The Museum of African Diaspora / MoAD in San Francisco, CA has reopened. (The Museum has been closed since March 2020 due to Covid – 19.)
“Founded in 2005, MoAD is a self-described contemporary art museum that celebrates black culture. It’s one of the few prominent institutions in the country dedicated to black art”.
All visits, tours, and events had been postponed or canceled. But there was a successful online auction – “important to invest in the sustainability of the institution.”
Some of the participating artists:
Otis Kwame Kye Oquaicoe, Amoako Boafo, Manuel Mathieu, Ferrari Sheppard, Wangari Mathenge, Andrea Chung, Cassi Namoda, William Cordova, Purvis Young, Adia Millett, Lava Thomas, Didier William, Raelis Vasquez, Dewey Crumpler, Wesaam Al-Badry, Enrico Riley, Alexandria Smith, Tiffany Alfonseca, February James, Whitfield Lovell, Peter Uka, Kwame Brathwaite, Ludovic Nkoth, Jerrell Gibbs, Dominic Chambers, Clotilde Jiménez, Todd Gray, Rashaad
