Museum Hue _ Colorful. Cultured. Cool

06/15/2026

Museum Hue started the month with our first road trip for our HueArts docuseries. Our first stop was Philadelphia to meet the team at Al-Bustan Seeds of Culture to meet Alaa Zaghloul, the Marketing and Communications Manager, and Ibrahim Bakri, VP of the Board of Directors. This organization uses Arab arts, language, and culture to connect and showcase the Arab American community. They recently moved to a gorgeous converted warehouse, where they host art exhibitions, language classes, and hands-on workshops.

The next day, we took a short drive south to Wilmington, Delaware to visit the Mitchell Center for African American Heritage. We spoke with the center's Director, Hannah Grantham, along with Ivan Henderson, the Executive Director of the Delaware Historical Society. The Mitchell Center traces the history and contributions of black Delawareans from the 1630s to today. It's located in a former Woolworth's; the former department store had locations nationwide and was a key battleground in the fight to end segregation. The museum’s large display windows had an array of Juneteenth decorations on view.

It was a pleasure learning about both of these institutions and their focus on actively engaging with the communities they serve.

The HueArts docuseries was born out of our HueArts & Cultures report. Many Hue Museums and Cultural Centers cite a lack of recent, professional photos and videos of their collections and programming as a major challenge. Without these assets, marketing, communications, and grant applications become even more difficult.

To address this gap and bring more attention to the amazing work of these institutions, Museum Hue launched our HueArts docuseries. In addition to interviews with museum leaders, we're documenting their spaces through photographs. Each organization will receive the photographs and footage we capture and are free to use them as they see fit.

This season, we're expanding our reach and visiting organizations throughout the Northeast. And what better place to start than New York City, where the HueArts research project began. We kicked off filming at two institutions that have been longtime champions of Museum Hue: the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts (MoCADA) and Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute (CCCADI).

These images by Matt Stanley capture the warmth, joy, and powerful conversations Stephanie had with Amy Andrieux of MoCADA and Melody Capote and Lumumba Bandele of CCCADI.

During Museum Hue's recent visit to the Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute in Harlem, we had the opportunity to speak with Melody Capote, the center's Executive Director. She gave us insight into CCCADI's goal of connecting all people of African descent and what she's learned from diving into their archives in celebration of their 50th anniversary.

Keep watching to find out which track she chose as the organization's theme song! And stay tuned for new conversations with museum leaders each Huesday!

This May, we celebrate Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage month. Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have long contributed to the history, arts, and culture in the United States.

We were honored to speak with Robert Lee, co-founder of the Asian American Arts Centre in New York City, as part of the HueArts & Cultures: Northeast report. In a time where colorblindness was encouraged, AAAC boldly claimed space for Asian American artists, showcasing their work in countless shows since the 1970s.
