SUPREMACY PROJECT
On View June 16 – October 31, 2022
The Supremacy Project (SP) addresses the systemic oppression and violence BIPOC families and communities are fighting to end. Supremacy is the driving force behind the judicial, legislative, and executive inequities that we refuse to succumb to. This work serves as a reminder that our fiercest adversary is the system empowering those who violate us. Explore SP’s first floor takeover of MoCADA Abolition House.
Made possible thanks to The Ford Foundation, NYC’s Coalition for Theaters of Color, DYCD, and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
