A double feature film and immersive art experience

Miami-based choreographer and interdisciplinary artist Hattie Mae Williams premieres her latest work entitled Currents, a guided interactive happening that leads audiences through landscapes inspired by our relationship to the elements and the ways in which humankind’s actions have created divides between themselves and the cosmic realm.

At the center of the work are two new dance films, created in collaboration with Christian Salazar, that encourage audiences to examine and transform their connections to the elements and strategically survive while dreaming of a liberated new world. This double-feature film experience will transform the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami into the ethereal world of the subconscious where both isolated and communal reflections unfold through a series of rituals that take place within immersive installations.

This work will be available to experience free of charge at MOCA in the Paradise Courtyard and Pavilion Gallery from Wednesday, October 6-Sunday, October 10 during regular museum hours. A special viewing followed by a Q&A with the artist take place on Saturday, Oct. 9 from 3-5 pm.

While at the museum, the artist invites the public to view MOCA’s latest exhibit Michael Richards: Are You Down?, the first museum retrospective of his important work.  This event coincides with the final weekend of the MOCA exhibit and the museum will offer a $3 discounted admission to those attending Currents.
