Dear Friends,‍Miami MoCAAD wants you to know that our thoughts are with you. The health and well-being of our community is our number one priority. We seek to be a source of encouragement and strength. Throughout centuries, the resiliency of African Diaspora culture and art inspired a way forward. In seeking to provide encouraging moments, we begin by featuring several women artists and images of their art in recognition of April as International Black Women’s History Month. In this difficult time, their work reminds us that black women have proven themselves the backbone of our strength. We include other “Moments” for taking a break to explore music, a virtual workout with Venus Williams and resources to support artists, you and our community.‍We wish you and your families, friends and colleagues well during this difficult time. We thank all who are working to help us in this time of need from first responders and health care workers to food deliverers and social service providers. We protect ourselves, each other and our community by staying inside to stay away from COVID-19.‍We are in this together,The Miami MoCAAD TeamOnward!

Dear Friends, The summer of 2020 is sweltering with a global pandemic, staggering economic hardship, and protests for a more perfect Union, demanding equality and social change that eradicates systemic racism. Though many of us are quarantined away from pools and beaches, let us be reminded of water as a soothing element that can bring stability and balance through the energy of an undulating tide. This month, Miami MoCAAD features artists who engage water to convey meditative images of expression and transformation and to illuminate the human spirit. Additionally, we present “Moments” of inspiration and exploration through virtual museum exhibitions, a talk with art historian and curator, Dr. Erica Moiah James, reflections on Miami’s black history, virtual concerts, summer youth activities, and our congratulations to Heavyn Lee, a Miami Beach High graduate heading to Harvard. We remind all to wear masks, and stay safe and smart to protect ourselves and each other. Onward! The Miami MoCAAD Team

Dear Friends,You have a voice that deserves to be heard and a vote that deserves to be counted. In a nation built on the promise of democracy, your vote is essential! If change is important, change must be demanded--in peaceful protests and at the polls. As we approach deadlines for voter registration next month, let us be inspired by the plight of this moment to participate in our local, state and national elections.September 18, 2020 marked the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Justice Ginsburg's support for gender equity, marriage equality and voting rights defines her legacy as a giant for justice. We send our condolences to her family and loved ones. May her memory inspire and give hope. This month, Miami MoCAAD features artists whose art encourages and emphasizes civic engagement in the United States and abroad.

Dear Friends, As Women's History Month closes and International Black Women's Month opens, we pause in remembrance of Breonna Taylor and Sandra Bland, two black women who died much to young. The world changed on March 13, 2020. The untimely death of 26 year old Breonna Taylor forever marks this day. At about 12:40 a.m., police officers in Louisville, Kentucky, executing a no-knock warrant, killed Breonna Taylor in her bed. Her death devastated her family and outraged the nation. Many artists, including Njideka Akunyili Crosby, LaToya Ruby Frazier, and Amy Sherald, created tributes honoring Breonna Taylor. We continue to be haunted by the violent police treatment of 28 year old Sandra Bland during a minor traffic stop in July, 2015, and her death three days later in a jail cell where she was found hanged. Her family disputed the ruling that her death was suicide. She was optimistically looking forward to a new job, which was to start in nearly two weeks when her young life was cut short. We lift up and say the names of Sandra Bland and Breonna Taylor as we must "Say Her Name"! This edition of the newsletter includes art moments featuring women artists, highlights of upcoming virtual talks and exhibitions, and chill and music moments at the end. Onward!

April 5, 2021

Dear Friends, As Women's History Month closes and International Black Women's Month opens, we pause in remembrance of Breonna Taylor and Sandra Bland, two black women who died much to young. The world changed on March 13, 2020. The untimely death of 26 year old Breonna Taylor forever marks this day. At about 12:40 a.m., police officers in Louisville, Kentucky, executing a no-knock warrant, killed Breonna Taylor in her bed. Her death devastated her family and outraged the nation. Many artists, including Njideka Akunyili Crosby, LaToya Ruby Frazier, and Amy Sherald, created tributes honoring Breonna Taylor. We continue to be haunted by the violent police treatment of 28 year old Sandra Bland during a minor traffic stop in July, 2015, and her death three days later in a jail cell where she was found hanged. Her family disputed the ruling that her death was suicide. She was optimistically looking forward to a new job, which was to start in nearly two weeks when her young life was cut short. We lift up and say the names of Sandra Bland and Breonna Taylor as we must "Say Her Name"! This edition of the newsletter includes art moments featuring women artists, highlights of upcoming virtual talks and exhibitions, and chill and music moments at the end. Onward!

Juneteenth Edition 2021

Dear Friends,For 156 years, Juneteenth has been celebrated to mark the end of slavery in the United States. Juneteenth speaks to the spirit of survival and brings celebrations of Black resiliency overcoming adversity. Persistent police violence and racial inequity deepened by COVID-19 disparities sparked a national reckoning on difficult unresolved legacies of enslavement of Africans and their descendants and propelled Juneteenth to the forefront.“Every year we must remind successive generations that this event [Juneteenth] triggered a series of events that one by one defines the challenges and responsibilities of successive generations. That’s why we need this holiday.” Texas State Rep. Al EdwardsJune also brings special commemorations of Pride, Caribbean Heritage, and Black Music. These celebrations reveal the power of resiliency and inspiration of creatives to illuminate beauty, tell stories, acknowledge injustices, and honor triumphs of the Black experience. Thanks to all who moved Congress to pass legislation yesterday to establish Juneteenth as a national holiday as our country continues its difficult struggle with unresolved racial inequities. Each of us can embrace the spirit of Juneteenth to forge a path to a better community and country.Onward! The Miami MoCAAD Team‍

This Unique Art Exhibit Is Using Technology To Highlight Black Life, Identity Across The Diaspora

“To understand the complexities of Black life today is to grasp in many ways how the world operates. Black life brings to the fore what the African-American thinker W. E. Du Bois once called a ‘second sight’ into this world,” said Anthony Bogues, Ph.D., Curator and inaugural Director of the Ruth J. Simmons Center for the Study of Slavery and Justice at Brown University, in a release shared with ESSENCE. “Each of the artists presented in this documentary and virtual exhibition engages with the world in unique ways. Their art tells us something specific and yet common about the world we live in,” he states.‍
