Coffee and Sculptures

The Undergrounds Coffeehaus is a rare local alternative to Starbucks and its soul-sucking corporate vibe. The gemütlich little haunt sports a jam station and piles of used books and board games. And on Saturday, it will be overrun by an immobile crowd of plaster-casted relief sculptures created by Hilda Vazquez, a Fort Lauderdale-born artist who’s been exhibiting locally for 14 years. “Captives: the Bodies” is inspired by Michelangelo’s unfinished sculptures of slaves — muscle-bound men trapped in uncut blocks of stone.
