Photo by Liz Hogan. \nAs the story goes\, Lilli Lewis should never have been. Before she was born\, Lewis’s mother was told her baby probably wouldn’t survive due to lung trouble\, so the fact that Lewis now makes a living singing with those same lungs is a gift she never takes for granted. Lewis uses her voice to bring what she calls sacred songs into profane spaces\, and though she’s abandoned trying to define her sound\, she hopes her audiences leave shows knowing two things: that they are brilliant as they are\, and that they have the ability to use that brilliance to make a better world. \nThe Lilli Lewis Project is more than a band. It’s a pan-generational cult of radical decency that delivers heart-throbbing\, earnest rock and soul that “makes you want to put your hands in the air\, shout hallelujah and shake your booty for the rest of the night\, with enough energy to power a large city” (Jamie Anderson\, indie-music.com). \nLewis is said to have “Sister Rosetta Tharpe’s virtuoso commitment to her instrument and Odetta’s vocal power\, creating a show that is a force of nature.” The Louisiana Red Hot Records artist has two releases on the label of Dumpstaphunk\, Honey Island Swamp Band\, and 2018 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Cyril Neville. \nThe regular LLP lineup is a cosmic swarm of fellow idealist music nerds: Smokey Brown (Think Less\, Hear More)\, Wade Hymel (Dash Rip Rock)\, Ryan Murray (Marina Orchestra\, Bloco Jacare)\, Ole Oddlokken (Noisewater) and master composer/virtuoso bassist Dr. Jimbo Walsh. Willing to traverse any musical terrain\, LLP bears the spirit of days when everyone still believed music could change the world. \nLearn More \nIn the Galleries\nKeith Duncan (American\, b. 1967)\, Grambling State University Drum Major 2\, 2020\, Acrylic on wallpaper mounted to canvas\, Museum purchase\, P.

The second in a series of exhibitions that began in 2017\, NEW at NOMA reflects the museum’s ongoing commitment to make the art on its walls more reflective of the community that it serves. The installation\, which will rotate over time\, features work by local\, national\, and international artists\, and champions the work of emerging and underrepresented voices\, including those within New Orleans. \nIn 2020\, NOMA dedicated its available acquisition funds to purchasing works by BIPOC artists; more than half of the 20 works acquired are by artists from or working in New Orleans. As NOMA strives to become even more equitable and inclusive\, the museum’s commitment to addressing exclusions in the past by collecting through new acquisitions will continue through 2021 and beyond. \nLearn More \nAbout Rearranging the Planets\nCreative Assembly Cohort member Steve Lands presents Rearranging the Planets\, a new musical performance reinterpreting composer Gustav Holst’s influential orchestral suite The Planets. \nWith his original composition\, Lands uses Holst’s work as a jumping off point to explore the varied relationships civilizations have had to the heavens over time. While Holst structured his suite—which premiered at the Queen’s Hall in London in 1918—around the Solar System and its Greco-Roman mythological namesakes\, Rearranging the Planets casts a broader net to consider how societies around the world have looked to the stars. In the words of planetary scientist Carl Sagan\, “We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.” \nLearn More \nAbout Jane Place Neighborhood Sustainability Initiative\nJane Place Neighbrohood Sustainability Initiative is a community land trust and housing rights organization committed to creating sustainable\, democratic\, and economically just neighborhoods and communities in New Orleans. \nLearn More \nCovid-19 Safety Guidelines\nNOMA’s primary concern is the health of our visitors\, staff\, and community.

Traversing these regions helped develop a fundamental sensitivity towards urban development\, southern landscape and black spatial justice. During her years at Tougaloo College where she majored in Sociology and double minored in Social Work and Fine Art\, she began to examine the spatial dynamics of black history and how these histories where connected geographically.

During this time she earned her Bachelors in Fine Arts in Painting from Virginia Commonwealth University and her Masters in Fine Arts in Painting from Yale School of Art. In 2016 Dyson designed and built Studio South Zero (SSZ) a solar-powered mobile studio where the context of nomadicity became the framework for learning and making art about the environment. It was traveling with SSZ that inspired her experimental project The Wynter-Wells Drawing School for Environmental Liberation where she explores contemporary theorizations of space\, architecture and the infrastructure of extraction economies. \n\nABOUT FREE FERAL\nfree is a multi-disciplinary artist whose songwriting explores psychic landscapes thru blues and folk traditions using cello\, viola\, guitar\, vocals & loops.

Regular admission prices apply—NOMA members are FREE—but there is no extra charge for programs or films. All galleries\, the Museum Shop\, and Café NOMA remain open till 9 pm. \n5 – 8 pm | Art on the Spot drop-in activity table \n5:30 – 8:30 pm | Music by Shawn Williams Band \n6:30 pm | Arts & Letters Series: Nathaniel Rich discusses Losing Earth\, joined in conversation with Mark Davis\, founding director of the Tulane Institute on Water Resources Law and Policy of Tulane University and former director of the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana. A book signing will follow in the Museum Shop.\n▶ READ AN INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR \nABOUT SHAWN WILLIAMS BAND\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.” \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 NATHANIEL RICH\nBy 1979\, we knew nearly everything we understand today about climate change―including how to stop it. Over the next decade\, a handful of scientists\, politicians\, and strategists\, led by two unlikely heroes\, risked their careers in a desperate\, escalating campaign to convince the world to act before it was too late. In Losing Earth\, Rich chronicles their story\, and ours. \nThe New York Times Magazine devoted an entire issue to Rich’s groundbreaking chronicle of that decade\, which became an instant journalistic phenomenon―the subject of news coverage\, editorials\, and conversations all over the world. In its emphasis on the lives of the people who grappled with the great existential threat of our age\, it made vivid the moral dimensions of our shared plight. Now expanded into book form\, Losing Earth tells the human story of climate change in even richer\, more intimate terms. It reveals\, in previously unreported detail\, the birth of climate denialism and the genesis of the fossil fuel industry’s coordinated effort to thwart climate policy through misinformation propaganda and political influence. The book carries the story into the present day\, wrestling with the long shadow of our past failures and asking crucial questions about how we make sense of our past\, our future\, and ourselves. Like John Hersey’s Hiroshima and Jonathan Schell’s The Fate of the Earth\, Losing Earth is the rarest of achievements: a riveting work of dramatic history that articulates a moral framework for understanding how we got here\, and how we must go forward. \nRich is a writer-at-large for the New York Times Magazine; his essays on literature appear regularly in the Atlantic\, Harper’s\, and the New York Review of Books. His reported pieces have appeared in various anthologies\, including the Best American Nonrequired Reading and the Best American Science and Nature Writing. He is the author of three novels: King Zeno (2018); Odds Against Tomorrow (2013); and The Mayor’s Tongue (Riverhead\, 2008). \nABOUT MARK DAVIS\nA widely consulted and quoted authority on water law and management\, Mark Davis joined Tulane Law School in 2007 as a senior research fellow and founding director of the Tulane Institute on Water Resources Law and Policy. In 2017 he also became the director of Tulane’s ByWater Institute which is focused the interdisciplinary aspects of water stewardship and community resilience.  He lectures widely on water resource management\, is directly involved in helping Louisiana overhaul its long-term water planning and has testified frequently before Congress on the need for a focused and effective commitment to the viability of coastal Louisiana and other vital natural treasures.\nDavis spent 14 years as executive director of the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana\, where he helped shape programs and policies at the state and federal level to improve the stewardship of the wetlands and waters of coastal Louisiana. He has practiced law in Indianapolis\, the District of Columbia and Chicago and has taught at the Indiana University (Indianapolis) School of Business and the IIT-Chicago Kent School of Law in Chicago. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is presented by The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate and supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

His is a new American songbook\, one that draws as much from Tin Pan Alley as it does from modern geniuses like Jeff Tweedy\, Dr. John\, and Amon Tobin. “The songs\, while instantly familiar\, remain very much their own creations” writes Secret Sound Shop\,  “combining the bedroom intimacy of a singer-songwriter” (Seven Days VT) with the rich harmonic palette of jazz\, contemporary classical\, and world music. \nABOUT BAUHAUS SPIRIT: 100 YEARS OF BAUHAUS\nIn conjunction with the exhibition An Ideal Unity: The Bauhaus & Beyond\, NOMA will screen Bauhaus Spirit: 100 Years of Bauhaus. This lively\, wide-ranging documentary explores the history\, present and future of the utopian design and architecture school and communal social movement around the world. Founded in 1919 by Walter Gropius\, Bauhaus was supposed to unite sculpture\, painting\, design and architecture into a single combined constructive discipline. It is a synthesis of liberated imagination and stringent structure; cross-medial concepts that embellish and enrich our existence\, illumination and clarity\, order and playfulness. Bauhaus constituted one of the most significant contributions to everyday 20th-century culture and influential contemporary designs\, but Bauhaus was never just an artistic experiment. Confronted with the social conditions of that particular time\, as well as the experience of the First World War\, the movement concerned itself with the political and social connotations of design from the very outset. \nWatch the trailer: \n \n  \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.
