A conversation about legacy in a room full of women shaping what comes next. As we celebrate 30 years, this season’s Conversations at MOCA featured curators Laura Novoa, Kimari Jackson, and Catherine Camargo, with Amanda Sanfilippo Long guiding a discussion about leadership, curatorial practice, and staying connected to the creative communities of South Florida. Thank you to our panelists for sharing their perspectives, and to everyone who joined the conversation, asked questions, and brought such warmth to the room. We’re grateful for the women whose vision has shaped MOCA’s history and for those carrying that work forward.
