Migrantes Hasta la Libertad (“Immigrants to Freedom”) is planned to open at MOCHA in 2017 and is projected to travel. This exhibit will be a tribute to the gifts of immigrant Americans (specifically Latino, Caribbean African, Middle Eastern and Asian American, Georgian and Ex-Soviets) to the great American Dream of freedom. Migrantes is presented through MOCHA in loving memory of Dr. Norton Townshend Dodge, patron and mentor to so many.  (See sampling below.

Homenaje al-Andalus (“Homage to al-Andalus”) is a celebration of the music, poetry, art, architecture, science, medicine and spiritual wealth of Christian, Basque, Sephardi Jewish and Muslim Spain (c. 826-1520 a.d.) and is tentatively planned to open at MOCHA in 2018 and is projected to travel.  The exhibit will include concerts by The Voice of the Turtle (Sefardi songs with Moorish instruments), poetry written by Muslim and Jewish poets (902-1280 a.d.) and by Federico García Lorca and others, plus film, video and workshops.

MOCHA will also host exhibitions from other museums and, in the future, will extend art exhibit tours internationally.
