Continuum: MoAD Over Time | Museum of the African Diaspora
Continuum: MoAD Over Time is a landmark exhibition marking the 20th anniversary of the Museum of the African Diaspora. More than a retrospective, Continuum introduces MoAD’s next frontier, showing how the museum has been both foundational to the Bay Area’s cultural landscape and an increasingly vital global venue for art of the African Diaspora.
