The Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami is partnering with the Wolfsonian Public Humanities Lab at Florida International University to present a film and panel discussion in coordination with the exhibition “My Name is Maryan,” on view at MOCA until March 20, 2022. Strange Victory, Leo Hurwitz 1948 (1 hour 15 mins) will be the first of three screenings and panel discussions in this series designed to focus on the social and political issues as they relate to Maryan’s art. Described as a cry for equality and justice, Strange Victory is the first significant anti-racist U.S. documentary film highlighting historical and modern race-based inequities and injustices.

The program is funded in part through a Florida Humanities Community Project Grant in partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami.
