MOAD Projects is pleased to host artist Loni Johnson for an artist residency at Miami Dade College's Homestead Campus. The artist will use the campus's gallery as a space in which to create new work and host open studio hours on Thursdays October 17 and 24 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
Loni Johnson is a multi-disciplinary visual artist born and raised in Miami, FL. As an artist, educator, mother, and activist, Johnson's work is rooted in family history and spiritual traditions. For Johnson, there is a cyclical obligation to give back and nurture our communities with her creative gift and it must be utilized to better our world. Through movement and ritual, the artist explores how ancestral and historical memory informs how, when and where we enter and claim spaces. Johnson graduated in 2003 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from SUNY at Purchase College School of Art and Design.
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 the National Endowment for the Arts, and with generous support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. The Miami Herald is a media sponsor of MOAD's programming.
