2025 Art on the Plaza Artists
The Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami (MOCA) is pleased to announce the 2025 Art on the Plaza Artists: Avi Young, Nathan Justice Moyer, and Magnus Sodamin. As part of this annual public art initiative, each artist will debut a site-specific, temporary installation on MOCA’s front plaza throughout the year.
The 2025 installations will be presented sequentially, inviting visitors to explore themes of connection, community, and environmental awareness. Together, these works create a dialogue about relationships—between people, nature, and place—encouraging reflection on coexisting and interacting with our surroundings.
Opening in March, Bearing Bonds is a public art installation by queer Afro-Latinx artist Avi Young (b. 1999, they/them), celebrating cultural heritage and storytelling. Bearing Bonds symbolizes connection and collective healing, with figures’ outstretched hands reflecting the challenges of human connection and ceramic chimes serving as a metaphorical bridge, illustrating the possibility of communication even across separation. The installation will be on view through June.
Poetry on the Plaza by Nathan Justice Moyer (b. 1980, he/him) opens in July. This commission transforms discarded materials into art, emphasizing sustainability and reinvention. Through the Plastic Poetry program—developed with O, Miami and Free Plastic—the project engages the North Miami community in a poetry workshop and cleanup initiative. This work will be on view through September.
