D’Puglia and DSCENE return to Miami Art Week with a new edition of Go Where The Wind Takes You, expanding the initiative’s presence across the city with a focused program of installations, gatherings, exhibitions, and private events. This year’s edition builds on the momentum created in Castro, Puglia, where D’Puglia and DSCENE hosted their spring artist residency in May. It produced new work and conversations that led directly to the creation of Puglia, Unframed, the project’s signature artist guide, published by DSCENE Publishing and edited by Katarina Doric.
ART
At its core, the guide captures the experience of the residency: the landscape of Castro, the Adriatic light, the textures of stone and vegetation, and the layered histories that shape Puglia’s identity. Through contributions from participating artists and collaborators, the publication documents the encounter between place and practice, a record of how artists absorbed the region, interpreted it, and transformed it into work. With essays, conversations, drawings, photographs, and reflections, Puglia, Unframed presents Puglia as a living studio, offering an intimate reading of the territory from the perspective of those who created within it.
D’Puglia’s return to Miami maintains this connection between Puglia and the wider creative network forming around the project. Curated and produced by Gordana Zgonjanin, the initiative moves fluidly between cultural programming, design-driven research, ecological focus, and cross-sector collaboration. Partners include The Standard Miami Beach, LPM Brickell, and AKA Brickell, with DSCENE, L’Officiel St. Barth, and Purple PR supporting the program’s media presence. Residency partners extend across Flowers Winery, Osmo, Tabu, Palazzo Tafuri, Moxy South Beach and others who continue to shape the project throughout the year.
The 2025 edition gathers an international group of collaborators including Dame Helen Mirren, Alec Von Bargen, Antonio Aricò, Coco Brun, Federica Livia, Lougè, Luca Bray, Peter Matthews, Renzo Buttazzo, Vuk Cuk, and Marcantonio. Their work reflects the curatorial frame that defines Go Where The Wind Takes You, an exploration of movement, heritage, ecology, and exchange. Miami becomes the place where these different currents meet, extending the dialogue that began in Castro.
