This summer, MoAD invites you to join us in weaving the fabric of our growing museum by participating in our exciting new interactive third-floor gallery exhibition Engage Your Heritage, July 3 – September 26. Featuring activities and events for the entire family.
We want to hear your voices and know your stories. What is your heritage? Take advantage of the I’ve Known Rivers installation, where we invite you to share your family’s stories with us. In addition, MoAD is offering you the opportunity to have your family narrative recorded for future use in up-coming installations. Recording sessions will take place Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday afternoons between 2:30 and 4:00 PM.
Also featured is the expanded Heritage Center, with family-friendly activities throughout the day. Every Thursday and Saturday afternoon, join us from 2:00-3:30 PM for family-friendly art projects. Wednesday and Friday afternoons all our younger visitors are invited to a storytelling event from 2:00-2:45, featuring a diverse array of storybooks from the Heritage Center Library (which also features fascinating books for all ages).
At the heart of this exciting new interactive exhibition is our African Film Series, featuring acclaimed works of cinema from over fifteen African countries. Every two weeks we will feature a series of three related films. Films “on demand” are available at our cozy two-person viewing stations, as well as a feature film showing in the main gallery. Showtimes are 11:45 AM, 1:45 PM, and 4:00 PM.
