  • Event lasts 2 hours

The Miami Museum of Contemporary Art of the African Diaspora premieres "This Life: Black Life in the Time of Now" - A Captivating Documentary produced by Pass Story of Diaspora Forward, Inc.'s Founder and Filmmaker Michael Anderson, 5X Suncoast Regional Emmy Award-Winning storyteller; AND a Digital Exhibition Exploring Contemporary Black Existence.


"This Life: Black Life in the Time of Now" presents art reflecting the experiences of four artists with very distinct stories.

These artists, whose heritages span three continents, delve into varied perceptions of Black experience. Each artist brings a unique perspective and creative voice to exploring Black life today.

Anthony Bogues, Asa Messer Professor of Africana Studies and African and African Diasporic Art, at Brown University, explores how Black lives are represented today through the art and experiences of four artists whose heritages span three continents and whose art delves into varied perceptions of Black experience.

Rosana Paulino’s practice includes drawing, embroidery, engraving, printmaking, collage, sculpture, and installation, and concerns Black women in Brazilian society and myth-making.

Rènold Laurent celebrates Haiti—his art portrays community and spirituality, and a broad scope of Haitian culture.

Mark Thomas Gibson, who was born and grew up in Miami, and is now based in Philadelphia, focuses his work on American culture and how Black lives are represented in the USA.

Nontsikelelo Mutiti, from Zimbabwe, Africa, reflects on technology and diaspora aesthetics in her practice.
