Miami MoCAAD Creative Conversation and Mural Unveiling
Nov 27, 2022
4:00 PM to 7:00 PM
Cost: Free
Miami MoCAAD is finding new and inventive ways to combine art, technology, and the use of oral histories for its immersive digital art experience during Art of Black Miami. They have commissioned Overtown native and artist Reginald O’Neal to create a mural on the side of Miami’s Black Longshoreman’s #1416 building in Historic Overtown. In addition, residents and visitors will have the opportunity to scan a QR code and listen to the contributions that ILA #1416 has made through their oral history interviews.
The celebration continues with Miami MoCAAD’s creative conversation, co-hosted with Hampton Art Lovers at the Historic Ward Rooming House on Friday, November 27, 2022, 4 pm-7 pm. Panelists include Reginald O’Neal; Donnamarie Baptiste; Anthony Reed II, “Mojo”; Torin Ragin, President, International Longshoremen’s Association, Local 1416. The conversation will be moderated by UM Law Professor Charlton Copeland, grandson of a New Orleans showman.
The community can attend in person or virtually. To RSVP to attend in-person and online viewing, attendees can register at https://bit.ly/MiamiMoCAADSoulBaseKickoff.
