Join MOAD and Artists in Residence in Everglades (AIRIE) for a very special evening featuring artist and architect Germane Barnes and special guests, interdisciplinary artist and designer Cornelius Tulloch and consulting curator Isabela Villanueva.

The event's location adds an extra-special touch to the evening, taking place adjacent to MOAD's pavilion Ukhamba, designed by Barnes, as he reflects upon what inspired it, the artistic process of its creation, and its place in the environment.

Barnes will also reflect on his time in residency at Everglades National Park and share an intimate look at his practice, process, and month-long stay in the Florida Everglades while in conversation with Tulloch and Villaneuva.

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, Department of State, Division of Arts and Culture, the Florida Council on Arts and Culture, and the National Endowment for the Arts. The Miami Herald is a media sponsor of MOAD programming.

Artists in Residence in Everglades (AIRIE) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit operating in Everglades National Park (ENP) and the Greater Miami Area. AIRIE empowers artists to think creatively and critically about their relationship to the environment with a mission of revealing new narratives and solutions for social and environmental change. AIRIE immersive residency program provides artists an opportunity to live, research, and create inside Everglades National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site currently listed as in danger of disappearing forever.

Through a gallery space and programming, AIRIE explores the intersection of arts and the environment with social and racial justice for a more sustainable and equitable future. Since 2001 AIRIE has supported over 200 artists, writers, musicians, curators, and creatives through full immersion within the national park and the Miami art scene.
