Influenced by issues of police and governmental violence, traumatic events such as Hurricane Katrina and the exploitation of people throughout the world, Welcome to America includes engaging multi-media installations, sculptures and videos.  The exhibition was designed to address critical topics that have been
marginalized within popular discourse and to bring these issues to the forefront of dialogue, debate and discussion.



Dread Scott Dread Scott makes revolutionary art to propel history forward. He first received national attention in 1989 when his art became the center of controversy over its use of the American flag. President Bush(I) declared his artwork "What is the Proper Way to Display a U.S. Flag?"“disgraceful” and the entire US Senate denounced this work when they passed legislation to “protect the flag.” As part of the popular effort to oppose moves to make patriotism compulsory, he, along with three other protesters, burned flags on the steps of the US Capitol. This resulted in a Supreme Court case and a landmark First Amendment decision.

It seems like this is right on time.  MoCada is located Downtown Brooklyn near BAM and this exhibit runs through June 1st.  Here%sq243%s a little history lesson on the real Dred Scott
