For the third annual Nuit Blanche, the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art (MOCCA) will be opening its doors to provide an oasis of impressive installation, sculpture and photographic works in Dyed Roots: the new emergence of culture. MOCCA is physically located in a city whose population, in large part, points to other countries and cultures to describe itself. The soil beneath its structure is receptive to roots of multifarious origins. In Dyed Roots: the new emergence of culture, the intermingling of cultures is considered as a natural consequence of immigration and travel. The show’s title refers to intrinsic qualities that persist in spite of external influence and efforts made to conceal them. Dyed Roots: the new emergence of culture explores the ways in which a sense of identity can be cultivated and influenced.
