THIRD THURSDAYS | MOVE YOUR BODY: LIBERATION | KIKI BALL BLACK AUGUST & SOUTHERN GOTHIC FUTURES

This summer, Miami’s own Masisi Radio returns to The Bass for Move Your Body, a dynamic three-part summer residency that centers movement as a form of memory, imagination, and liberation, transforming the museum into a living site of sound, cinema, and performance.

Rooted in the legacy of the Black, queer, and trans communities who shaped disco, house, and global club culture, Move Your Body gathers artists, DJs, filmmakers, and performers in assume vivid astro focus: XI—a floor-to-ceiling installation that fuses sculpture, video, and design into a vibrant, participatory environment. Across three events, Masisi Radio explores how movement operates across dance floor, screen, and stage, reclaiming the museum space for collective embodied expression.

Join us on August 20 for Move Your Body: Liberation Kiki Ball. Closing the residency, Masisi Radio presents a kiki ball inspired by the legacy of Black August and Southern Black Gothic aesthetics. Rooted in ballroom culture and informed by Haitian and Creole diasporic lineages, this event transforms the museum into a space of performance, resistance, and radical self-expression.

Complimentary admission with RSVP. Limited seated based on first-come, first-served.
