Juneteenth #CreativeConversation and Celebration

June 17, 2022 @ 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Veo Veo, I See I See, Mwen wè Mwen wè, mural project begins at 1021 NW 2nd Avenue, Miami, FL, the office building of the late Judge Lawson E. Thomas. Thomas was Miami-Dade County’s first Black judge, who presided over the only purely racially segregated court system in the United States known as the “Negro Municipal Court.” The mural will be created by artist Anthony Reed II, known as “Mojo,” and will pay homage to this important place and its history.

 

The site-specific murals embedded with unique QR codes will engage the public and showcase works of talented Black artists,”states Marilyn Holifield, co-founder Miami MoCAAD.

By scanning the QR codes, viewers will become immersed in Overtown-related interactive treasure hunt games; an interactive 3-D model of the artist providing biographical information, and an interactive museum experience map that invites engagement to chart the future Miami MoCAAD.

At 7:30pm, attendees will be invited to be among the first to experience Miami MoCAAD’s first interactive mural.
