SUMMARY:POSTPONED | Healing Through History with Creative Assembly Cohort Member Dianne Honoré

SUMMARY:Soul-Sip at NOMA
DESCRIPTION:NOMA is committed to offering innovative experiences for learning and interpretation and uniting\, inspiring\, and engaging diverse communities and cultures. Throughout the year\, the museum provides an after-hours inclusive programmatic mix of unique experiences in response to art from across time and place. This summer\, NOMA presents Soul-Sip\, an art and wine series blending the sacred and social elements of guided meditation and wine appreciation to relax the mind\, elevate the seven senses\, and savor delicious sips of wine.  \nPerceptions about the cultural practices in museums are ever-changing. However\, one thing consistent within the culture of museums is receptions that include wine. Wine is among humankind’s oldest beverages\, regularly appearing in museums and pictured in paintings authenticated by ancient distilling pottery. It is the beverage of choice to mark exhibition openings\, closings\, receptions\, and other special occasions. \nThe evening includes guided meditation\, wine-tasting instruction\, a curated wine flight\, small bites from Cafe NOMA\, a discussion of select wine-related artwork from NOMA’s permanent collection\, and a little lagniappe! \nGeneral Admission $95 | NOMA Members $75 \nRegister Now \n\nAbout Soul-Sip®\nThe soul is the immaterial part of a human being\, the actuating cause of an individual life. A sip is the act of drinking by taking small mouthfuls. Soul-Sip blends the sacred and social elements of guided meditation and wine appreciation in a 60-minute class designed to relax the mind\, elevate the seven senses\, and savor delicious sips of wine. \nSense of Place Mat\nWhen you sit for meditation\, you use a mat\, cushion\, or chair to help create a calm\, sacred space for your practice. Soul-Sip classes use a placemat as your practice space; doodle\, decorate\, take notes\, roll it up at the end of class\, and take it with you!  \nWine Flights\nAligning what is in a wine glass with who is holding the glass opens a direct path to mindfulness. Soul-Sip wine selections represent an appreciation for the people\, places\, and vineyards who share the journey of sipping. The Vine Life Group curates wine flights for Soul-Sip. \nAbout the Instructor\nDr. Redell Hearn\, Ph.D.\, is Chief Educator at NOMA and the creator and instructor of Soul-Sip. Hearn is a museologist and Certified Chopra Health instructor with four decades of formal and informal study\, experimentation\, meditation\, yoga practice\, workshops\, courses\, seminars\, and retreats in the healing arts.

SUMMARY:Collaborating Across Continents: Developing a Contemporary Masquerade Exhibition for North American and African Audiences
DESCRIPTION:Join the New Orleans Museum of Art for a presentation on contemporary West African masquerade\, in advance of the upcoming exhibition New African Masquerades: Artistic Innovations and Collaborations\, opening at the museum in April 2025. \nThe program will include a panel presentation and discussion with the exhibition’s curators; a first look at immersive documentary film clips from Sierra Leone\, Burkina Faso\, Nigeria\, and Cameroon; a signature West African-inspired cocktail; drumming performances; an opportunity to meet Dr. Aimé Kantoussan\, Research Director of the Museum of Black Civilizations in Dakar; and a virtual presentation from Cameroonian artist Hervé Youmbi. \nAdditional members of the New African Masquerades research team will present their developing scholarship and discuss the project’s ethical methodologies and foundational artistic\, community\, and institutional collaborations. \nThis program is free with advanced registration. \nRegister Now \n\nAbout New African Masquerades: Artistic Innovations and Collaborations\nIn New African Masquerades: Artistic Innovations and Collaborations\, an international team of scholars and artists present the stories of four individual masquerade artists\, their motivations\, artistic choices\, and the patronage and economic networks with which they engage in order to make clear that masquerade is fundamentally contemporary. The show offers fresh research models for contemporary masquerade\, bringing to the fore issues relating to restitution\, ownership\, and research ethics. This is the first major exhibition on contemporary West African masquerade artists to focus on individual creators rather than the typical presentation of masquerades as products of entire cultures\, which undermines the nuanced and layered stories that individual artists and masquerades tell.  \nThe exhibition team is led by Amanda M. Maples\, Françoise Billion Richardson Curator of African Art at NOMA. Co-curators include Jordan A. Fenton\, Associate Professor of Art History at Miami University Ohio\, and Lisa Homann\, Associate Professor of Art History at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Aimé Kantoussan\, Research Director at the Musée des Civilisations Noires/Museum of Black Civilizations (MCN) and Hervé Youmbi\, a leading contemporary artist in Cameroon\, are research collaborators and contributing authors.

SUMMARY:Monuments and Memorials to Queer History
DESCRIPTION:In honor of Pride Month\, join us for a conversation about how artists might create monuments to queer community and history. In a discussion moderated by Charlie Tatum\, Director of Marketing and Communications\, historian Robert Fieseler and artists Ryan Leitner and Ryan “phlegm” Gilbert will share their own practices and reflect upon how they consider celebration\, remembrance\, and the past in their work. \nThe program will also consider other works\, including Jim Hodges’s Craig’s closet\, first created for the New York City AIDS Memorial Park and installed in front of NOMA in June 2024\, and Skylar Fein’s Remember the UpStairs Lounge\, which commemorates the arson of a popular gay bar in New Orleans on June 24\, 1973. \nThis program is free and open to the public. Louisiana residents receive free admission every Wednesday courtesy of The Helis Foundation’s Art for All initiative. \n  \n\nAbout the Panelists\n\nRyan “phlegm” Gilbert\nRyan “phlegm” Gilbert\, a New Orleans-born and -based multidisciplinary artist\, uses mixed-media self-portraiture in works called “ritual dramas” that serve as affirmations of their personal Black universe. phlegm says\, “My work aims to more firmly connect my Black spiritual concept of time\, connecting the past to the present and the present to the future. It’s communally sacred\, personally precious. It attempts to tie all the loose ends of Black ethos\, Black influence\, and Black inspiration into one braid. It is at its core\, an affirmation of life: my life\, the life of my ancestors\, and the life of my community. My work (and by extension my life) makes a production about the necessity and value of Black spiritual presence.” They also penned the mantra “Everything You Love About New Orleans Is Because of Black People.” \n\nRyan Leitner\nRyan Leitner (b. 1986\, South Carolina) is an artist and writer who lives and works in New Orleans. He received his M.F.A. From The Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University in 2016\, holds a B.F.A. From Regents College of London\, and was a participant at the Skowhegan School for Painting and Sculpture in 2023. He is currently a resident at Joan Mitchell Foundation and a collective member at Antenna Gallery. \n\nRobert W. Fieseler\nRobert W. Fieseler is a National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association “Journalist of the Year” and the author of Tinderbox—winner of the Edgar Award and the Louisiana Literary Award\, shortlisted for the Saroyan International Prize for Writing. As a Tulane PhD History candidate and Mellon Fellow\, Fieseler is currently working on his second queer history book\, a finalist for the J. Anthony Lukas Work-in-Progress Award. He lives with his husband and kittens in New Orleans.

SUMMARY:Motion to Move 2024
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Juneteenth\, dancer and choreographer Edward Spots presents Motion to Move 2024 in NOMA’s Lapis Center for the Arts. \nThe performance is the latest in a series of works by Spots exploring themes of freedom\, movement\, justice\, and the spark of change. \nAdvanced registration has closed\, additional seating will be available on a first-come first-serve basis. \n\n\n  \nFrom the Artist\n“On June 19\, 1865\, nearly two years after the legal emancipation of enslaved Africans in the United States of America\, Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay\, Texas\, with news of freedom for over 250\,000 African Americans still enslaved. One year later\, in 1866\, the proud descendants reclaimed June 19 as Juneteenth in recognition of nationwide liberation. After decades of lobbying\, the date was granted Federal Holiday status in 2021. \nAs a proud native of the City of New Orleans\, I am honored to continue the legacy of Minister John Mosley and my first dance teacher\, Mama Baderiwna Rolland. They believed in embedding the history and meaning of Juneteenth into our city’s consciousness. This year’s Juneteenth celebration is a testament to their vision and our progress. It will be a vibrant showcase of Black excellence in the arts\, featuring Black artistic expression in music\, film\, dance\, poetry\, acting\, and visual design. It’s a celebration that entertains and educates\, informing the audience about the profound significance of Juneteenth.” \n\nAbout Edward Spots\nEdward Emanuel Spots was born and raised in the city of New Orleans. Spots has led choreography showcased at the New Orleans Museum Of Art\, the New Orleans Jazz Market\, Tulane University\, Audubon Park\, and digital platforms. Spots is currently on the board of the Tennessee Williams Literary Festival. He has been featured in films\, commercials\, music videos\, press\, and television shows such as So You Think You Can Dance\, Dance Moms\, Bulgaria’s Dancing With The Stars\, Claws\, and a leading role in the movie America directed by Garrett Bradley. Spots was featured in Gambit’s 40 under 40 and has received a Proclamation from the City of New Orleans for his work. Spots teaches at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts\, Loyola University\, the New Orleans School of Ballet\, Ashé Cultural Arts Center\, and Dancing Grounds.

SUMMARY:Assemblage in New Orleans: Artists in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with Kolaj Fest New Orleans\, NOMA will host a panel discussion highlighting the artistic practices and cultural traditions of assemblage and collage in New Orleans. In conversation with Kristina Kay Robinson\, artists Soraya Jean-Louis\, Ryann Sterling\, and Ashley Teamer will share insights into their practices and approaches to assemblage and collage as art forms and cultural connectors.  \nThis event is free and open to the public. \n  \n  \n\nAbout the Panelists\n\nKristina Kay Robinson\nKristina Kay Robinson is an artist\, writer\, and scholar born and raised in New Orleans\, Louisiana. Her writing in various genres has appeared in Art in America\, Guernica\, The Baffler\, The Nation\, The Massachusetts Review\, and Elle among other outlets. Robinson is a 2019 recipient of the Rabkin Prize for Visual Arts Journalism. Currently\, she serves as the New Orleans editor-at-large for the Atlanta-based Burnaway magazine. \n\nSoraya Jean-Louis \nSoraya Jean-Louis is a Haitian-born\, Harlem- and Brooklyn-raised artist\, independent visual scholar\,/educator\, doula\, and medical anthropologist. Jean-Louis utilizes archival and modern media to honor personal and collective ancestors\, reflect on present realities\, and imagine expansive possibilities through collage\, assemblage\, abstract expressionism\, surrealist paintings\, installation\, writing\, and the natural healing arts. She explores speculative possibilities within Black Feminist Futurist frameworks\, lived experiences\, ancestry\, culture\, interiorities\, identity\, and more. \n\nRyann Sterling \nRyann Sterling is a southern Louisiana artist who takes the viewer through a sacred and sometimes secret journey through collages\, mixed media\, sculpture\, and photography. Sterling’s experiences and the delicate intersection of art\, the feminine\, and southern black spirituality\, connects the past to the future while reminding the viewer to remain present.  \n\nAshley Teamer \nAshley Teamer’s collages explore the relationships between the body\, nature\, space\, and time. Teamer uses painting\, sculpture\, photography\, and sound to creatively intervene with indoor and outdoor architecture\, revealing the malleability of our built environment. Through layering images\, Teamer’s invented landscapes reveal relationships between divergent moments. She has been an Artist-in-Residence at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture (2014) and the Joan Mitchell Center (2018). Teamer received a BFA from Boston University in 2013 and an MFA from Yale University in 2022. \n\nFeatured Image Credits: Ryann Sterling\, Rites Through Passage\, 2021.

This program empowers the youth of New Orleans through music education\, academic support\, and mentorship\, while preserving and promoting the unique musical and cultural heritage of our city. The Roots of Music programs teach music history and theory\, instrumental instruction\, ensemble performance preparation\, and studio production. Across three programs\, the Roots of Music serves youth ages 5–18 from low-income households and provides students with hot meals and transportation to reduce common barriers to participation. \nThe Marching Crusaders is an after-school marching band program for children ages 9–14. Young scholars are offered a variety of resources through the program\, including academic tutoring\, music classes\, and performance opportunities. The Marching Crusaders march in Mardi Gras parades throughout New Orleans and perform at various events throughout the rest of the year. This program utilizes music to keep children safe at the most vulnerable times of day and helps them become happy and healthy members of their community. Five days a week\, 12 months a year\, the program delivers over 2\,500 hours of music education and other academic tutoring\, over 30\,400 nutritious hot meals\, 1\,400 bus journeys\, and supplies over 150 instruments for student use. \n\nPrincess Camerian\nPrincess Camerian participates in the creative process in every possible way\, infusing everything with her own personal magic. Camerian has been doing face and body painting for birthday parties\, parades\, festivals\, concerts\, schools\, bachelorette parties\, sporting events\, fundraisers\, and various other occasions in the city of New Orleans and around southeastern Louisiana for over 15 years. For every chance she gets\, Camerian sprinkles beauty and happiness out into the world! \n\nKrewe des Fleurs\nKrewe des Fleurs was founded in 2014 by Laura Dean-Shapiro\, born out of a desire to marry the love of Mardi Gras and New Orleans culture with a more sustainable Mardi Gras. Concerned by the tremendous amounts of waste left behind on parade routes\, Laura dreamed of a krewe that brought to life the float flowers that she loved so much while leaving no waste behind. Now entering its 10th season\, Krewe des Fleurs is a costume collaborative that welcomes female-identifying “Fleurs” to bring their own artistic visions to life. Each year the krewe debuts a new varietal as its costume. While the prototype is designed by a professional artist\, each Fleur builds and decorates her own costume from the ground up\, assisted by her fellow Fleurs. The krewe proudly distributes handmade throws made of recycled materials\, as well as wooden nickels and “seeds as beads” packets\, holding true to its promise of no plastic waste. This year’s varietal will be debuted on Twelfth Night at Armstrong Park\, and the krewe’s Carnival season parades will include Joan of Arc\, Cleopatra\, Iris\, and Orpheus. Environmental sustainability remains at the center of all that we do. \n\nDJ Kuti\nKuti is a DJ\, producer\, and graphic designer from New Orleans. To Kuti\, music is communal\, and the people\, connections\, and visuals fuel the groove while she\, as the curator\, drives the ship. She is also 1/2 of the production duo\, Khromethesia. Influenced by OG dance music\, Afrodiasporic rhythms and soul\, take a stroll with her through all-time funk faves\, classic boogie\, and global ear candy. \n\nEducation and outreach initiatives at NOMA are supported in part by The Gayle and Tom Benson Foundation; the Lois and Lloyd Hawkins Jr. Foundation; The Helis Foundation; The City of New Orleans; First Horizon; Janice Parmelee and Bill Hammack; Sara and David Kelso; Patrick F. Taylor Foundation; The RosaMary Foundation; The Azby Fund; the Louisiana Division of the Arts\, Office of Cultural Development\, Department of Culture\, Recreation & Tourism\, in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts\, a Federal agency; The Collins C. Diboll Private Foundation; Burkenroad Foundation; Marian Dreux Van Horn Education Endowment; the Howard Foundation; Karen and Henry Coaxum; The Bruce J. Heim Foundation; and Laitram. \n
