The diverse and bilingual ArteFuturo Ensemble perform a visually dynamic show with moving stories that offer a parallel between Latino immigrants dehumanized as “illegal aliens”\, and the historical struggle of African Americans with a national crisis of police shootings of unarmed black civilians. \n\nLed by award-winning performance artist José Torres-Tama\, the ensemble includes Monica “Spirit” McIntyre\, Cristina “Latina Siren” Maria Blanco\, Roberto “Mex-Andino” Carrillo\, and features Darius and Diego Torres-Copeland\, singers and performers.

The opera\, with music by New Orleans’ jazz musician and composer Terence Blanchard\, is based on the life of professional boxer Emile Griffith\, a three-time World Welterweight Champion and twice a World Middleweight Champion who fought from the late 1950s into the 1970s. One of Griffith’s greatest professional triumphs—winning back the Welterweight Championship from Benny “The Kid” Paret in 1962—was also one of his greatest personal tragedies. The seventeen punches he landed on Paret in seven seconds resulted in not only a knockout\, but also a coma from which Paret would never recover. Paret would die ten days later. \nBefore that life-changing televised fight\, in a room full of press and officials\, Paret mocked Griffith repeatedly with a derogatory term for homosexual. Years later\, Griffith’s sexuality as a gay man was revealed to the public after he was nearly killed by a gang outside a gay bar in New York. “I kill a man\,” Griffith was quoted to have said\, “and most people understand and forgive me. I love a man\, and to so many people this is an unforgivable sin.” In an inspiring\, moving\, and painful journey of self-discovery\, Champion presents audiences with a great contemporary tragic hero—a man of strength and courage consumed ultimately by rage\, regret\, and the terrible consequences of his actions. \nABOUT FASHION ON FILM: THE LEGACY OF ALEXANDER McQUEEN\nIn conjunction with A Queen Within: Adorned Archetypes\, NOMA will screen five documentaries related to the fashion industry. Alexander McQueen (1969–2010) is among the designers represented in the exhibition. The Legacy of Alexander McQueen\, directed by Loïc Print\,  chronicles the last four collections before McQueen’s suicide in 2010. Through footage of his spectacular and provocative shows\, never-before-seen interviews of his mother and his relatives\, the documentary sheds light on the stunning world and the inspirations/obsessions of the world-renowned designer.

He has worked with master potter Jimmy Anderson and his son Peter Jr. in the preservation of the life and work of their forefather\, Peter Anderson of Ocean Springs\, Mississippi. O’Keefe has worked for the George Ohr Museum’s “Mud Daubers” arts camp and has also taught wheel-thrown and hand-built ceramics in many other studios. His work has been shown at the Museum of Art in Hattiesburg and the Andrew Jessup Gallery in Biloxi. In September of 2005 he was in the last stages of preparation for a large private installation at The University of Southern Mississippi Gulf Park Campus Library when Hurricane Katrina destroyed the campus and damaged this body of work. This show and samplings of his work can be seen at KevinJohnOKeefe.com. After regrouping with the help of The Mississippi Arts Commission\, O’Keefe began refining undeveloped and unconventional techniques using salt. These works were promoted in various galleries on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and in New Orleans. Beyond ceramics\, O’Keefe’s fresh\, creative talent has led to a wide variety of projects\, including artistic designs for a Mississippi manufacturer of drum sticks\, graphic design of covers for several books and bibles\, and logos and marketing packages for several businesses. \nABOUT ODILI DONALD ODITA\nOdili Donald Odita is an African American abstract painter who lives and works in Philadelphia. Odita’s work explores color both in the figurative historical context and in the sociopolitical sense. His vibrant large-scale abstractions have been described as “showstoppers” and are considered to raise questions about race and society. Most of Odita’s work is inspired by the vibrant textiles of his home country\, Nigeria mixed with patterns from Western modernity. His Forever mural\, commissioned in 2011\, fills an entire wall in NOMA’s elevator lobby on the first floor. For Prospect.4\, he has created brightly multicolored flags installed at places of “cultural\, racial and historical importance” around the city\, and more of his work is on view aboard the Algiers ferry. \nOdita is primarily a painter\, but also works in photo-based pieces and installation art. He has experimented with a variety of media\, but his works since the 1990s are often large-scale paintings on canvas and Plexiglass. He sometimes paints directly on walls to alter the perception of space. Often involving “complex interlocking geometries and contrasting hues\,” his works are seen as raising significant questions about race and society. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

John Bullard Collection\n7 – 8:30 pm: Drawings in Clay: Sgraffito Technique Workshop with Rachael DePauw\n\nABOUT SHAWN WILLIAMS\nNew Orleans’ pioneering voice in “alt-rock countrybilly serial-killer blues\,” Shawn Williams describes her sound as that “of a dirtier-minded Elvis deciding to get it on in the back of some roadhouse saloon with one of those sad-eyed cowboy types that would rather be drinking alone.” \nAn accomplished career in radio has taken her from Atlanta to New York City and back to her hometown of New Orleans\, where she marked success as the former programming director for two of the city’s largest radio stations (NASH FM 92.3 and 106.1 The Underground)\, all the while managing to maintain the schedule required of a young bandleader in a vibrant night town. \nHer debut album Shadow (2017) is a skillfully-mastered collection of originals that moves seamlessly from old-school R&B-inflected rockers to softer\, wistful numbers. On recording as in live performance\, she conveys a sense of rawness\, a depth of feeling\, and a lack of pretension that set her apart from the rest of the city’s pool of talented up-and-coming musicians. Aside from her own music\, she is also the founder of the all-female Elvis tribute band\, Pelvis Breastlies. \nABOUT CURATOR MEL BUCHANAN AND PERSONALITIES IN CLAY\nMel Buchanan is the RosaMary Curator for Decorative Arts and Design.

Finished tablets will be available for pickup at a later date. THIS WORKSHOP IS SOLD OUT \nThis program is presented in conjunction with Personalities in Clay: American Studio Ceramics from the E.

The meantime has been hard-fought but fruitful\, with appearances at The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival\, Voodoo Music Experience\, SXSW\, and several tours of the US and Europe. Alexis and bandmate Sam Craft met in 2009 and initially teamed up for Alexis’ sophomore effort Orange Moon (2011). Under the tutelage and engineering of The Polyphonic Spree’s Rick Nelson\, the duo drew an all-star cast\, 25 of NOLA’s finest musicians of every genre for this big\, lush\, indie-pop opus with a distinct Louisiana flavor. \nABOUT THERE WILL BE BLOOD\nNOMA’s three-film Landscape on Screen Series concludes with There Will Be Blood\, a 2007 movie inspired by Upton Sinclair’s 1927 novel Oil!. The film tells the story of Daniel Plainview\, a silver miner-turned-oilman on a ruthless quest for wealth during Southern California’s oil boom of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Daniel Day-Lewis\, Kevin J. O’Connor\, Ciarán Hinds\, Kevin J. O’Connor\, and Dillon Freasier star in the film\, much of which was shot in Marfa\, Texas\, and in the historic Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills\, California. The the jury for American Film Institute named the film among its top ten for 2007 and wrote: ” There Will Be Blood is bravura film-making by one of American film’s modern masters. Paul Thomas Anderson’s epic poem of savagery\, optimism and obsession is a true meditation on America. The film drills down into the dark heart of capitalism\, where domination\, not gain\, is the ultimate goal. In a career defined by transcendent performances\, Daniel Day-Lewis creates a character so rich and so towering\, that ‘Daniel Plainview’ will haunt the history of film for generations to come.” (2 hours\, 38 minutes | Rated R | Watch the trailer) \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

While learning Hill Country Blues firsthand in North Mississippi\, he founded his blues-rock trio TURCHI\, which released its debut album Road Ends in Water in 2012. Five years and six albums later\, after touring extensively and experimenting with a variety of styles\, Turchi has returned to the music that led him to take up guitar. His newest album\, Tallahatchie\, is stripped of studio tricks\, with songs presented simply: a slide\, a voice\, an acoustic guitar\, and a wooden chair on a wooden floor. \nABOUT JOE EARLE\nUsing examples from the Kurt Gitter and Alice Yelen collection of contemporary Japanese ceramics on view in New Forms\, New Voices\, as well as others by emerging artists\, all of them made during the present century\, Joe Earle will show how the art form has reached an interesting point of development. As the time-worn narratives of “innovation within tradition” and “Japaneseness versus Westernness” recede into insignificance\, it becomes easier for scholars to look at these works from a more global perspective. \nJoe Earle was Director of Japan Society Gallery in New York from 2007 to 2012 and has held leadership positions in Asian art departments at the Victoria and Albert Museum\, London\, and the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston. Now based in London\, he works as Senior Consultant for Bonhams auction house in the U.K. and U.S. He has also revived his former career as a prolific author of Japanese art catalogues\, with no fewer than six titles due to be published this year alone. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

His energized performances\, whether with his band\, solo/acoustic or with all-star projects\, are a staple at clubs and festivals in the city.

Dr. Peter Venkman (Bill Murray)\, Dr. Raymong Stantz (Dan Akroyd) and Dr. Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis) work at a university where they delve into the paranormal and toy with many unethical experiments on the students. After being kicked out of academia\, the trio form a new business named “‘Ghostbusters\,” headquartered in an old firehouse\, where they are called upon to rid New York City of paranormal phenomenon. They make national press but are ultimately thrown in jail by the EPA who declare the ghost-catchers frauds.\, Yet\, the mayor pleads for the men to be released to wage battle against a long-dead Babylonian demon wreaking havoc upon Manhattan. From rottentomatoes.com:  “The climax is a glorious sendup of every Godzilla movie ever made—and we daresay it cost more than a year’s worth of Japanese monster flicks combined. Who’d ever dream that the chubby\, cheery Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man would turn out to be the most malevolent threat ever faced by New York City?” (Rated PG-13 | 2 hours\, 14 minutes) \nWatch the original trailer: \n \n  URL:https://nomastaging.org/event/movies-garden-ghostbusters-music-marc-stone/ CATEGORIES:NOMA at Night ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nomastaging.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/acfec12415cc9776ea366511bbbc544a.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
