Museum of Contemporary African Diasporian Arts, Inc.

The Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts (MoCADA) will research, design, and implement Digital MoCADA, a multimedia initiative intended to increase access to and understanding of black contemporary art and its social and political context for all of its audiences, regardless of ability, location, or educational background. The three-year project will result in interpretive audio tools for people with disabilities, with an emphasis on blind visitors; video companions to exhibitions, including curatorial context, artist interviews, and interpretation of key works; in-gallery supplementary academic and data-driven digital content related to key works; and exhibition-related digital programming available online. Digital MoCADA will enable the museum to better serve its audience through online programming, while responding to two key community needs to provide additional interpretive materials with exhibitions and to build a tighter connection between the visual arts and relevant social justice issues.
