ABOUT KEITH BURNSTEIN’S KETTLE BLACK

Keith Burnstein’s Kettle Black describes itself as “a quiet dance, a tiny explosion expanding exponentially; it is funky, heartfelt, and unmistakably New Orleans.” The brainchild of Keith Bernstein, alum of the Mumbles, along with members of Toubab Krewe and Antibalas, the band is a double percussion discussion that fans out the African and Cuban influences found in New Orleans music to create a new American songbook.

ABOUT UNDER THREE THINGS BY CRISTINA MOLINA

At select intervals throughout the run of the exhibition Ear to the Ground: Earth and Element in Contemporary Art, New Orleans-based artist Cristina Molina will host a series of intimate guided tours of the exhibition in which she will assume the perspective of the earth, personified.

ABOUT CONSIDERING CULTURAL EXCHANGE

Join us for a dynamic panel discussion with New Orleans creatives who will discuss expansive forms of cultural exchange, as well as more potentially adverse aspects of cultural appropriation. Featured speakers include Denise Augustine, Soraya Jean-Louis, Kristina Kay Robinson, Ti-Rock Moore, and Sallie Ann Glassman.

Friday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K. Worner Charitable Trust; New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and Foundation; and the Louisiana Division of the Arts, Office of Cultural Development, Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism, in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council.
