Street artists have lived and created in Wynwood long before the neighborhood's recent gentrification. James Monk, better known as Ras Terms, has been painting murals in the area since the 1980s. Now the notable street artist and graffiti writer has a show at the Museum of Graffiti. The exhibit, appropriately titled "Ancient Futurism," focuses on the past and the future, themes Ras Terms incorporates into his work. Though the artist focuses on ancient traditions, he also embraces what's to come, as is seen in his nonfungible token (NFT), which will be launched the night before the opening and displayed at the exhibit. 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, at the Museum of Graffiti, 299 NW 25th St., Miami; 786-580-4678; museumofgraffiti.com.
