Grammy-winning artists Ms. Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean are set to perform together at the launch of Saint & Citizen’s new cultural platform, The Fourth Space, in Miami Beach, Florida, on December 5.
The event, scheduled for Faena Forum during Miami Art Week, will form part of the 30th-anniversary celebration of the Fugees’ landmark 1996 album, The Score. The programme will combine a live performance by Hill and Jean with an immersive exhibition, a short film, and discussions exploring migration, identity, storytelling, and cultural memory.

Saint & Citizen Chief Executive Officer Paula Grant said the initiative is intended to create a space where people can connect through shared culture and experiences. She noted that Miami, shaped by generations of people bringing different cultures and traditions to the city, provides a fitting setting for the event.
The launch also connects with Fugees Hopeline, a global interactive project developed by Hill and Jean with public art platform CIRCA. The initiative invites people worldwide to call a dedicated line, hear messages from the artists and contribute personal reflections on hope. Selected recordings are expected to become part of an exhibition curated by Hill in collaboration with Saint & Citizen.
Hill has also created three original collage artworks featuring archival photographs and typography inspired by the group’s history. The works form part of the wider anniversary project.
Released in February 1996, The Score became one of the Fugees’ defining recordings, earning the group a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album in 1997 and an Album of the Year nomination. The Miami appearance adds an art-focused event to Hill and Jean’s anniversary performances, which began in November.
