MOCA North Miami Presents Two Virtual “Conversations At MOCA” Programs

In celebration of Hispanic Heritage month, the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami (MOCA) is pleased to present two events as part of the virtual "Conversations at MOCA" series.

During "Conversations at MOCA: Interview/Interview with Luis Gispert + William Cordova" on Friday, Sept. 11, MOCA will connect with artists Luis Gispert and William Cordova as they discuss their past collaborations, current work including their artworks in MOCA's permanent collection and future projects.

"Conversations at MOCA: HAVANA, HAITI Iris Photo Collective," scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 23, is the third installment of the three-part series in conjunction with Miami-based photojournalist Carl Juste's current installation, "I am A Man," on the MOCA plaza.

Conversations at MOCA: Interview/Interview with Luis Gispert + William Cordova

Date/Time: Friday, Sept. 11, 7:00-8:30 p.m. EST

Join artists Luis Gispert and William Cordova as they discuss their past collaborations, current work, and future projects. Both Gispert and Cordova have artworks in MOCA's permanent collection and have exhibited at the museum. In 2003, MOCA presented Cordova's exhibition "No More Lonely Nights" with work that conjured various memories and emotions, inspired by songs, lyrics, and snippets of conversation. Cordova's site-specific installation fused urban culture and ancient Andean spirituality. MOCA presented Gispert's first comprehensive solo museum exhibition in 2009, which featured large-scale photographs, videos, sculpture and film.
