MoCADA

The Muse­um of Con­tem­po­rary African Dias­po­ran Arts (MoCA­DA) uses the visu­al and per­form­ing arts as a point of depar­ture for explor­ing new artis­tic pro­duc­tion across a vari­ety of dis­ci­plines. Through exhi­bi­tions, com­mu­ni­ty pro­gram­ming and edu­ca­tion­al ini­tia­tives cen­tered in social jus­tice, MoCA­DA incites dia­logue on press­ing social and polit­i­cal issues fac­ing the African Dias­po­ra and fos­ters a dynam­ic space for the cre­ation and con­tin­u­ous evo­lu­tion of culture.

On Gov­er­nors Island, MoCA­DA Abo­li­tion House will present The M’Dear Project, a mul­ti­me­dia exhi­bi­tion fea­tur­ing ris­ing women-iden­ti­­fied artists that hon­ors the pow­er of the ever-present fem­i­nine prin­ci­ple cen­tered promi­nent­ly through­out the African dias­po­ra, and the Ban­dung Res­i­den­cy, a res­i­den­cy pro­gram pre­sent­ed by the Asian Amer­i­can Arts Alliance (A4) in col­lab­o­ra­tion with MoCA­DA designed to uplift the work of orga­niz­ers, artists, and edu­ca­tors whose prac­tice is intend­ed to fos­ter sol­i­dar­i­ty between Asian American/​Pacific Islander (AAPI) and Black communities.
