Join artist Cristina Lei Rodriguez and MOAD team members for a new type of workshop. During MOAD Stories, participants will enjoy a special curated tour of the Freedom Tower, focused on personal reflection and storytelling. Following the tour, attendees will gather in the Knight Skylight Gallery for conversation and artmaking. All ages are welcome. Museum admission and workshop are free for all those who register.
Cristina Lei Rodriguez is an American visual artist known for an expansive practice that includes installation, photography, sculpture, public art, and more recently, painting. Rodriguez’s artworks are influenced by her identity and experience in the cultural landscape of the American tropics. Her perspective comes through in the landscapes she creates that position nature as a tool for deep reflection about accumulation, decay, transformation, and texture. The works are variously textured- like layers of ground sedimentation- created from materials that are plastic and industrial and, on the other end of the spectrum, precious and earthy.
Visitors to the Freedom Tower may park for free in the MDC garage at 500 NE Second Avenue, between NE Fifth and NE Sixth Streets.
The Museum of Art and Design (MOAD) at MDC may document the event, including its attendees. By entering the area, and/or participating in the event, you consent to the recording and its use in any form.
MOAD’s programs are made possible with the support of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor, and Board of County Commissioners. They are sponsored in part by the State of Florida through the Division of Arts and Culture, and with generous support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. The Miami Herald is a media sponsor of MOAD’s programming.
