He regularly performs at the Ace Hotel and the Music Box in New Orleans. \nABOUT CREATE LATE\nExclusively for adults\, kick off your weekend with a glass of wine and an art lesson!

A Hell. A Dream Deferred. explores a mythicized history of the West African nation. Central to Viktor’s gilded portraits is the mercurial figure of the Libyan Sibyl; from the Latin sibyl meaning prophetess\, she is an ancient figure of fate and foresight\, later invoked by eighteenth-century abolitionists as the predictor of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. \nABOUT GHOST DOG: THE WAY OF THE SAMURAI\nA surreal crime drama told as only Jim Jarmusch could\, Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai stars Forest Whitaker as Ghost Dog\, a hit man living in an unidentified but run-down city in what license plates call “The Industrialized State.” Known for his gift of being able to come and go without people noticing him\, Ghost Dog is a self-taught samurai who is obsessed with order and his strict personal moral code\, drawn from the philosophies of the Japanese warriors. 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. (1999 | Rated R | 116 minutes) \nPrior to the screening\, Abbot Richard Collins from the New Orleans Zen Temple will provide a 10-minute introduction \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K.

The mission of NSOL is to provide and promote cultural diversity by offering the opportunity to learn\, perform\, and appreciate symphonic steelpan music. \nABOUT SPRING\, SUMMER\, FALL\, WINTER…AND SPRING\nScreened in conjunction with the exhibition Teaching Beyond Doctrine: Painting and Calligraphy by Zen Masters\, from acclaimed Korean writer/director Kim Ki-Duk comes this exquisitely beautiful and award-winning human drama set on a tree-lined lake where a tiny Buddhist monastery floats on a raft. Under the vigilant eye of Old Monk (Yeong-su Oh)\, Child Monk learns a hard lesson about the nature of sorrow when some of his childish games turn cruel. In the intensity and lushness of summer\, the monk\, now a young man (Young-min Kim)\, experiences the power of lust\, a desire that will ultimately lead him to dark deeds. With winter\, the man atones for his past actions\, and spring starts the cycle anew. With an extraordinary attention to visual detail\, Kim has crafted an original yet universal story about the human spirit\, moving from innocence\, through love and evil\, to enlightenment and finally rebirth.

She will be interviewed on stage by Susan Larson\, host of The Reading Life on WWNO\, New Orleans’s NPR affiliate\, and the author of The Booklover’s Guide to New Orleans. \nThe Arts & Letters Series is made possible through funding from the Patrick F. Taylor Foundation. Additional support is provided by the Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary Festival. \nABOUT SKYLAR FEIN\nSkylar Fein’s immersive installation Remember the Upstairs Lounge commemorates the 1973 arson at the Upstairs Lounge\, a popular gay bar in the French Quarter. 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. 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.

Although she has been compared to Lucinda Williams\, Neil Young\, and Van Morrison\, Lynn epitomizes the hard-to-describe sound of “NOLAmericana” — music rooted in the groove of the Crescent City. \nABOUT #EVERYDAYNEWORLEANS\nAs part of Changing Course\, NOMA\, the New Orleans Photo Alliance and The Everyday Projects have partnered to offer workshops to local schools\, aid organizations and community centers in which students and participants will learn to use photography to share their unique perspectives on life in their neighborhoods. 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. 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.

Regular admission prices apply—NOMA members are FREE—but there is no extra charge for programs or films. All galleries and Café NOMA remain open till 9 pm. \n\n\n\n5 – 8 pm: Art on the Spot family activity table\n5:30 – 8:30 pm: Music by Bamboula 2000\n6 pm: Artist Perspective with Willie Birch on Changing Course: Reflections on New Orleans Histories\n7 pm: Gallery tour of Teaching Beyond Doctrine: Painting and Calligraphy by Zen Masters with Curator Lisa Rotondo-McCord\n\n\n\nABOUT BAMBOULA 2000\nBamboula 2000 is deeply rooted in the soul of Congo Square in New Orleans. 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.

Kasimu Harris\n6:30 pm: Skylar Fein\n7 pm: Willie Birch\n\nABOUT ALFRED BANKS\nThe emergent New Orleans rapper Alfred Banks has garnered critical acclaim from some of rap’s most esteemed publications. In addition to being named one of Complex.com’s 10 upcoming New Orleans MCs\, Banks has been featured prominently on HipHopDx\, Okayplayer & on DJBooth’s list of top indie rappers from Louisiana. Having played at Voodoo Festival\, Buku Festival\, Atlanta’s A3C Festival\, and Austin’s SXSW\, Banks has also made headway in Europe\, starring in a Volkswagen ad campaign featuring his song “HomeComing.” Most Recently\, Alfred’s Song “UnderDogCentral” can be heard in the Netflix Movie Burning Sands. Banks recently released his third LP\, The Beautiful. \nABOUT L. KASIMU HARRIS\nL. Kasimu Harris is a storyteller who uses writing\, photography and video to push the narrative. Images from his War on the Benighted series are a part of the group exhibition\, Changing Course: Reflection of New Orleans Histories.  War on the Benighted  is a narrative constructed reality series about New Orleans public school students who became frustrated with the inequalities in education; they rose up and began a quest to educate themselves. Their grievances include the school-to-prison pipeline\, emphasis on standardized testing\, and a diminishing arts curriculum. \nHarris is a New Orleans native who has participated in twenty group exhibitions across the US\, two abroad\, and three solo photography exhibitions. In 2015\, his work was exhibited in both The Rising and Louisiana Contemporary at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art and garnered coverage in The New York Times and NPR. He also a featured artist in Dandy Lion (Re) Articulating Black Masculinity\, curated by Shantrelle P. Lewis\, a  traveling exhibition with the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago that has traveled to San Francisco\, Miami\, and London. \nABOUT SKYLAR FEIN\nSkylar Fein was born in Greenwich Village and raised in the Bronx. He has had many careers including teaching nonviolent resistance under the umbrella of the Quakers\, working for a gay film festival in Seattle\, stringing for The New York Times and as pre-med student at University of New Orleans where he moved one week before Hurricane Katrina hit. In the wreckage of New Orleans\, Fein found his new calling as an artist\, experimenting with color and composition of the detritus of Katrina. His work soon became known for its pop sensibility as well as its hard-nosed politics. After a few starring roles in group shows\, he had his first solo show in May 2008 at Jonathan Ferrara Gallery in New Orleans. \nIn the fall of 2008\, his Prospect.1: Biennial installation\, Remember the Upstairs Lounge\, shined a spotlight on an overlooked piece of New Orleans history: a fire that swept through a French Quarter bar in 1973\, killing everyone inside. The worst fire in New Orleans history has never been solved. His installation walked visitors right through the swinging bar doors\, and offered visual riffs on politics and sexuality circa 1973. The piece was praised in ArtForum\, Art In America\, The New York Times Magazine and The New Yorker\, among others. \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 will present 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.

Her singing style invites listeners of every age to remember the days when jazz was king. Her choice of songs and brilliant renditions of standards make her shows refreshing and classy. Combine this with her divine appearance onstage and welcoming demeanor\, which creates a uniquely personal entertaining experience\, for both large and more intimate audiences. Perhaps her greatest feature\, however\, is her New Orleans style\, bringing the listener back to the bayous of Louisiana she calls home. Her shows are fun\, sultry\, old-fashioned\, sexy\, and sometimes silly — a musical journey to the Crescent City. \nABOUT JOHN KLINGMAN\nJohn P. Klingman holds a Favrot Professorship in Architecture at Tulane University where he has been a faculty member since 1983. As an architect\, he has been engaged in consulting on projects in the city\, including the US Customhouse with Waggonner and Ball Architects and on Tulane’s Uptown Campus.

Miller led one of the first bands at Preservation Hall after it opened in 1961. The film includes footage of Miller’s last performance\, at the 1971 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival\, along with second line parades and jam sessions in the early 1970s. The film’s title derives from the lyrics in a popular jazz song written in 1902\, “Didn’t He Ramble.” (Not rated | 1972 | 53 minutes). \nWatch the trailer: URL:https://nomastaging.org/event/friday-nights-at-noma-music-by-jayna-morgan-and-the-sazerac-sunrise-jazz-band-gallery-talk-on-lee-friedlander-documentary-till-the-butcher-cut-him-down/ CATEGORIES:NOMA at Night ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nomastaging.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Butcher.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20180615T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20180615T210000 DTSTAMP:20251107T021631 CREATED:20180507T201727Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180608T180633Z UID:34751-1529085600-1529096400@nomastaging.org SUMMARY:Friday Nights at NOMA: Music by Mykia Jovan | Artist Perspective with Carlos Rolón 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.

Her unique voice has drawn natural comparisons to the great Billie Holiday and Erykah Badu\, while her original compositions and live performances have established her as a singular voice in the modern progressive soul scene. Mykia was recently nominated for Best Emerging Artist in 2017 by Offbeat Magazine while her debut album\, Elliyahu\, was named a Top 50 Album of the Year by the publication. The lead single 16 Shots quickly received over 100\,000 streams on Spotify and was included on one of the platform’s official playlists alongside artists Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah and Kamasi Washington among others. \nABOUT CARLOS ROLóN\nArtist Carlos Rolón (b. 1970)\, previously known as Dzine\, is the American-born son of Puerto Rican immigrants. His works question the concept of luxury and craft while exploring questions of identity\, integration\, and aspiration. NOMA is hosting his solo exhibition\, Carlos Rolón: Outside/In through August 26\, 2018. He attended Columbia College\, Chicago\, with a concentration in painting and drawing. Rolón has been recognized for his elaborately crafted paintings\, ornate sculptures and works that come out of American\, Latino\, and uniquely based subcultures. The work often addresses his biography by melding memory and the imaginary with carefully crafted\, hybrid works that are playfully situated between the contradictory worlds of conspicuous consumption and urban artifact. Rolón illuminates how the masculine can become delicate and the how the baroque can be minimal. The artist often channels this approach with site-specific installation work\, vivid large-scale paintings and ornate sculptures in various materials expanding on ideas of self-reflection and imagined luxury. The works ultimately produce a hybrid language of social practice\, painting and sculpture inviting the viewer to engage in discourse and discussion.
