To nourish is to provide the food that is necessary for growth and health. It also means to listen, care and support one another. Virginia MOCA will debut newly created artworks in the "Nourish" exhibition, which opens Feb. 11. The museum commissioned 12 artists and partnered them with people in local food-connected industries or organizations including farmers, chefs, nutritionists, food justice and anti-hunger advocates. They provided a unique insight into the food culture of our region and were the inspiration for the commissioned work on view. The exhibition and related educational programming encourage people to forge new connections with each other and to gain a greater understanding of the challenges of filling our plates.

.-Sabrina Amrani is presenting FloodZone, Anastasia Samoylovas first exhibition in Spain. The title of the show is borrowed from her eponymous project started in 2016, a photographic series in which the artist seeks to respond to the environmental changes on coastal cities of South Florida.
The project is built upon a set of interrelated paradoxes: the seductive and destructive dissonance between the official iconography of the region, comprised by tourist and real estate advertising, and the stark daily realities of climate change; the ways of landscape and the sense of place are at once natural and constructed; and the way photography both records and crafts perception.
