♪♪ -Hi, I'm Bridget Finn.

I'm the Director of Art Basel, Miami Beach.

And welcome to the 22nd year of Art Basel Miami Beach.

Art Basel Miami Beach was sited in Miami Beach 22 years ago.

The main reasons was that it is the geographical nexus point North, South, and Central America, and our makeup of the show reflects that.

This year, we have 286 exhibitors hailing from 38 countries.

You have two thirds of the galleries from the Americas.

We have 19 galleries from Brazil this year.

We have galleries coming from Colombia and Argentina and also Mexico.

♪♪ -I'm here representing Mahku.

It's a solo booth of the Huni Kuin Artists Movement from the western portion of the Amazon in the border between Brazil and Peru.

Let's sell paintings to buy land, which is the Amazon forest, to improve people's life.

From the fact that they sell their paintings, they make the money and they reinvest in their community that way to protect the forest.

-You're standing in the Meridian sector, which features 17 large-scale projects that are really institutional in scale.

So this is a very international group of works.

-This piece was for seven months in Venice Biennale, in the Peruvian pavilion, and now we have bring it here.

It's a photogram made in the Peruvian Amazonia.

It's a 13-meters-long photosensitive paper that I put in the Amazonia in the floor.

And I put this 13-meters tree over this paper.

But when I was just beginning to try to do this, suddenly there come a storm.

And the storm formed lightning in the sky, exposed the piece.

-You will see a lot of very experimental works by our more emerging galleries.

We want to make this show welcoming and enticing for everyone.

We want to make sure that our galleries, that they're able to give their artists the best platform possible with this show.

We want to make sure our guests feel welcomed and that they're learning and really able to experience new art in our halls.

So making sure those balances are all in check and people are enjoying and having a good time is exciting, actually.

We're going to continue to build on what has been in place for the past 22 years and always work to evolve and make the show more exciting and interesting and efficient as we move forward.
