"New Exhibit at MoCADA Tackles Gentrifictaion,"
By Meredith Deliso - Courier-Life Publications
Gentrification in Brooklyn is like a topic you shouldn’t bring up at dinner.
For their next exhibition, the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts (MoCADA) confronts the issue right head-on with “The Gentrification of Brooklyn: The Pink Elephant Speaks.”
Through the works of over 20 different artists in nearly as many mediums, the issue is broken down into its conglomerates – real estate development, eminent domain, class issues related to income and housing – through literal and abstract explorations in photography, painting, video, sculpture, poetry and music.
