The Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami (MOCA) is pleased to present the exhibition “Michael Richards: Are You Down?” ― the first museum retrospective of the work of Michael Richards, an Afro-Caribbean artist whose sculptural and drawing practice reflects on issues of racial inequity, anti-blackness, and diasporic identity. Richards passed away in the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks while working in his Lower Manhattan Cultural Council World Views studio, located on the 92nd floor of World Trade Center Tower One. The exhibition will be on view from April 21 through Oct. 10, 2021, running through the 20th anniversary of 9/11.
