The Fall River Museum of Contemporary Art (FR MoCA) has launched "Citadel," a group exhibition featuring nine international artists including Lydia Ourahmane and Kambel Smith. Curated by Cory John Scozzari, the show utilizes diverse media—from sculpture and video to performance—to explore themes of urban movement, geopolitical complexity, and the mechanisms of surveillance and control. The exhibition is set to run through July 19, 2026, with an opening reception and curator-led walkthroughs scheduled for April.
This exhibition highlights the growing influence of FR MoCA, a grassroots institution founded in 2020 to bridge the gap between the global contemporary art scene and the local Fall River community. By tackling sophisticated socio-political themes like border separation and currency exchange, the museum reinforces its mission to treat art as a vital social science. The show also underscores the institution's commitment to accessibility and regional education through its ongoing partnerships with local academic programs.
