Pride 2023
Dear Miami MoCAAD Community, Welcome Pride! Celebrate culture, identity, and contributions. Pride Month traces its roots to pivotal historical moments, such as the Stonewall Riot and the Compton Cafeteria Riots, which became catalysts for change, symbolizing the resilience and unwavering spirit of individuals who fought against discrimination and police harassment. As we honor the achievements of African Diasporic LGBTQ+ artists, we are reminded of the significance of their creative contributions. Their artwork speaks to vibrant diversity and challenges societal norms, aimed at inspiring conversations about representation, inclusivity, and acceptance. We invite you to explore the artwork that pushes boundaries of understanding and compassion. ~ Miami MoCAAD
