He will prepare beef goulash. Chefs from other restaurants in the Ralph Brennan Group will continue the cooking classes on Friday nights through August 23 with dishes inspired by their culinary mentors\, in tribute to the exhibition Bodies of Knowledge. \nABOUT WOMEN WITHOUT MEN\nIn conjunction with the exhibition Bodies of Knowledge\, NOMA will screen movies by Iranian filmmaker Shirin Neshat as part of Friday Nights at NOMA programming. Women Without Men profiles the lives of four women living in Tehran in 1953\, during the American-backed coup that returned the Shah of Iran to power. The film was called “visually transfixing” by a New York Times reviewer.  Two of the film’s recurrent images are of a long dirt road extending to the horizon on which the characters walk\, and a river that suggests\, “a deep current of feminine resilience below an impassive exterior.” Women Without Men is set in the streets of Iranian capital\, which are teeming with protesters objecting to the overthrow of the prime minister\, but four disparate women have more immediate concerns. Farrokhlagha’s (Arita Shahrzad) husband thinks he’s entitled to be married to multiple women. Munis (Shabnam Toloui) is a virtual slave to her brother. Faezeh (Pegah Ferydoni) has physical and emotional troubles. And Zarin (Orsolya Tóth) is an unwilling prostitute. Boldly\, the women pursue solutions to the problems foisted upon them. (2009 | Not rated | 1 hour\, 39 minutes | Watch the trailer) \nABOUT LUCHO\nLouisiana-born songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist Lucho is trying to redefine the role of a producer. Hailing from New Orleans\, Lucho began writing songs at an early age. Spending a majority of his teen years playing\, experimenting\, and refining his songwriting/production in various bands\, he focused his energy into creating unique sounds for other artists. In the summer of 2010 together with his siblings and guitarist Adrian Frye\, he independently released The Bit Parts EP with the indie-pop outfit Youth Sounds. The band achieved some success off the strength of its lead single “What is it like?” following it up with the Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow EP. In 2012 he connected with DRC rapper Alec Lomami\, producing three out of four songs on his debut Mélancolie Joyeuse EP. This established a unique artistic relationship with Lomami\, it also lead to Lucho becoming the creative director of Lomami’s and rapper Well$ independent label Immaculate Taste. His latest project\, a mix of Andean folkloric and electronic dance music\, has challenged him to dig into his South American roots and explore lush sonic territories\, allowing him the freedom to redefine his cultural and artistic self-expression. \nFriday 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.

Keiko is a pianist from Japan and has lived in New Orleans since 2006\, performing with George Porter Jr.\, Johnny Vidacovich\, Zigaboo Modeliste\, Russell Batiste\, and many other artists of the funk/blues/jazz fusion scene. Mateo is a tenor saxophonist and vocalist from France whorecently moved to New Orleans from Barcelona. He has performed Afro-Latin jazz\, traditional Cuban and world music. Keiko and Mateo met as members of the international touring band Playing For Change and have been traveling around the world together since 2016. \nABOUT WAFAA BILAL\nDuring the invasion of Iraq in 2003\, the College of Fine Arts at the University of Baghdad lost their entire library due to looters who set fire to the collection. More than 70\,000 books were destroyed. Over thirteen years later\, few books remain for the students to read and study. In 168:01\, Iraqi-American artist Wafaa Bilal presents an austere white library that is both a monument to the staggering cultural losses endured throughout Iraq’s history\, and a platform for its potential rebirth. Comprised of a series of white shelves filled with blank tomes\, Bilal’s library doubles as a system of exchange that connects museum visitors directly to Iraq. Aimed at restoring the library’s lost archives\, 168:01 positions viewers as potential donors whose contributions fund educational texts from a reading list compiled by faculty members at the University of Baghdad. As book donations accrue\, the bookshelf becomes saturated with knowledge and filled with color as the white library is slowly replaced with books from this faculty wish list. In exchange for their contribution\, donors receive the blank tomes. At the end of the exhibition\, all donated books are to be shipped to the College of Fine Arts\, to help begin the process of rebuilding. \nAlso on view are images from Bilal’s The Ashes Series\, photographs of a set of miniature handmade replicas of environments destroyed during the Iraq War. Each of these three-dimensional models references a specific journalistic photograph of war-torn Iraq that was circulated in newspapers\, magazines\, and on the internet in the wake of conflict. \nImage credit: Wafaa Bilal\, The Ashes Series: Piano\, 2003–2013\, Archival inkjet photograph\, 40 x 50 in.\, Image courtesy of the artist © Wafaa Bilal \nABOUT ARTFUL PALATE AND CHEF KNUT MJELDE\nCafé NOMA presents their eighth annual summertime Artful Palate series of cooking demonstrations at 6 pm withKnut Mjelde\, Ralph’s on the Park sous chef.

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. Be among the first to explore NOMA’s major summer exhibition\, Bodies of Knowledge. \nNOTE: NOMA will briefly close at 4:30 pm in preparation for the dance performance that begins on the front steps of the museum at 5 pm. Following the first act\, visitors may follow the performers into the Great Hall. \n\n5 pm: Black Magic Dance Performance (visitors should assemble at NOMA’s front entrance)\n5:30 – 8 pm: Art on the Spot drop-in activity table\n5:30 – 8:30 pm: Safar series featuring music by Mahmoud Chouki with Amigos do Samba\n6 – 7 pm: Artist Perspective Talks: Adriana Corral (6 pm)\, Manon Bellet (6:30 pm)\, and Garrett Bradley (7 pm)\n\nABOUT BODIES OF KNOWLEDGE\nBodies of Knowledge brings together eleven international contemporary artists to reflect on the role that language plays in archiving and asserting our cultural identities. Working with materials that range from books and silent film to ink\, ashes and musical scores\, ten artists propose language as a living and ever-evolving mode of communication that can counter more staid and static ways of representing our collective pasts. The following represented artists will discuss their work: \nIn her spare and often ephemeral installations\, Adriana Corral makes use of subtle materials like ash\, soil\, and burned paper to acknowledge histories of political violence throughout Central and South America. Memento is a site-specific installation that addresses the 2003 homicide of eight young girls in Ciudad Juárez\, Mexico\, as well as the widespread phenomenon of enforced “disappearances” of women throughout the region. \nIn her site-specific installation Brèves Braises\, Manon Bellet affixes the charred remains of burned paper on the walls of the museum. From these tattered remains\, she creates a script or musical score that runs across an entire length of a long white wall. Created in collaboration with musicians that Bellet invites to compose an accompanying musical score\, these burned fragments of paper have a graphic dynamism and rhythm that resembles that of improvisational music or impromptu speech. Over the course of her installation\, she allows these papers gradually drop to the floor\, encouraged by movement of air generated by the improvisational energy of bodies and instruments as the move through and activate the installation. \nGarrett Bradley’s multi-channel video installation America reimagines a lost history of African-American silent film. Bradley\, a filmmaker and artist based in New Orleans\, takes as her starting place a 2013 survey conducted by the Library of Congress—which states that 70 percent of American silent films made between 1912 and 1929 have gone missing—to propose that there was an entire body of cinema made by and for African American audiences\, artists\, and filmmakers\, created and since lost. \nABOUT BLACK MAGIC DANCE PERFORMANCE\nFor Bodies of Knowledge\, artistic director Edward Spots and choreographer Donna Crump will develop a new site-specific dance performance at NOMA\, titled Black Magic\, that unfolds in five distinct dance movements: Black Suffering\, Black Anger\, Black Beauty\, Black Love\, and Black Joy. This work will explore varying aspects of black cultural identity through dance and the body. Investigating a range of topics from suffering\, to beauty\, to joy\, this original work will depict joy as a form of resistance to dominant depictions of the black experience\, and consider what is often forgotten and omitted from prevalent representations of black life. This work will be performed by Spots\, Crump\, and twelve youth dancers from Dancing Grounds\, a New Orleans-based nonprofit organization that builds community through dance with programs that work at the intersection of arts\, education\, and social justice. \nNOMA visitors should assemble outside the museum’s front entrance at 5 pm. The dance performance will begin outdoors and the audience will follow the dancers into the Great Hall. \nABOUT MAHMOUD CHOUKI AND AMIGOS DO SAMBA\nIn the first of series of musical collaborations under the collective title Safar—which means “to travel” in Arabic—Mahmoud Chouki will collaborate with Amigos de Samba. This series of site-specific performances for Bodies of Knowledge explore how music can speak across cultural divides to envision new forms of dialogue between East and West. \nChouki is a master guitarist\, multi-instrumentalist and composer living and working in New Orleans. His art draws together music from many different international contexts to consider how music can speak across cultural divides. His own compositions incorporate musical influences from across the globe\, ranging from European classical\, Andalusian from Southern Spain\, Levantine music from the Middle East\, Maghrebian music from North Africa\, Latin American music\, and jazz from the southern United States. \nThe Amigos specialize in samba traditionally played around a table with a variety of Brazilian percussion and string instruments. Their mission is to bring the “Roda de Samba\,” well-known in Brazil\, to New Orleans. The group is formed by a mix of Brazilian and US natives\, including Ezra Spira-Cohen\, Felipe Leite\, Leo Oliveira\, Nicolas Bell\, Scott Myers\, and Tedo Oliveira. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

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. \n\n5 – 8 pm | Art on the Spot drop-in activity table\n5:30 – 8 pm | Music by the Susanne Ortner Trio\n6 pm | Gallery Talk with Curatorial Fellow Brian Piper on You Are Here: A Brief History of Photography and Place\n6:30 pm | Gallery Talk with Curatorial Fellow Allison Young on Keith Sonnier: Until Today\n\nABOUT THE SUSANNE ORTNER TRIO\nClarinetist/saxaphonist Susanne Ortner will join guitarist Nahum Zdybel and bass player James Singleton for a performance titled “Last Stop Sehnsucht\,” featuring acoustic music from disparate traditions. Driven by an “addictive yearning” for deep connection\, this stellar trio explores often overlooked twentieth-century repertoire from disparate traditions in an inside/outside kind of way – and with great sensitivity\, communication\, and fire. \nFor Susanne Ortner\, a desire to find the similar in the different has lead to an exploration of a myriad of musical traditions\, as well as collaborations and international concert tours with numerous musicians — mostly in the intimate duo or trio format — such as Belgian Gypsy icon Tcha Limberger\, accordionist/pianist Alan Bern\, multi-instrumentalist Vince Giordano\, pianist Tom Roberts and many others. She was the founder of the German klezmer quartet Sing Your Soul\, and collaborates with American klezmer and jazz musicians\, mostly in the intimate duo and trio format. \nNahum Thelonious Zdybel is a New Orleans-based guitarist\, improviser\, and composer who restlessly shifts roles between innovative explorer of improvised music\, creative indie rock sideman\, and ardent revivalist of early jazz styles and repertoire. Attracted to musical settings that are intimate and sincere\, Nahum deploys a playful\, hyper-sensitive approach to re-imagine material from disparate musical traditions as baffling combustions of spontaneity and subtle cleverness. Correspondingly at home amongst jazz tunes\, free improvisations\, original works\, and early twentieth-century American music\, Nahum is an inventive musician who regards with equal fondness and irreverence his relationship with early jazz\, hardcore punk\, and unstructured improvisation. \nComposer/Double bassist/bandleader James Singleton has been ubiquitous on the New Orleans music scene for more than forty years. He has performed\, toured\, and recorded in many styles from the earliest New Orleans traditions to R&B\, blues\, and all imagined types of jazz to punk rock and the avant-garde. The New Orleans traditions he most adheres to are invention\, making it new\, and making it deep. \nABOUT YOU ARE HERE: A BRIEF HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND PLACE\nYou Are Here: A Brief History of Photography and Place both embraces and challenges the photograph’s role as a faithful record of place\, examining photography’s successes and failures in rendering\, and sharing\, fragments of the world. Drawn almost exclusively from NOMA’s permanent collection\, the exhibition traces a history of photography from the origins of the medium to the present. Throughout\, You Are Here explores photographs of place\, photographs in place\, and photographs about place\, in the hopes of leading us to think more deeply about how photography mediates our experience of the world and other people in it. \nABOUT KEITH SONNIER: UNTIL TODAY\nNow in its final days\, closing Sunday\, June 2\, NOMA hosts the first comprehensive museum survey for Keith Sonnier\, a pioneering figure in conceptual\, post-minimal\, video and performance art of the late 1960s. Born in Grand Mamou\, Louisiana\, in 1941\, Sonnier was one of the first artists to incorporate light into sculpture: an innovation that forms the foundation of his subsequent work. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

[Read more about Cristina Molina in an interview published in NOMA Magazine.]\nDrawing upon cultural mythologies of the underworld\, Molina will guide museum visitors through a whispered exploration of the exhibition in which the different artworks in the exhibition constitute the topography of an imagined subterranean landscape. Inspired by the classical myth of Persephone\, who was doomed to spend a third of the year in the underworld\, Molina reimagines this mythological figure as an empowered goddess who harnesses the earth as a place of primordial cultural emergence. Spanning video installation\, performance\, photography\, sculpture and textile design\, Molina’s work privileges female protagonists to explore themes related to origins\, heritage\, and personal mythology\, and how they work in concert with natural and urban landscapes. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

Born in Grand Mamou\, Louisiana in 1941\, Sonnier was one of the first artists to incorporate light into sculpture: an innovation that forms the foundation of his subsequent work. Since the late 1960s\, Sonnier has continued to forge a sculptural language that defies easy categorization. From his earliest investigations of fleeting and unstable materials like lint\, latex and neon\, to his later expressions of the way architecture\, light and form come together to shape human experience\, communication and interconnection\, Sonnier’s art has radically reframed sculpture’s role and function. \nThe 15-minute documentary Keith Sonnier: Sketches to Neon by filmmaker Lana Jokel will be screened in Stern Auditorium. Filmed at two locations in the Hamptons\, the documentary follows Sonnier and Jokel to a local auto-body shop where the artist is transforming a 1950s Oldsmobile into a mobile neon sculpture. The second location is Sonnier’s Bridgehampton studio\, where he and Jokel discuss his process of transforming sketches and maquettes into neon works. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

SOBLOFF\nThe sixteenth annual Maya Symposium\, themed “The Center Could Not Hold: The Ancient Maya and Collapse\,” is a collaboration of Tulane University’s Stone Center for Latin American Studies\, the New Orleans Museum of Art\, and Mexican Consulate in New Orleans. Scholars gather to share research and NOMA hosts the keynote address\, to be delivered by Jeremy A. Sobloff\, \nThe term “collapse” has\, in recent years\, become quite controversial in studies of Maya civilization\, and there is good reason to question the utility of this loaded word going forward. Jeremy Sobloff’s keynote talk will focus on understandings of cultural processes in the late 8th and 9th centuries and environmental events in the Maya Lowlands that culminated in what has often been seen as a political collapse. Moreover\, his talk will examine whether such understanding can help illuminate comparable trends at other times in Maya history and in other complex societies in general. \nSobloff is an External Professor of the Santa Fe Institute and past President of the Institute (2009-2015). He also is Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor of Anthropology\, Emeritus of the University of Pennsylvania. Before coming to the Santa Fe Institute\, he taught at Harvard University\, the University of Utah\, the University of New Mexico (where he was Chair of the Department)\, the University of Pittsburgh (where he also was Chair)\, and the University of Pennsylvania (where he was the Williams Director of the University of Pennsylvania Museum from 1994-2004). He also was an Overseas Visiting Fellow at St. John’s College\, Cambridge\, England. His principal scholarly interests include: ancient Maya civilization\, pre-industrial urbanism\, settlement pattern studies\, archaeological theory and method\, the history of archaeology\, and the relevance of archaeology in the modern world. Over the past forty years\, he has undertaken archaeological field research in both Mexico and Guatemala. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

Eventually\, his stellar intelligence in mathematics and his boundless confidence in both attract the attention of the noted British mathematics professor\, G.H. Hardy\, who invites him to further develop his computations at Trinity College at Cambridge. Forced to leave his young wife\, Janaki\, behind\, Ramanujan finds himself in a land where both his largely intuitive mathematical theories and his cultural values run headlong into both the stringent academic requirements of his school and mentor and the prejudiced realities of a Britain heading into World War One. Facing this with a family back home determined to keep him from his wife and his own declining health\, Ramanujan joins with Hardy in a mutual struggle that would define Ramanujan as one of India’s greatest modern scholars who broke more than one barrier in his worlds.

Idiosyncratic\, catchy\, and rich with local talent\, the tracks showcase Williams’ impressive musicianship and unique capabilities as a songwriter. OffBeat Magazine says\, “it’s an impressively mature debut album.” \nABOUT EDMUND WHITE AND THOMAS BELLER\nNOMA’s Arts & Letters series welcomes authors\, poets\, journalists\, playwrights\, and literary scholars to the museum for public conversations that reflect on literature at the intersection of arts and culture. Edmund White\, a pioneering figure in gay literature and memoir\, will be interviewed by Thomas Beller\, an acclaimed nonfiction writer and professor at Tulane University. Read an interview with Edmund White in NOMA Magazine. \nEdmund White was born in 1940 and raised in Cincinnati and Chicago.

His books include The Joy of Gay Sex (1977)\, co-written with Charles Silverstein; a trio of autobiographic novels: A Boy’s Own Story (1982)\, The Beautiful Room Is Empty (1988)\, and The Farewell Symphony (1997); and a biography of French novelist\, playwright\, and political activist Jean Genet. He is formerly a professor of creative writing at Princeton University.  \nThomas Beller is an author\, editor\, and professor of English at Tulane University. His books include Seduction Theory (1995)\, The Sleep-Over Artist (2000)\, How To Be a Man: Scenes from a Protracted Boyhood (2005)\, and J.D. Salinger: The Escape Artist (2014).

Inspired by the classical myth of Persephone\, who was doomed to spend a third of the year in the underworld\, Molina reimagines this mythological figure as an empowered goddess who harnesses the earth as a place of primordial cultural emergence. Spanning video installation\, performance\, photography\, sculpture and textile design\, Molina’s work privileges female protagonists to explore themes related to origins\, heritage\, and personal mythology\, and how they work in concert with natural and urban landscapes. \nABOUT ANDREW MCCLELLAN\nTrained in European art of the early modern period (primarily 17th-early 19th centuries)\, Andrew McClellan has lectured and published widely on painting\, sculpture\, and architecture\, as well as the historiography and institutions of art. An overriding interest in contexts\, institutional frameworks\, and the reception of art led him to study the collecting and display of art and forms the basis of four of his books\, Inventing the Louvre: Art\, Politics\, and the Origins of the Modern Museum in Eighteenth-Century Paris (1999)\, Art and Its Publics: Museum Studies at the Millennium (2003)\,  The Art Museum from Boullée to Bilbao (2008)\, and The Art of Curating: Paul J. Sachs and the Museum Course at Harvard (2018). \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

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. \nIn celebration of the Saints’ NFC championship\, visitors wearing the team’s jerseys\, apparel\, or black and gold colors will be admitted FREE after 4 pm.  \n\n5 – 8 pm: Art on the Spot family activity table\n5:30 – 8:30 pm: Music by Extended Trio\n6-8 pm: Series of Small Talks in the exhibition Ear to the Ground: Earth and Element in Contemporary Art\n\nABOUT EXTENDED TRIO\nExtended Trio is a New Orleans-based\, modern-jazz\, piano band featuring Brad Webb\, Matt Booth\, and Oscar Rossignoli as composers. \nABOUT EAR TO THE GROUND: EARTH AND ELEMENT IN CONTEMPORARY ART\nWorking with natural elements like earth\, wind\, water and fire\, the artists in Ear to the Ground show how nature can spur artistic innovation and spark new thinking about human culture and community. In their art\, nature is not just as a resource to be protected or exploited\, but rather a generative force with its own sentient power. Mining earth both as a material and a metaphor\, the artists in this exhibition treat nature as a teacher: a model for negotiating the complexities of contemporary cultural life. Informed by a kind of elemental logic\, their art envisions new ways we might relate to the natural world\, as well as to one another. \nThe following ten-to-fifteen-minute Small Talks by artists represented in the exhibition will take place throughout the evening: \n\n6 – 6:30 pm: Cristina Molina is a visual artist who creates video installations that include still imagery and sculptural forms. Molina’s non linear\, hypnotic works centralize female protagonists within historical\, mythical\, and autobiographical narratives. Her artwork has been exhibited at various national and international venues.\n6:30 – 6:45 pm: Diedrick Brackens thoughtfully employs the language of weaving and textile making to explore the intersections of identity and sociopolitical issues in the United States. Brackens uses calculated woven algorithms that stem from the cultural histories of African\, American\, and European textiles to generate his intricate tapestries\, seeking to highlight the complexities of African-American identity while also focusing on the loom and its significance to cultural production.\n7 – 7:30 pm: Sara Madandar is a US-based artist from Iran. She currently works in painting\, sculpture\,video and performance. Her work is mostly about the relationship of the human to their bodies and covers. She materializes the issues of existing in an in-between space through construction and deconstruction of the canvas. Her work evokes a sensation out of destruction and touches on the cultural displacements of corporeality. Her video\, video installations\, and performances are influenced by her emigration and comparison between cultures.\n8 pm: Dan Alley grew up in Alaska and did his undergraduate work at Washington State University\, where he received a BFA in ceramics. In 2014 he earned an MFA in glass art and currently serves there as an adjunct professor.\n\nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

Mayor Mitch Landrieu led the ceremony\, attended by living legends of jazz\, music aficionados\, politicians\, and everyday people. The scene captured the history and culture of the city in microcosm—a city legendary for its noisy\, complicated\, tradition-rich splendor. In his new book City of a Million Dreams: A History of New Orleans at Year 300\, Jason Berry delivers a character-driven history of New Orleans at its tricentennial. Chronicling cycles of invention\, struggle\, death\, and rebirth\, Berry reveals the city’s survival as a triumph of diversity\, its map-of-the-world neighborhoods marked by resilience despite hurricanes\, epidemics\, fires\, and floods. \nBerry orchestrates a parade of vibrant personalities\, from the founder Bienville\, a warrior emblazoned with snake tattoos; to Governor William C. C. Claiborne\, General Andrew Jackson\, and Pere Antoine Sedella\, an influential priest and secret agent of the Inquisition; Sister Gertrude Morgan\, a street evangelist and visionary artist of the 1960s; and Michael White\, the famous clarinetist who remade his life after losing everything in Hurricane Katrina. The textured profiles of this extraordinary cast furnish a dramatic narrative of the beloved city\, famous the world over for mysterious rituals as people dance when they bury their dead. \nA preview clip of a companion documentary to City of a Million Dreams will also be screened in Stern Auditorium\, and a book signing will follow the presentation in the Museum Shop. \nBerry is an independent writer\, documentary film producer\, and journalist living in New Orleans. \nFriday 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.
