About the presenter
Ana Rodriguez, a graphic designer by day and a devoted artist by night, made the journey from Colombia to Miami 27 years ago and has since grown to love Miami as her home. With two decades of experience in the broadcast industry, particularly in the news sector, she has developed a keen interest in current events and an understanding of the influence history has on our modern world.
Ana's passion for art and history has led her on a journey of artistic exploration. She embarked on a project aiming to find a common language to define her community's identity, starting with its history. Her artistic mission is to engage her community in discussions about the ever-evolving city of Miami, providing an open table to address important topics. Ana strives to craft memorable images that resonate with people, delivering a message that sticks with them.
