12:54 am
visual art world. the value of a cultural community. so many different cross sections of people that live here and come here and affect the community, and they're here, and it is super viable. >> reporter: and a few rows down, that banana, coyly titled "comedian." >> you see it because you want to see it. >> i think a work like this really challenges people to really think about what is art, what does it mean? and he's really playing with the audience. so it's good just to kind of push the conversation of what art can be. >> this mural kind of represents the visual representation of little haiti. >> reporter: while basil goers were able to have fun with truth, carl wasn't laughing. >> you want to talk to me about bananas? i think's a division people like me can't afford. >> reporter: he wants to make sure we aren't forgetting the immigrant communities. >> every morning i come by, and
12:55 am
i say i'm doing it right. >> reporter: immortalized on the wall is his father, one of the founding fathers of little haiti. how did you first find art? >> my dad. he sold art, music, literature. it was always around me. >> reporter: we're sitting in carl's studio, a space he uses to promote local artists and projects that promote his heritage. as a creator, nothing has everybody happened like this before to the city. >> no. >> reporter: what were your expectations? >> i didn't have any. >> reporter: back then, little haiti was a lot bigger. but with increased development across the city, the clause of gentrification quickly crept in. >> reporter: you feel like the

walls are closing? >> yeah, the walls are definite closing in. 82nd street to the north. now it is 54th street, pretty much 62nd street. everything else. >> reporter: eight blocks. >> yeah, eight blocks. >> reporter: carl took us around that eight-block radius where notes of creole culture. >> haitian. you can't control that. >> reporter: are everywhere. >> now you have haiti on a plate. a little built of jamaica, too. >> reporter: does this food remind you of growing up? >> yeah, that's what my mom cooked. that's the thing about a plate. memories on your tongue. you bite into a meat or a rice and all of a sudden you're transported back home. >> reporter: has miami made a conscious decision to become an art haven? it seems like art was always in little haiti. >> of course it was.
12:57 am
you heard it, you saw it, you felt it. it's fallacy that we live in a vacuum, that all of a sudden we have art bassle, now we're civilized. we've been civilized for a long time. >> reporter: but then you see art bassle and you see a banana on a wall selling for 120 k. >> i think it's perverse. i don't think it's something can you laugh at. too many people has paid the price to be here. too many. and maybe some may see it as a joke. i don't take it as a joke. so you're going to say my dignity is less than a banana on the wall? no. this, like i told you before, we have no bananas. not in little haiti. >> reporter: instead, they create and promote art that's an homage to the miami they know and love. >> we've seen the neighborhood
