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
