FSU MoFA’s newest exhibit focuses on critical environmental issue plaguing the gulf
Florida State University’s Museum of Fine Arts (MoFA) and the Winthrop-King Institute for Contemporary French and Francophone Studies present a new exhibition examining the spread of sargassum seaweed in Florida and the Caribbean through the lens of art and science.
“HOMO SARGASSUM” will be on display Sept. 9 through March 8, 2025, at MoFA, with an opening reception from 6-8 p.m. Sept. 12. An opening symposium Sept. 26 and 27 will bring together artists, scientists and scholars from around the world to explore the phenomenon of sargassum in the Circum-Caribbean, and how a broad range of artists have been engaged with it in their work.
“This exhibit tells the story of ecosystems caught in peril and transformation through the lens of seaweed migration,” said Kaylee Spencer, director of MoFA. “By using the movement of sargassum as a metaphor, these artists explore how this ecological issue relates to a wide variety of social and historic issues.”
