Cost: Free

During the 1970s, the photographer, editor, and philanthropist, Josefina Tarafa (born Havana, Cuba, 1907–died Miami, Florida, 1982) created an exceptional body of images that picture Miami transformed by the arrival of her fellow Cuban immigrants. The first exhibition dedicated to Tarafa’s photography, Remaking Miami includes thirty posthumous prints, made from photographs in an archive of approximately one hundred and fifty original images, now held by the Lydia Cabrera Papers at the Cuban Heritage Collection of the University of Miami Libraries.

In Cuba during the 1940s and 1950s, Tarafa worked as a documentarian, exploring national identity by photographing the architecture of nineteenth-century sugar mills and, in the company of her close friend, the anthropologist Lydia Cabera, Afro-Cuban religious rituals. Exiled, Tarafa continued her visual investigation of lo cubano (Cubanness) in Miami. By the early 1970s, the Cuban community comprised a majority of Miami’s immigrants.

Gallery hours at the Eduardo J. Padrón Campus are 10:00 AM–3:00 PM, Monday–Wednesday, and the second Saturday of every month. The exhibition is free and open to the public. For tours or any special visitor needs, please call (305) 237-7700 during museum hours or email moadinfo@mdc.edu.

Website
Cost: Free

Join Girls’ Club for a brunch visit! Girls’ Club hears from local artist AdrienneRose Gionta about her recent projects exploring the intersection of art and technology through her “big, & beautiful; body” of work, research, and inspiration:

IDENTITY & BODIES IN EXTENDED REALITY (XR) & SOMEWHERE IN-BETWEEN

AdrienneRose Gionta is a multi-disciplinary artist, curator, and VJ. Her work within extended reality (XR) employs web-based practices, artificial intelligence (AI), interactive installations, virtual reality (VR), video, sound, photography, sculpture, and drawing to analyze identity and cultural assumptions about fatness, beauty standards, embodiment, pleasure, and fulfillment on and offline. Gionta is currently an Artist in Residence at Oolite Arts in Miami.

Since 2004, Gionta’s work has been exploring programmed biases through the algorithms of the internet as well as within extended reality platforms such as Snapchat (AR), the Sims (VR), and Second Life (the OG Metaverse) to question the inclusion, limitless possibilities, and representation of fat-bodied females in art by a fat female artist.

Her most recent explorations in the Metaverse along with AI generative art platforms such as DALL-E 2, ChatGBT, and Midjourney demonstrate that there is still so much more to explore, learn, create, and share when it comes to art, technology, body image, and identity IRL and beyond.

Admission is free.
Reservations required.
Brunch snacks served.
This event is made possible with support from the Broward County Cultural Division.

“It was Mark Twain who said ‘There is no such thing as a new idea. It is impossible.’” ArtServe Executive Director Jason Hughes remarked. “But we’re pretty sure when you see our artists’ works at ‘Sole Perception,’ you’ll likely get some fresh ideas of your own!”

“Sole Perception” will showcase a variety of disciplines in the visual arts.

“It’s also an opportunity for guests to support local artists by purchasing their work and, with the holidays right around the corner, we can’t think of a better, more unique present than the gift of art,” Hughes added.

ArtServe inspires, supports and advances its diverse members, artists and community by promoting artistic development, education and prosperity through the exploration and presentation of the visual and performing arts.

Deseo, an original Flamenco work, inspired by Tennessee Williams’ Streetcar Named Desire, uses Flamenco music and dance as a language to tell the iconic story of one of the most critically acclaimed American plays of the 20th Century. With some of the most engaging characters in American Theatre, Tennessee Williams’ sensuous and emotional work centers around troubled former schoolteacher Blanche DuBois, who leaves small-town Mississippi and moves in with her sister, Stella Kowalski, and her husband, Stanley, in New Orleans. Blanche’s flirtatious Southern-belle presence causes problems for Stella and Stanley, who already have a volatile relationship. This sets the stage for intense drama, as each of the characters fights his or her demons and struggles to escape the world around them, in a violent storm of frustrated dreams, poetry, love, passion, illusion and cruelty.

They are like-minded leaders who want to empower at-risk children and families with the tools they need to overcome their trauma and grow into healthy, educated, and productive adults.

Zambrano produced her first album, “Rhythms of Life,” which she recorded in English & Spanish. Ariel started developing her fanbase posting Spanish covers, being reposted by many Latin artists. Ariel Rose released a salsa version of Adele’s “Send My Love (To Your New Lover),” combining the rhythm & instrumentation of salsa with her strong melodic pop vocals to create a lively, fun & fresh new take on the song. Having performed around the country for various events & galas, her voice has captured the attention of thousands.

DJ David B
David has been creating unique experiences for children and families since 2001. He has done hundreds of private events for clients and created activations for companies such as Nickelodeon, The Gap, Coconut Grove Arts Festival and the Make A Wish Foundation. He also has won the award for “Best Kids DJ’ from the “best of” issue from Los Angeles Magazine.

Following its performances at The Parker, the troupe heads to New York City to present the performance at the Lehman Center for the Performing Arts at Lehman College.

Endorsed by the Ministry of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sports in Jamaica as one of the official events of the country’s 61st independence celebration, the performance features the 35-member Campion College Dance Society, one of Jamaica’s leading high school dance troupes.

Roots highlights the struggles facing the country and the optimism in the hearts of its people.

From the opening dance “Cry of Africa” to the independence dance drama “Jamaica Love,” audiences will feel the raw kinetic energy of the talented troupe. “In Our Lane,” one of the troupe’s most treasured pieces, highlights the country’s dominance in track and field. The work was choreographed by Renee McDonald, a Campion alumna and resident teacher with the society. Dwright Wright, the troupe’s artistic director, choreographed “Misogyny,” which explores the social ills facing the country and reaffirms the promise of Jamaica being the place of choice to live, work, raise families and do business.

The performances are presented as part of the Broward Center’s Arts for Action: Black Voices initiative, presented by Baptist Health and JM Family Enterprises, Inc., which aims to use the arts as a catalyst to heighten awareness, deepen knowledge, create connections and elevate the voices of Black creatives in South Florida.

As part of the initiative, the Campion College Dance Society will present workshops at the L. A. Lee YMCA/Mizell Community Center located in the nearby historic Sistrunk community. Nearly 200 summer camp participants will learn to execute Jamaican traditional folk dance elements with an emphasis on musicality, phrasing and style.

Zambrano produced her first album, “Rhythms of Life,” which she recorded in English & Spanish. Ariel started developing her fanbase posting Spanish covers, being reposted by many Latin artists. Ariel Rose released a salsa version of Adele’s “Send My Love (To Your New Lover),” combining the rhythm & instrumentation of salsa with her strong melodic pop vocals to create a lively, fun & fresh new take on the song. Having performed around the country for various events & galas, her voice has captured the attention of thousands.

DJ David B
David has been creating unique experiences for children and families since 2001. He has done hundreds of private events for clients and created activations for companies such as Nickelodeon, The Gap, Coconut Grove Arts Festival and the Make A Wish Foundation.

Extasy

“Madhouse” or Sanctuary? The societal systems, isms, and structures in place do not support our overall well-being and have contributed to a continued deterioration in the mental health of our community. Mental Health is a community issue not only an individual one. No one should be expected to deal with these issues alone. Healing is community work and all art forms-
music, spoken word, dance, and visual arts-help to create a safe space for self-expression, healing, and healthy community building. This interactive art experience will provide a better understanding of the power of the arts and creative community-building through the arts.

MOCA miniMakers: Soap Carving Inspired by the Art of Lonnie Holley 71/23

MOCA miniMakers: Soap Carving Inspired by the Art of Lonnie Holley
Saturday, 07/01/2023-, 02:00 pm-04:00 pm
Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami
770 NE 125th St,
North Miami, Florida, 33161
Website
Cost: Free

Through the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami (MOCA)’s continued efforts to include diverse voices and perspectives, the museum is offering a robust series of educational programming this July.

On view through Oct. 1, 2023, “Lonnie Holley: If You Really Knew” invites visitors to experience the work of prolific artist Lonnie Holley in his first major exhibition in the South. Also on view is the “South Florida Cultural Consortium” (SFCC) exhibition which showcases the work of 12 intergenerational South Florida artists.

“Lonnie Holley: If You Really Knew” provides an intimate and focused look at the career of Birmingham, Alabama-born artist and musician Lonnie Holley. The exhibition, curated by MOCA curator Adeze Wilford, features 70 works including foundational “sandstone” sculptures, new works on paper and large-scale quilt paintings that depict faces. Known for his unique style of art that draws inspiration from his life experiences, Holley often incorporates found objects and everyday materials, which he transforms into thought-provoking art. Holley’s influence on Southern art is highlighted throughout “If You Only Knew,” including a section he curated featuring works from artists such as Miami native Purvis Young, Thornton Dial, Mary T. Smith and Hawkins Bowling.

The “South Florida Cultural Consortium” (SFCC) exhibition brings together 12 artists working across various media including, sculpture, film and site-specific installations. The exhibition, this year hosted and organized by MOCA, provides a snapshot of the breadth and depth of the artistic talent in the South Florida art scene.

On view outside the museum through late August is MOCA’s most recent “Art on the Plaza” commission, LIZN’BOW (Liz Ferrer and Bow Ty)’s “El Mundo Es Mágico.” The sculpture, “El Mundo Es Mágico,” features displaced queer characters in a mix of reality and fantasy within Miami iconography, inviting conversations of fluidity, gender, class and identity. Central to the duo’s work is the feminist reimagining of each element towards a more inclusive, fantastical worldview.

MOCA’s July programming includes:

MOCA miniMakers: Soap Carving Inspired by the Art of Lonnie Holley | Saturday, July 1, 2–4 p.m.
• Details: MOCA is hosting a special workshop inspired by featured artist Lonnie Holley. Participants will carve their own unique shapes and patterns with this take-home soap carving project.

On U.S. Veterans’ Administration 93rd Anniversary, ArtServe Art Exhibit
Explores Challenges of Life After Military Service

Friday, July 21 Opening Reception Coincides with VA’s 93rd Anniversary;
Monday, September 11 Closing Day Pays Tribute to First Responder Veterans

Ninety-three years ago on July 21, 1930, the creation of the U.S. Department of Veterans Administration forever changed how Americans cared for our veterans after their active service was completed.

To celebrate that commitment, ArtServe is opening a new exhibit coinciding with the Veterans Administration’s 93rd anniversary called “Veterans: A Family Perspective.”

The exhibit officially opens with a free, public reception on Friday, July 21, 2023 at ArtServe from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. ArtServe is located at 1350 E. Sunrise Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale.

It concludes on Monday, September 11 in tribute to first responders and other veterans of America’s worst terrorist attack.

Artist participation in the “Veterans” exhibit is open to all, including veterans, active-duty service persons and military family members, whose artwork depicting the challenges of life after military service will be showcased.

“As the fanfare of July 4 sunsets each year, supporting our veterans remains a substantial daily need,” ArtServe Executive Director Jason Hughes explained, noting that this imperative was underscored by the June 9, 2023 presidential executive order on “Advancing Economic Security for Military and Veteran Spouses, Military Caregivers, and Survivors.” “So much of the heartache and difficulty of reintegrating veterans into civilian life is borne by their loved ones. The untold story of these families’ courage will be on display at ArtServe.”

Sponsored by Florida Power & Light, Primo Liquors, United Way of Broward County’s Mission United, OutClique magazine and the USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD 28) Commissioning & Support Committee, “Veterans: A Family Perspective” opens to the public on Friday, July 14.

Solo exhibits by Marilyn Johansen and Tony Khawam will also be on display.

ArtServe hours are from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday.

Thanks to a grant from Broward Cultural Division and Culture Builds Florida, admission to both the July 21 reception and the ongoing exhibit are free.

ArtServe inspires, supports and advances its diverse members, artists and community by promoting artistic development, education and prosperity through the exploration and presentation of the visual and performing arts.
