Inviting us to understand disability as a common experience rather than an exception to the norm\, the program highlights a range of experiences spanning HIV\, COVID\, mental health\, and aging. The commissioned artists foreground the knowledge and expertise of disabled and sick people in a world still grappling with multiple ongoing pandemics. Visual AIDS is a New York-based non-profit that utilizes art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue\, supporting HIV+ artists\, and preserving a legacy\, because AIDS is not over. \nFree with museum admission. When you arrive at NOMA\, check in at the front desk for directions. \nGet Tickets \nABOUT THE FILMS\nDolissa Medina and Ananias P. Soria\, Viejito/Enfermito/Grito (Old Man/Sick Man/Shout)\nAnanias\, a San Francisco Bay Area artist and immigrant\, performs the folkloric Danza de los Viejitos (the Dance of the Old Men). Originally from Michoacán\, Mexico\, where the dance originates\, Ananias interprets its movements through the lens of his spirituality\, his long-term HIV-related disabilities\, and his search for a place in the world. \nDorothy Cheung\, Heart Murmurs\nHeart Murmurs is a poetic dialogue between the filmmaker and Dean\, a young man living in Hong Kong. In reflecting on his experience living with a congenital disability and HIV during the first years of the COVID pandemic\, Dean expresses his sense of self in the face of regular medical challenges. \nBeau Gomez\, This Bed I Made\nThis Bed I Made presents the bed as a place of solace and agency beyond just a site of illness or isolation. Through the shared stories of two Filipino men living with HIV\, the video explores modes of care\, restoration\, and abundance in the midst of pandemic pervasion. \nKurt Weston\, Losing the Light\nLosing the Light reflects the artist’s bitter battle to stay in this world as a long-term survivor of AIDS who has lost his vision to CMV retinitis. An experimental self-portrait\, the video evokes the dissolution and fragmentation of the artist’s body\, representing the impact of blindness\, long-term HIV infection\, and the cumulative effects of decades of antiretroviral medication. \nLili Nascimento and Hiura Fernandes\, Aquela criança com AID$ (That Child with AID$)\nThat Child with AID$ tells the story of Brazilian advocate and artist Lili Nascimento\, who was born with HIV in 1990. Lili has worked to expand narratives about living with HIV beyond the limited images and ideologies that permeate the AIDS industry. \n\nABOUT VISUAL AIDS\nVisual AIDS is a New York-based non-profit that utilizes art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue\, supporting HIV+ artists\, and preserving a legacy\, because AIDS is not over. \nLEARN MORE \n\nEducation and outreach initiatives at NOMA are supported in part by The Gayle and Tom Benson Foundation; the Lois and Lloyd Hawkins Jr. Foundation; The Helis Foundation; The City of New Orleans; First Horizon; Janice Parmelee and Bill Hammack; Sara and David Kelso; Patrick F.

The film\, based on the book of the same name by Jason Berry\, explores New Orleans’s jazz funerals and second lines. \nREGISTER NOW \n\nAbout the Film\nFamous the world over\, jazz funerals have origins shrouded in mystery. Filmed over twenty-two years\, City of a Million Dreams explores race relations at a tearing time in American society. Burial traditions train a lens on the unique and resilient culture of New Orleans. City of a Million Dreams draws from the 2018 book of the same title by Jason Berry. \nDeb Cotton\, an African American and observant Jew\, leaves “hard-hearted Hollywood” for New Orleans\, and becomes a chronicler of the parading clubs spawned by 19th century burial societies. Her zeal for the city grows as she becomes a blogger for Gambit Weekly\, adopting the handle “Big Red Cotton.” As Deb explores her adopted culture\, Dr. Michael White\, a prolific clarinetist and New Orleans native\, plays “the widow’s wail” on his clarinet\, a cry of lamentation in the funeral marches. \nWhite’s transcendent music also includes joyous peals for the soul’s cutting-loose\, which happens when the band leaves the cemetery\, followed by dancers in what New Orleanians call “the second line.” Risen in the ranks of brass bands\, White\, too\, is on a journey of self-discovery\, seeking clues about his ancestor who played at the dawn of jazz. White says of jazz funerals: “For someone dealing with American racism and trying to figure out your place in this life…you can be transformed into another world that really sets you free.” \nLearn More \n\n                          \nEducation and outreach initiatives at NOMA are supported in part by The Gayle and Tom Benson Foundation; the Lois and Lloyd Hawkins Jr. Foundation; The Helis Foundation; The City of New Orleans; First Horizon; Janice Parmelee and Bill Hammack; Sara and David Kelso; Patrick F.

The film\, based on the book of the same name by Jason Berry\, explores New Orleans’s jazz funerals and second lines. \nFollowing the film screening\, attendees will have the opportunity to hear from the filmmakers and ask questions during a panel discussion. \nFree with museum admission. \nGet Tickets Now \n\nAbout the Film\nFamous the world over\, jazz funerals have origins shrouded in mystery. Filmed over twenty-two years\, City of a Million Dreams explores race relations at a tearing time in American society. Burial traditions train a lens on the unique and resilient culture of New Orleans. City of a Million Dreams draws from the 2018 book of the same title by Jason Berry. \nDeb Cotton\, an African American and observant Jew\, leaves “hard-hearted Hollywood” for New Orleans\, and becomes a chronicler of the parading clubs spawned by 19th century burial societies. Her zeal for the city grows as she becomes a blogger for Gambit Weekly\, adopting the handle “Big Red Cotton.” As Deb explores her adopted culture\, Dr. Michael White\, a prolific clarinetist and New Orleans native\, plays “the widow’s wail” on his clarinet\, a cry of lamentation in the funeral marches. \nWhite’s transcendent music also includes joyous peals for the soul’s cutting-loose\, which happens when the band leaves the cemetery\, followed by dancers in what New Orleanians call “the second line.” Risen in the ranks of brass bands\, White\, too\, is on a journey of self-discovery\, seeking clues about his ancestor who played at the dawn of jazz. White says of jazz funerals: “For someone dealing with American racism and trying to figure out your place in this life…you can be transformed into another world that really sets you free.” \nLearn More \n\n                          \nEducation and outreach initiatives at NOMA are supported in part by The Gayle and Tom Benson Foundation; the Lois and Lloyd Hawkins Jr. Foundation; The Helis Foundation; The City of New Orleans; First Horizon; Janice Parmelee and Bill Hammack; Sara and David Kelso; Patrick F.

The fluidity of the marshlands that grow from sediment brought by the Mississippi from the north\, and the human interactions that change the course of that natural process\, are a constant reminder of our presence in—and impact upon—the area. Fragmented Landscapes/Beyond Acadia presents films that focus on landscapes—films that present the landscape as a way to communicate ideas about representation\, where the medium of film is the key to examining the landscape in relation to political histories. The films presented in Fragmented Landscapes/Beyond Acadia are linked to human interference\, painful pasts\, and the rule of law. \nABOUT MAAIKE GOUWENBERG\nMaaike Gouwenberg is a curator and producer working between Europe and the US. Since 2017 she is affiliated with Performa\, co-director of Deltaworkers international residency program in New Orleans\, and she is part of the mid-length committee at International Film Festival Rotterdam.

The film follows the students from their auditions on through senior year with the hard knocks and victories of lives dedicated to their craft. Fame garnered awards and nominations in a variety of categories\, with particular praise for its title song performed by Irene Cara. It received four Golden Globe Award nominations\, including Best Motion Picture\, Best Actress – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy (Cara)\, and Best Original Score (Michael Gore). The film only won one award for Best Original Song (“Fame”). Fame was the last musical film to be produced by MGM\, before the studio merged with United Artists in 1981. The film has been credited with revitalizing the teen musical subgenre by adding dramatic elements into its story\, echoing 1950s melodramas. Its presentation of musical numbers in the style of a music video was a major influence on other 1980s films in the dance film genre URL:https://nomastaging.org/event/artists-choice-film-series/ CATEGORIES:Films ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nomastaging.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/91MwLVv3xYL._RI_.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20190914T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20190914T160000 DTSTAMP:20260520T052628 CREATED:20190524T174948Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190724T170856Z UID:45879-1568469600-1568476800@nomastaging.org SUMMARY:Artist's Choice Film Series: Whatever Lola Wants DESCRIPTION:Bodies of Knowledge brings together ten international contemporary artists to reflect on the role that language plays in archiving and asserting our cultural identities.

Constructed almost entirely from still photos\, it tells the story of a post-nuclear war experiment in time travel. \nA man (Davos Hanich) is a prisoner in the aftermath of World War III in post-apocalyptic Paris\, where survivors live underground in the Palais de Chaillot galleries. Scientists research time travel hoping to send test subjects to different time periods “to call past and future to the rescue of the present”. They have difficulty finding subjects who can mentally withstand the shock of time travel. The scientists eventually settle upon the prisoner; his key to the past is a vague but obsessive memory from his pre-war childhood of a woman he had seen on the observation platform (“the jetty”) at Orly Airport shortly before witnessing a startling incident there. He did not understand exactly what happened\, but knew he had seen a man die. \nAfter several attempts\, he reaches the pre-war period. He meets the woman from his memory\, and they develop a romantic relationship. After his successful passages to the past\, the experimenters attempt to send him into the far future. In a brief meeting with the technologically advanced people of the future\, he is given a power unit sufficient to regenerate his own destroyed society\, but the movie takes an unexpected turn that prevents this rebuilding of the future.
