A haunting portrait of the Everglades appears in Miami

Artist Isabelle Brourman, known for courtroom sketches of high-profile figures like Donald Trump and Johnny Depp, has unveiled a new painting titled "No Rest for the Wicked" (2025). The work synthesizes her observations from documenting the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in courtrooms across the country, incorporating imagery from the Everglades and the detention facility nicknamed Alligator Alcatraz in southwest Florida. The painting is featured in the exhibition "The Body is the Body," curated by Simon Brewer and Nathalie Martin at the Rice Hotel, a renovated former hotel in downtown Miami now used as an art studio and exhibition space.

Artists protest Alligator Alcatraz at Scope Art Show

At the Scope Art Show in Miami, Amnesty International has presented an installation titled "Cruelty Is Their Point—But Another World is Possible" featuring works by artists Agua Dulce Gloriosa and Clarence James. The project protests the notorious migrant-detention facility in the Everglades nicknamed Alligator Alcatraz, which opened in July 2025 and is operated by Florida’s Division of Emergency Management in partnership with the US Department of Homeland Security. The installation includes an altar-like piece by Dulce Gloriosa and a collage by James, and invites fairgoers to sign a petition demanding the facility's closure.
