MOCA Contemporary Dialogue: “Censorship in South Florida and Beyond”

The Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami (MOCA) will host a discussion and lecture panel in conjunction with its summer exhibition Intersectionality. The panel will focus on censorship, the handling of exhibitions in public institutions, and the impacts on South Florida artists, with a tradition in western art of censorship from Michelangelo to Mapplethorpe.
