Dear Mr. McQueen:
Thank you for considering this application on behalf of Miami -Dade Arts & Humanities Foundation,
Inc. dba Miami Museum of Contemporary Art of the African Diaspora (Miami MoCAAD) for funding in

Urban in Overtown and $38,200 to support our world premiere of Knight New Work and Virtual Art
Exhibit March 2024 at the Historic Lyric Theater in Overtown for $135,900.
Miami MoCAAD's mission is to discover, commission, collect and preserve the work of the most
advanced contemporary artists of the global African Diaspora and exhibit this art at the highest level
both at home and abroad. The programs that we present in the Overtown community are critical to
that mission and position Overtown as a nexus for innovative art and technology projects with a
local, national and international audience and team of creatives. Extensive traditional and digital
marketing will ensure that both locals and visitors during Miami Art Week have broad awareness of
Overtown's significance as a cultural and entertainment destination. Miami MoCAAD is leveraging
technology to create a platform that brings the contemporary art of Africa and its Diaspora center
stage, connects people, and modernizes the museum experience.
Miami MoCAAD's 2023 Soul Basel Kickoff on Monday, December 4, will feature the world premiere
of the film, This Life: Black Life in the Time of Now, together with supporting augmented and virtual
reality features. This virtual art exhibition will feature four artists from the African Diaspora and is
being curated by Anthony Bogues of Brown University and the University of Johannesburg. This
Time of Now virtual exhibit project will feature art, film, augmented and virtual reality components,
spoken word, original music, and a digital art catalog.
Miami MoCAAD won a Knight Foundation grant to commission new work. Miami MoCAAD's World

Coral Gables will present new work by South Florida based visual artist, Marielle Plaisir,
together with a film supported by augmented and virtual reality. This innovative project will
include art and technology to virtually connect the Overtown and Coral Gables communities,
and a short film by Michael Anderson, documenting the process and its extended reality
features_
Both virtual art exhibit films, intended to excite and inspire audiences about African and Diaspora art,
will be produced by five -time Regional Emmy Award Winning filmmaker, Michael Anderson, a Miami
native. At both premieres, we will screen the film, offer augmented and extended reality experiences,
present a hybrid Creative Conversation with members of the team behind the exhibition. celebrate
Soul Basel 2023 with the film's spoken word artist, live music, food and a DJ. The virtual art exhibit is
being funded primarily by grants from the John L. and James S. Knight Foundation and the Andrew
W. Mellon Foundation, with support from Miami -Dade County.
The work that the CRA does in support of the Overtown community is critical, especially in these
difficult times of uncertainty. We believe this Soul Basel Kickoff Celebration and the premiere of
ARt Connecting Communities-Overtown and Coral Gables will highlight the CRA's support of

Project Proposal for Arts and Culture Funding and Budget Narrative, dated June 26, 2023
Introduction: Miami MoCAAD is at a critical point in its growth. We envision a hybrid brick -and -
mortar and virtual facility that incorporates cutting -edge technology. With funding support from
the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, matched funds from the Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation, Miami MoCAAD is completing the creation a five-year strategic plan encompassing
all of the steps of launching a hybrid museum. The museum will leverage technology to create a
platform that brings the contemporary art of Africa and its Diaspora to center stage, connects
people, and modernizes the museum experience. As Miami MoCAAD advances forward, we will
continue to present hybrid in -person and virtual exhibitions and public programs featuring art
that will provoke, touch the human spirit, show joy, beauty, triumph, challenges, sorrow, and
hope —and connect diverse people within and outside the African Diaspora, locally and globally.
Miami MoCAAD's 2023 Soul Basel Kickoff on Monday, December 4, will feature the premiere of
This Life: Black Life in the Time of Now. This virtual art exhibit will feature four artists from the
African Diaspora and is being curated by Anthony Bogues of Brown University and the
University of Johannesburg. The virtual art exhibit project will include art, film, augmented and
virtual reality components, spoken word, original music, and a digital catalog.
The December 2023, Soul Basel Kickoff premiere at The Urban in Overtown will present the film
of the virtual art exhibit, offer augmented and virtual reality experiences, and present a hybrid
Creative Conversation with the team behind the exhibition. The curatorial team will produce a
digital exhibition catalog with images of the art and information about the artists, curators, and
the ideas behind the project.
The March 2024 premiere of The Day I Heard the Sounds of the World: ARt Connecting
Communities-Overtown and Coral Gables at the Historic Lyric Theater in Overtown, Miami
MoCAAD will present the new artwork of Marielle Plaisir, a French -Caribbean multimedia artist
based in South Florida. Her artwork examines social domination, colonialism, race and class in
relation to African American and Caribbean experiences. The augmented and virtual reality
components of the project will have the artwork "embedded" in well-known locations in
Overtown and Coral Gables that relate to narrative aspects in the work. The user experience will
include a tour introducing the social histories of these sites, developed with consultation from
historian, Dr. Dorothy Fields, founder of the Black Archives, who will provide context for the
venues and connections between the two cities.
Both virtual exhibits and accompanying augmented reality experiences will be accessible and
free of charge via Miami MoCAAD's website. Extensive traditional and digital marketing will
ensure that both locals and visitors have broad awareness of Overtown's significance as a
cultural and entertainment destination. The production of the virtual exhibitions, film and
extended reality features have been largely funded by the John S. and James L. Knight
Foundation, Miami -Dade County and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
