This fall, MOAD Projects will feature an artist residency with Ema Ri at Miami Dade College’s Padrón Campus. Ema Ri will use the campus’s newly renovated gallery to make new work and engage with students and the public during open studio hours, where visitors will be able to interact with and observe the artist at work.

Ema Ri is a noted mixed media artist in Miami, whose work is informed by languages of abstraction and explorations of materiality. Influenced by personal experiences, Ema Ri examines themes of displacement and deconstruction.

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’s programming.
