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.

Panelists include Bethany Bultman (speaking about her late aunt\, Muriel Bultman Francis); Walda Besthoff\, major donor and joint namesake for the Besthoff Sculpture Garden; and Phyllis Taylor\, philanthropist and chair and president of the Patrick F. Taylor Foundation. \nSponsored by \n \nABOUT EAR TO THE GROUND\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. \nABOUT MILDRED THOMPSON: AGAINST THE GRAIN\nAgainst the Grain marks the first solo museum presentation of the experimental wood works of the American artist Mildred Thompson (1936-2003) in more than thirty years. Made during the artist’s self-imposed exile in Europe\, Thompson’s wood pictures are only recently being rediscovered and presented in the United States. \nABOUT LINA IRIS VIKTOR: A HAVEN. A HELL. A DREAM DEFERRED.\nLina Iris Viktor is widely recognized for her exploration of art’s connection to history\, spirituality\, and prophecy. Recasting factual and fantastical narratives surrounding America’s involvement in the founding of Liberia\, Lina Iris Viktor: A Haven. A Hell. A Dream Deferred. explores a mythicized history of the West African nation. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

A Hell. A Dream Deferred. explores a mythicized history of the West African nation.

As every samurai needs a leader to whom he swears loyalty\, Ghost Dog has devoted himself the service of Louie (John Tormey)\, a low-level crime boss who once saved his life. When Louie’s superiors decide he must be executed\, Ghost Dog leaps into action\, methodically wiping out his many enemies. Along with a dizzying series of stylized shoot-outs\, Ghost Dog also features carrier pigeons\, characters who read Rashomon\, a French-speaking ice cream man\, and a score by RZA from the top-selling hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan\, who have their own well-documented obsession with Asian culture. Ghost Dog was screened in competition at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival.

The work is on view in the exhibition Changing Course: Reflections on New Orleans Histories. Fein\, whose work has long explored New Orleans’ many diverse subcultures and informal communities\, recreates this space to offer a haunting memorial to the event and those impacted by the tragedy. Comprising both real and fictional memorabilia of the era as well as crime scene photos and charred objects\, Fein’s installation examines notions of history\, memory\, truth and the slippages between them. Though a disgruntled customer was suspected\, no one was ever convicted for the crime\, which resulted in 32 casualties and countless injuries. Restaging this project almost exactly ten years after its original presentation in Prospect.1\, NOMA’s installation considers the continued reverberation of this unsolved crime for LGBT communities across New Orleans. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

The Everyday Projects is a social media and educational outreach program aimed at challenging stereotypes\, bridging communities and building visual literacy through photography. It began in 2012 as Everyday Africa\, an Instagram account that uses photographs of everyday life to transcend media- driven stereotypes of Africa as a place overrun by disease\, poverty\, and war. It has since expanded into cities across the country\, including Atlanta\, Washington D.C.\, and the Bronx\, N.Y. At NOMA\, this project culminated in a display of selected photographs and texts that are displayed in dialogue with the artistic projects on view in Changing Course. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

This exciting music and dance experience formed in 1994 has become beloved in its home city and beyond. Bamboula 2000’s music is influenced by New Orleans\, the Caribbean and Africa. The group has won the prestigious Big Easy Award for Best World Music group three times and has been nominated eight times. In addition\, Bamboula 2000 reaches thousands of children annually through their Imagination Tour dance-and-drum workshops. \nABOUT WILLIE BIRCH\nWillie Birch is a New Orleans-based artist who draws inspiration from this city and the complexity of its diverse traditions and histories. Working in a variety of mediums\, from paper mache to acrylic and charcoal on paper\, he renders second lines\, street musicians and the architecture of New Orleans with a nuanced eye towards intimate details—power lines and chain linked fences\, discarded sneakers and wood-paneled shot-gun houses that bear traces of their histories. Birch’s recent work questions the role that history plays in determining our present and future. His installation for Changing Course: Reflections on New Orleans Histories presents new works that focus on roots and bones\, the largely invisible structures that both sustain and support what we see above and around them. At the same time\, his work will refer museum visitors to associated artwork and performances staged offsite at a community-driven arts space that Birch is creating in New Orleans’ Seventh Ward. \nABOUT TEACHING BEYOND DOCTRINE: PAINTING AND CALLIGRAPHY BY ZEN MASTERS\nPainting and calligraphy by Zen monks has a long history in Japan. Introduced from China in the twefth century\, Zen (meaning “meditation”) has its origins in the teachings of the Buddha\, the sixth-century BCE Indian prince who taught that it was possible to be freed from suffering and the cycles of rebirth. \nThe paintings and works of calligraphy on view in NOMA’s Art of Japan Gallery were created by Zen masters during the Edo period (1615–1868). The most influential of these\, Hakuin Ekaku (168–1769)\, is credited with creating a new visual language for Zen\, by dramatically expanding its subjects and themes to include Shinto gods\, Confucian maxims\, Japanese legend\, folklore\, and scenes from everyday life. Hakuin’s immediate followers\, along with later generations of Zen masters\, have drawn on this rich visual vocabulary to the present day. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

The films will be screened as part of Friday Nights at NOMA programming. \n\nFriday\, July 6\, 7 pm: Tchoupitoulas\nFriday\, July 20\, 7 pm: The Sons of Tennessee Williams\nFriday\, July 27\, 7 pm: Mr. Cao Goes to Washington\nFriday\, August 3\, 6 pm: Prejudice and Pride\nFriday\, August 10\, 7 pm: Piano Players Rarely Ever Play Together\nFriday\, August 17\, 7 pm: By Invitation Only\n\nABOUT TCHOUPITOULAS\nTchoupitoulas is a story of the New Orleans night. It is a visually exhilirating and aurally immersive record of one night in the many lives of a thriving nocturnal populace. Three young boys act as our wide-eyed conduits to a parade of entertainers and revelers as they dance through the lamp-lit streets and doorways of the Crescent City. From dusk to dawn\, viewers explore the lives and locales of one of the world’s most unique cities. In moments\, vignettes\, performances\, and exchanges\,Tchoupitoulas is a kaleidoscopic odyssey into another side of New Orleans. Described by The New York Times as “a heady hybrid of documentary and dream” the film is “alive with the risk and curiosity of youth\, and unapologetic in insisting that the pursuit of fun can be a profound and transformative experience.” (2012 | Not rated | 1 hour\, 20 minutes) \nWatch the trailer: \n \n  URL:https://nomastaging.org/event/picturing-us-film-series-tchoupitoulas/ CATEGORIES:NOMA at Night ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nomastaging.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/tchou-jumbo.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20180706T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20180706T210000 DTSTAMP:20251106T233503 CREATED:20180521T001950Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190530T123818Z UID:35806-1530896400-1530910800@nomastaging.org SUMMARY:Friday Nights at NOMA: Music by Baron Ahmon | Lee Friedlander Gallery Talk | Screening of Tchoupitoulas DESCRIPTION:Friday Nights at NOMA opens the museum’s doors for many interesting activities throughout the year: live music\, movies\, children’s activities\, and more.
