Dear Selection Committee:
Thank you for considering this application of Miami -Dade North Arts & Humanities Foundation, Inc. dba
Miami Museum of Contemporary Art of the African Diaspora (Miami MoCAAD) for funding in the amount
of $50,000 to support the Overtown mural project launch and Creative Conversation panel discussion with
the curator and artists for Overtown's 2022 Soul Basel event. Miami MoCAAD's interactive media mural
and oral history project will culminate in a public launch Soul Basel event on November 27, which will be
held at the Historic Ward Rooming House.
Hans Ottinot and I co-founded Miami MoCAAD in 2013 because we believe that, as a hub of the
contemporary art world and a crossroads of the Caribbean, Miami is the right place for an institution that
discovers, collects, showcases, preserves, and exhibits the most advanced artists of the African Diaspora.
The proposed Overtown murals are part of a series of mixed -reality public art projects that incorporate in -
person art experiences and virtual engagement. QR codes will link viewers' devices to oral history videos;
a 3D model of the artist with biographical information; an interactive experience introducing Miami
MoCAAD's future museum; and a treasure hunt game about iconic people and architecture in Overtown.
The project honors Overtown's people, places and aspirations through the lens of contemporary art.
I am pleased that Miami MoCAAD is submitting its first proposal for funding to the Southeast
Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency. The work that the CRA does in support of the
Overtown community is critical, especially in these difficult times of uncertainty. Thank you for
considering our proposal.
Sincerely,
i,
