Are you in for some art? The Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (MOCAA), located in Cape Town at the historic V&A Waterfront, is one of Africa’s premier art institutions dedicated to showcasing contemporary African art. Housed in a transformed grain silo complex, the museum features a stunning architectural design by Thomas Heatherwick, blending modern aesthetics with the building’s industrial heritage. MOCAA boasts an extensive collection of works by some of the continent’s leading artists, encompassing a variety of mediums, including painting, sculpture, photography, video, and installation art.
The museum aims to amplify African voices and perspectives, offering a platform for both established and emerging artists from across the continent. In addition to its permanent collection, the museum hosts a dynamic program of temporary exhibitions, performances, and educational initiatives, making it a vibrant cultural hub. With its innovative approach to art and its commitment to representing the diversity of African creative expression, MOCAA is an essential destination for art lovers and anyone interested in exploring the rich and evolving contemporary art scene of Africa. While I was there it was exhibiting artworks on the resistance movements of Nicaragua and Chile.
