Someday You Could Be...Amy Andrieux, MoCADA's Executive Director and Chief Curator!
What’s it like to work at a museum? What obstacles does someone with a big job face? Why is it important to make monuments of real people who are alive right now? What is some advice for kids who love to draw and want to be an artist someday?
IndyKids reporter Noel interviews Amy Andrieux, the chief curator and executive director of MoCADA, the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts.
Amy talks about the many jobs she’s had in her life, and about MoCADA and its role within the community. She takes us on a mini tour of Kholisile Mazithulela Mufari Dhliwayo’s Brooklyn Bronzes, which can be found in the MoCADA Ubuntu Garden in Brooklyn, NY, and gives advice to young artists.
BONUS: Listen to the end to find out what Noel and Amy’s favorite anime is!
