizes tangible benefits for the people we study as well as the researcher. His research on the Rada Rite of Haitian Vodou\, presented in his book Dancing Spirits: Rituals and Rhythms of Haitian Vodun\, the Rada Rite\, is considered a landmark\, serving as a basis for the work of several emerging scholars and dancers to date. As a founding member of the Haitian Studies Association (HSA) and The Congress of Santa Barbara (KOSANBA)\, the Scholarly Association for the Study of Haitian Vodou\, he participates actively in the socio-political life of Haiti. He served as a consultant to the Ministry of Culture\, developing “Le Plan National de la Culture\,” and was the first “Recteur” of the University of the Central Plateau (UPC) in a valiant effort to develop a public higher education network outside of Port-au-Prince\, the capital city.Together with his spouse\, Florienne\, the couple built and operate the Léocardie & Alexandre Kenscoff Cultural Center (C-CLAK) and the Gawou Ginou School (GGS) in Mirebalais\, a pivotal town in Haiti’s Central Plateau. The Center welcomes exchange students and colleagues interested in the culture\, traditional music and dance of Haiti. The center offers Wellesley students on site courses on Haitian Music\, Dance\, and Culture and produce performances from Wellesley’s “Yanvalou Drum and Dance Ensemble”\, the performing ensemble co-founded in 1990 by Dr. Fleurant and his former student with Ms. Kera Washington. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdditional Information\n\n\n\nPlease see below for additional information regarding the program.
