The clock is ticking on one of Miami’s most joyful public art installations. “Carrington Ware: Home Spun” closes this Sunday, October 11, at MOCA North Miami — your final chance to experience it before the flags come down.
Presented as part of MOCA’s Art on the Plaza program, Home Spun transforms the museum’s front plaza into a burst of color: a vibrant series of autobiographical textile flags flapping in the Miami breeze. Each flag is a love letter to Ware’s childhood in Georgia — from snapping peas on the porch with her grandmother to the lively energy of neighborhood fishing carnivals.
Born in 1993, Carrington Ware is a multidisciplinary artist who weaves Black narratives and storytelling through textiles, video, sound and installation. She earned her MFA from Florida International University in 2020 and splits her time between South Florida and North Georgia. Home Spun invites every visitor to pause and reconnect with the warmth of their own memories — family, community and care rendered in cloth.
The best part? It’s completely free and outdoors. Bring the kids, take a stroll, and catch this beautiful meditation on family before it sails away.
