The Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Art (MoCADA) celebrates the cultural breadth of Africa and its diaspora through a diverse range of exhibitions, public art, interactive learning, media, performances, music, and community-based interventions. Born in 1999, MoCADA was designed by our Founder Laurie Angela Cumbo as an equity model that centers art + culture as a conduit for revitalizing under-resourced Black neighborhoods, while simultaneously championing under-served artists from this community. Twenty-five years later, as Brooklyn's first and only museum dedicated to the creation and interpretation of contemporary Black arts and culture, MoCADA has grown from a grassroots organization into an internationally-recognized vehicle for social change. More than a museum, we are an arts incubator and a community bridge that transforms people and places near and far.
