That changes on Friday when Bayfront Park hosts Hay Maze Miami. As the name implies, the au- tumn-themed event involves a maze, from which you’ll have to navigate your way out. (Pro tip: Let the nearby skyscrapers be your guide.) In addition to the maze, enjoy the beer garden, live music, and leaf pit. 4 to 10 p.m. Friday through November 6, at Bayfront Park, 301 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; miamihaymaze. com. Tickets cost $25 to $80 via eventbrite. com. JOSE D. DURAN On Saturday, head to the Bass to take in “Jami- lah Sabur: The Harvesters,” an exhibition of new works by the Jamaican-born, Brussels- based artist. On view through April 30, 2023, Sabur’s show explores the intersections of ge- ology, climatology, geography, and memory with the dynamics of power and capitalism. The artist examines climate change as an ex- pression of geological rhythms and econo- mies for the exhibition. The title comes from Pieter Bruegel’s 1565 painting, which show- cases adults harvesting in the foreground as youths play in the midground and a bay dot- ted with ships fills the distant background. Sabur was inspired to re-examine the paint- ing in the context of the current energy crisis and record-breaking heat waves. Noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, at the Bass, 2100 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; 305-673-7530; thebass.org. Tick- ets cost $8 to $15; free for Miami Beach resi- dents. JOSE D.
