Afro-Latinx Take Center Stage For Miami MoCAAD's Hispanic Heritage #Creative Conversation Series
The Series will kick off with a Lively Conversation Revealing Hidden Histories, Complexities, and Cultural Contributions.
Miami MoCAAD will celebrate Hispanic Heritage and Arts + Humanities month through a series of virtual conversations focusing on Afro-Latinx histories and contributions within the African Diaspora. Miami MoCAAD and Orlando Addison, Afro-Latinx author, and advocate, will collaborate on a conversation series aimed at community dialogue revealing complexities, the related historical context, contributions, and art of the Afro-Latinx community. These spirited conversations will share information excluded from history books, explain historical barriers that kept the Afro-Latinx community invisible, share contributions of Afro-Latinx creatives, and underscore connections and common denominators. The Series kicks off with Orlando Addison in conversation with Yvette Rodriguez, Founder, Afro-Latino Professionals of Miami, discussing complexities, labels, and the historical context on Thursday, October 7, at 6 pm.

"The presence Afro-Latinx art and art-making practices rarely take center stage in mainstream art exhibits. We look forward to spotlighting drivers of Afro-Latinx history and arts culture that have often been in the shadows or the margins," states Miami MoCAAD co-founder Marilyn Holifield.
