META Miami presents "Forever Summer: Miami’s Postwar image in the works of Andy Sweet, GODLIS, and Bunny Yeager", a photography exhibition celebrating the color, energy, and history of Miami through the iconic lenses of Andy Sweet, Godlis, and Bunny Yeager.

A visual love letter to the city where the light never fades and the summer never ends.

“This exhibition isn't just about nostalgia,” says Milagros Maldonado. “It’s about the specific, electric energy that happens when you mix Sweet’s technicolor joy with Godlis’s architectural grit and Yeager’s daring style. It’s the sun-drenched Miami mirage resonating in our minds—a place of Forever Summer.”

“The depth of this exhibition was made possible through the collaboration with Ed Christin,” says Isabel Pérez. “His archival insight into the Sweet, Yeager, and Godlis collections and his commitment to preserving the authenticity of these eras allowed us to build a narrative that feels both timeless and raw.”

The opening reception will be held on May 14 at 7 pm and will feature live music by Tim Laroque. The artists’ estates and representatives will be in attendance to celebrate this rare gathering of Florida’s photographic titans.

We look forward to seeing you there!
