Brooklyn, New York. The Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts (MoCADA) is proud to present the highly anticipated international exhibition entitled, "Saying No: Reconciling Spirituality and Resistance in Indigenous Australian Art", curated by Bindi Cole, on view until October 30th. This is the first international group exhibition of this kind to debut in New York City and the United States. The show will feature an array of works in a variety of media from a group of contemporary, indigenous, Australian-based artists. The word “No” does not exist in the majority of the over 200 Australian Aboriginal languages, and where it does exist, this powerful word is reserved for the elders and is used with great care and ceremony.
