Insert Here - Lost , Found, and Placed Objects in Miami's Books

Do you ever wonder what happens when you leave something inside a book? INSERT HERE compiles the memories of our community found stuffed within the pages of Bookleggers Library.

Bookleggers and local university rare book librarian Jay Sylvestre have curated an ongoing exhibition of insertions found throughout our collection. This project also commissions and showcases work by Miami artists that speaks to the city they come from, capturing and preserving a record of Miami’s artistic community. Editions of these bookmarks will be mailed to select Miami-Dade zip codes through the USPS, and placed in our collection to be dispersed across the community.

Join us for a launch party and digital discussion on Instagram live with: Sue Montoya, Najja Moon, Nicole Salcedo, and surprise guests! Made possible with the support of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, and the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, and the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners.
