Reflect on the journeys that connect us with filmmaker Richard Moreno. 🎥

As part of In Motion at NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale, Moreno shared Statisis, a film centered on a functional boat once used to traverse Biscayne Bay and carry the bodies of close friends of immigrants. After its final voyage, the canoe was gutted and transformed into a gathering place and shelter, where local musicians began performing intimate sets for the public.

Through this transformation, Statisis becomes a reflection on risk, migration, faith and the ways objects can take on new meaning within a community—evolving from a vessel of passage into a space for connection and collective ritual.

Moreno's work was presented during In Motion: Close to Home — Short Film Screening, curated by Sinai Rivera, Guest Curator.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this meaningful evening of film and conversation.
