During Art Week, AIRIE Activated Sydney Maubert's second iteration of "Queen of the Swamp" for Green Space Miami's exhibition "DISplace," featuring music by DJ Pressure Point, performance by Arsimmer McCoy, and dance and percussion by Nayah Merisier and artists David, and Lakeria, a group of local Miami artists who all share a love for movement, culture, and rhythm.

“Queen of the Swamp,” first debuted in AIRIE's Nest Gallery in Everglades National Park, acknowledges Miami's Bahamian history and its vital ties to a larger cultural geography of Southern and Indigenous aesthetics. It draws upon Miami's history of Bahamian laborers' construction of Miami's infrastructure on porous rock, and their present descendants' influence on Miami Bass culture.
