We had an amazing time creating origami with featured artist Miya Turnbull!
 
Inspired by her “Self-Portrait Masks” (2021-2025) featured in “Like everything alive that we try to hold forever,” Turnbull led visitors in creating their own self-portrait origami. Participants learned how to create a heart, a butterfly, a cube, a frog, and a fortune teller.  
 
Turnbull’s “Self-Portrait Masks” and “Origami Self-Portraits” will be on view with the rest of “Like everything alive that we try to hold forever” at MoFA until June 27.   
 
“Like everything alive that we try to hold forever” is a traveling exhibition curated by Elizabeth Diggon (), Naomi Potter (), and Shauna Thompson (), organized by Esker Foundation, and produced by Independent Curators International. Learn more and .

Come check out our newest installation on the Magnezine. FSU’s Museum Education class, led by Professor Fatma Zaid, installed their project “Making Memory Collages: Reimagining Everyday Objects.”

We are officially one week out from our Artist Workshop: Miya Turnbull’s Self-Portrait Origami, on May 14 at 5:30pm. Space is limited, and registration is required. Please visit our linkin.bio for registration instructions. Read more about the workshop below. See you there!

“This participatory Origami workshop uses paper printed with my own self-portrait. Initially, my facial features appear fragmented across the flat surface of the paper, but as folds accumulate, the image shifts, becoming alternately obscured, reconfigured, and unexpectedly coherent. Participants will actively shape the portrait into several different traditional designs, some of which are interactive, emphasizing identity as something formed through gesture, pressure, and process rather than fixed representation.

By combining Origami designs with self-portrait imagery, the workshop introduces themes of repetition, transformation, and multiplicity that are central to my broader mask-making practice and connects to my Japanese Canadian heritage. Rooted in play and ritual, the activity invites participants to engage with identity through material interaction and spatial manipulation, foregrounding touch, movement, and making as forms of self-expression beyond realism.

The workshop will be hands-on and guided step by step in a small group, so no prior Origami experience is necessary. The Origami designs that you fold can be seen in the current exhibition “Like everything alive that we try to hold forever”, and will be yours to keep!” - Miya Turnbull

We had a wonderful time hosting our series of workshops, facilitated by six of the current graduating MFA students featured at MoFA in their thesis exhibition “Decentered Reframed.”

Special thanks to Hannah Glaser, Ysabel Flores, Kea Kamiya, Kelicia Parker, Moey Hewitt, and Amarachi Odimba for leading their inspiring workshops. Swipe to see fun moments from this program!

There’s still time to see “Decentered Reframed,” which will be on view until May 2, 2026. Come by for drop-in tours from 10am to 4pm today!

MoFA presents “Decentered Reframed”, featuring the work of the ten graduating MFA studio art students from the College of Fine Arts. The exhibition will be on display until this Saturday, May 2! Stop by the museum Thursday, 4/30, through Saturday, 5/2, for a drop-in tour with one of our staff members.

We sat down with each artist to reflect on their practice, their time in the program, and what’s next.
We’re continuing our interview series with Jay Yue. Yue’s work “The Administration of Erasure” explores the friction of cultural dislocation and challenges the social systems that function as tools of control. Through ceramic installation and the visual language of the American Southern face jug, Yue creates figures that act as social characters and reflect the processing and quantification of bodies. Yue’s characters reveal the systematic stripping of identity that is intertw**ed with contemporary immigrant experiences.

Full interviews will be available soon on the “Student Voices” page of MoFA’s website or via the link in our bio. “Decentered Reframed” will be on view until May 2. Come by and experience the work of these incredible grads!

We’re continuing our interview series with J Woltz. In “Theatre of Consumption,” Woltz constructs immersive videos and environments that create an artificial stage where rituals of power, etiquette, and consumption are performed until the systems themselves begin to collapse. Drag, puppetry, and theatrical installation intertw**e to examine the performance of social power, exposing forced consumption as a means of surveillance and control.
