Community Voices: Octavia Yearwood and Kandy Lopez-Moreno at ART LIT 2022

Presented by NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale at NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale

NSU Art Museum is partnering with various community organizations including the Broward County Public Library System to host a variety of workshops as part of the Community Voices Series, NSU Art Museum’s new initiative supported by the Community Foundation of Broward, that focuses on exploring social and racial inequalities and challenging social structures, including representation in museums.

ArtLit is the official opening celebration of Broward County Library’s “NEA Big Read 2022”, which features the graphic novel, The Best We Could Do: An Illustrated Memoir by award-winning author, Thi Bui. Powerhouse motivational speaker, Octavia Yearwood will lead an interactive discussion based on migration and how to identify with the notion of ‘home’. Visual Artist and Professor, Kandy Lopez-Moreno will host a workshop for teens and adults where she will demonstrate a monotype printing technique used to convey messaging and imagery. Participants will have the opportunity to create their own artwork using the same method.
