The image of the prototypical feminist has not changed much since its inception: She’s angry, unshaven, and suspicious of men, if not downright misandrist. Judy Chicago, on the other hand, laughs easily. She wears dangling blue earrings and affectionately introduces her husband.

Even locals who don’t know squat about Miami Art Week can tell you about the old Drug Enforcement Administration warehouse on NW 29th Street, stacked year-round with contemporary artworks. The Rubell family has housed its extensive collection of contemporary art there for a quarter-century. But that era is coming to an end. Two years after the Rubell Family Collection (RFC) announced its intention to relocate to Allapattah in 2019, this December’s exhibit could be the last in its storied space.

Zoe Lukov, curator of the inaugural Faena Festival, uses Alfredo Jaar’s historic work, “A Logo for America,” as a jumping-off point. “If this is not America, what is it? What do we want it to be?” she poses, preferring to open a dialog rather than give direct answers. She addresses “the myths and narratives that separate us, and how to reimagine those in a way that fits our own lives.” The festival seeks to raise this and other questions through the lenses of performance, installation, video, and more.
