Pussy Riot creator, Nadya Tolokonnikova, will join SCOPE for a discussion on hope and change where we explore how art can be a catalyst that inspires and empowers people to stand-up to injustice. This year, Nadya brings her "This Art is a Hammer That Shapes the World", "Knife Play", "Putin's Ashes" and “Holy Squirt” art pieces to Miami. Her discussion will touch on the history of Pussy Riot and discuss current art-for-change initiatives such as “GOD SAVE ABORTION”. Additionally, audience members can expect to learn about future actions Nadya, and other members of the movement she founded, are producing all around the world, from Mexico to Ukraine and beyond.

The proliferation of digital technologies in the 20th and 21st centuries have arguably upended aesthetic expression, consumption, and presentation. These trends have destabilized traditional cultural hierarchies, while allowing new forms, processes, and networks to develop. Rather than positing the supremacy of either digital or physical, this panel will explore the dialectic of their collaboration: how digital serves physical, and vice versa. Bringing together artists, collectors, and builders from various aesthetic disciplines, the discussion will provide educational insights into these new modes of creating, seeing, and connecting, how they are at once a departure from and a continuation of the past, and how new audiences can (and should) access and embrace this new normal.
Panelists: Gmoney, Nicole Sales Giles, JN Silva, Parin Heidari, Yosnier Miranda
Moderator: Aniko Berman

Shining a Light: the work of championing underrepresented artists
Why are galleries shining a light on BIPOC artists? How do curators advocate for collecting plans to diversify museum holdings? Are museums using their collections to challenge the art historical cannon? Using these questions as a springboard, artists, gallerists, museum professionals and curators of contemporary art will be in open conversation about their work to champion underrepresented artists in museums.
Immersive is not a buzzword, it's an inherent trust in what happens when individuals are given autonomy and agency inside of artistic expression. Immersive art environments are radically altering the art viewing experience, and fundamentally challenging the ways that galleries and museums operate, offering more accessible, transformative experiences that center on the participant. Who will they be on the other side?
Join Margot Mottaz, Curator at SuperBlue, Catherine Turp, Executive Director of Creation and Innovation at Moment Factory, Virgil Ortiz, Ceramicist and Immersive Installation Artist from Cochiti Pueblo, New Mexico, Han Santana-Sayles, Senior Director of Artist Collaboration at Meow Wolf in a provocative discussion moderated by Kelly Schoeffel, Chief Marketing Officer at Meow Wolf.
This Panel would bring together a diverse group of experts, including digital artists, cultural critics, art historians, and social media influencers. The panel will explore how memes, as viral pieces of digital content, have transcended their role as internet jokes to become a form of art that can comment on society, politics, and culture. It will discuss the way memes influence and reflect contemporary aesthetics, their use as a democratic tool that allows for mass participation in art-making, and their archival value as snapshots of the cultural zeitgeist.
SCOPE continues to bring the world of art to unconventional settings. This year the SCOPE Walls, a series of murals, will be featured at SCOPE on the sands of Miami Beach. This project is a continuation of SCOPE’s mission to work globally while thinking locally, impacting the art industry as a whole with a profound respect for the surrounding community.
The works this year are a black and white monochrome highlighted with select, powerful, colors from a rainbow. This is a way of drawing a broad but simple 'line in the sand' as it were. This line though is not an ultimatum but rather an invitation. Through the righteous aid of all the participating artists. NOT SO BLACK AND WHITE, is our effort at a beach front venue that sparks dialogue and discourse. Our world is rapidly changing and evolving and through art and through conversations we move together.
This joint project between SCOPE Art Show and STRAAT Museum brings together two leading international art institutions with a shared commitment to promoting diversity, inclusion, and social justice. STRAAT Museum in Amsterdam is the world's largest Street Art and Graffiti focused museum. The collaborations created a unique platform for artists to showcase their work, engage with a global audience, and participate in important conversations about contemporary social issues.

Gallery owner Ki Smith will speak to fellow young gallery owners Quintin Blumka, Salome Papashvili, & Patricia Trafton about building a program and helping to shape the future of the art world. We will dive into topics spanning from how to discover and build with new talent to the importance of young entrepreneurial programs. Join us as we discuss how to collect contemporary and discover early blue chip.
Through Connor's art, he explores the perspective of existing on our planet within the vast universe, surrounded by the forms and branded symbols that define our culture and shape our identity. He contemplates the collector's vital role in supporting artists like himself who strive to innovate and offer fresh perspectives in our quest for meaning. He believes that making art should be a freely accessible, ubiquitous social practice, enabling everyone to see and think without limitations, not just those deemed artists. He questions whether innovation begins at the individual level, driven by intention, or if collaboration is inherently rooted in the human spirit. In these questions and reflections, Connor seeks to bridge the gap between art, culture, and the human experience.
Artist and two-time Tony, Emmy and Golden Globe nominee, Jeremy Pope, will join SCOPE in a conversation with Oscar-winning screenwriter and playwright, Tarell Alvin McCraney (Moonlight), around his photojournalism series, FLEX(bitch).
Growing up with a preacher and professional bodybuilder father, this series opens a dialogue about Pope’s journey to manhood, masculinity, and self-love. What began as a self-funded creative project transformed into a therapeutic journey and a profound excavation of self.
Pope and McCraney will discuss the confrontation of fears, unexplored thoughts, and the unraveling of internalized homophobia. FLEX(bitch) challenges preconceived notions, urging us to bend what we believe about ourselves, our convictions, and how we show up in the world.
This panel will explore philosophical intersections between art making, meditative practices, and social justice. The act of mindfully responding to materials suggests a path for vital connection that may begin on an intimate scale, but has the potential to unfold with global implications. Embodied practices draw our attention to material reality and the interconnection of our bodies with an entangled political and ecological landscape. Inspired by the sculptures of Lauren Fensterstock and LaNia Roberts on display at Scope, this panel will explore how making and viewing encourage the empathetic understanding that opens the possibility of transformation and justice.
In the West, Post-Enlightenment thinking has positioned the idea of a separate self at the center of our social and economic systems. Dividing our world into isolated categories of being shows up in our classification of nature, divisions of race, and our economic systems, clearing a moral pathway for colonialism, capitalism, and environmental destruction. Drawing our attention back to the materiality of objects and the interconnection of things creates empathy, helps us see mutual consequences, and begins to rebuild the entangled reality that is the common destiny of our planet and people.

The word ‘paradise’ conjures images of warm, sunny holidays on white, sandy Caribbean beaches kissed by turquoise seas - a sense of escapism accessible to a few and desired by many. It is a notion created for tourists rather than those from the Caribbean, for whom a shared colonial past, national idiosyncrasies, and the realities of daily life complicate the idea of paradise. The story of the Caribbean and the juxtaposition of the notion of paradise is often told
through the work of artists from the region. Caribbean art is evolving and in the midst of a transformational moment, reimagining paradise through an expanding ideology that is more experiential and daring. In addition to increasing the perception of its monetary value, the very definition of Caribbean art and what it means to be an artist from the Caribbean is becoming more expansive and inclusive.
This talk will explore how artists and gallerists, bringing together related visual languages, independent and shared identities, ways of thinking, and nuanced expressions, can be a driving force for creating a sense of agency and building an ecosystem to control a Caribbean narrative for value creation and authentic cultural preservation.
As new AI updates bring photorealism within reach, we witness the end of the first true era of AI artwork.
When perfection is possible, imperfection will be a choice, and the statement of each artwork after will have shifted subtly but irreversibly.
We in the arts community are given the opportunity to recognize this epoch in its own time. To capture the “DNA” of this moment, this imperfection, this “fly in the ointment” saved with the same dignity and importance of any “mosquito in the amber”.
The common failure point of AI is how HANDS are represented in the artwork. For some reason, this commonality has been the most widely recognized, permeating all output aesthetics during a brief and hyper-accelerated time.
There will be a presentation of artwork from this era shown on the main stage screen while experts in the field discuss this period of time and what advancements are being seen in the world of AI art today.

Studio Noize presents a diverse panel of collectors, artists, and patrons of the arts to discuss the experiences and business around art fairs. The art fair has become a cornerstone in the art world for different reasons. Each panelist offers unique perspectives on what the art fair does and does not do for the participants.
Studio Noize podcast is a space to celebrate the Black creatives redefining the art world hosted by Jamaal Barber. You learn so much about artists and their art by conversing with them. I always get charged up and excited after those studio visits. It doesn’t matter if it’s a superstar artist like Deborah Roberts or Bisa Butler, or a legend in the game like David Driskell or Kevin “WAK” Williams, or an emerging artist doing their first solo show. Every artist has a story behind what they do. We are sharing a creative energy. You feel it in their air. You get to take some of that inspiration and passion to your studio. I want everybody to get that excitement and to keep motivated to make their best art.
Jamaal Barber is a creative, imaginative soul born in Virginia and raised in North Carolina. In 2013, after seeing a screen printing demo at a local art store, Jamaal started experimenting with printmaking and made it his primary focus. His woodcuts and mixed media prints can be seen on display at ZuCot Gallery. They have also been included in the Decatur Arts Festival, Atlanta Print Biennial Show, and various art shows around the Metro Atlanta area. Additionally, Jamaal has done work for Twitter, the New York Times, Penguin Random House, Black Art in America, and Emory University. In 2004, Jamaal moved to Atlanta, GA, with his wife and two children.
Love Lane works deeply with the art community, including large museums, top galleries, and internationally acclaimed artists, to create captivating films. Our work illustrates the artist and gallery's vision and creates a connection to the community for art lovers, patrons, and potential buyers. In this talk, we will illuminate how these films are created, from the research to the final edit, and how galleries and artists can talk to their audience with maximum impact.
Through our intimate portrait of Ai Wei Wei for the MFAH, we show the artist in action, revealing his creative intentions and emotions behind his work. Similarly, with films depicting El Anatsui's large-scale bottle cap tapestry, we allow the viewer to understand the artist's vision and motivation. In our film with Olafur Eliasson's interactive work, we see Eliasson's desire to democratize art. With Cristina Iglesias' fountains, we know (learn of) her connection to her home mountains in Northern Spain. For the film with sculptor Joel Shapiro for LGDR Gallery NY, we allowed the audience to feel like insiders and to bond them with the artist's creative process. Our films expose the concrete behind the abstract.
Love Lane is where the craft of the story opens the door to the creative process and creates the human connection. We always aim to bring excitement and insight into the process so the audience can see the artist's mind and do this through succinct and powerful realized visual narratives.
