SUMMARY:Lina Iris Viktor in Conversation with Renée Mussai
DESCRIPTION:Join Renée Mussai\, Senior Curator and Head of Curatorial\, Archive & Research at Autograph in London\, as she speaks with artist Lina Iris Viktor\, whose work is currently on view in the Great Hall in Lina Iris Viktor: A Haven. A Hell. A Dream Deferred. The lecture is free with museum admission. \nABOUT RENÉE MUSSAI\nRenée Mussai is Senior Curator and Head of Curatorial\, Archive and Research at Autograph\, a London-based international\, nonprofit photographic arts charity\, with a remit in photography and film addressing cultural identity\, race\, representation and human rights. A scholar-curator with a special interest in African\, Black European and diasporic lens-based practices\, Mussai publishes and lectures internationally on photography\, curatorial activism and cultural politics. \nSince 2009\, she has been a regular guest curator and former non-resident fellow at the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research at Harvard University. She is presently a Research Associate in the Visual Identities in Art and Design Research Centre\, University of Johannesburg\, and PhD candidate in Art History at University College London. She has curated numerous exhibitions in Europe\, Africa and the US \, including the critically acclaimed and internationally touring programmes and gallery installations\, Black Chronicles (2014 – 2018) and Zanele Muholi: Somnyama Ngonyama\, Hail the Dark Lioness (2017 – 2020)\, currently touring the US. Her writing has appeared in artist monographs\, anthologies and journals such as Aperture\, and Nka: Journal of Contemporary African Art.  Her publications include James Barnor: Ever Young (2015)\, Glyphs: Acts of Inscription (2014; with Ruti Talmor) and the forthcoming Black Chronicles (2018/19). \nABOUT LINA IRIS VIKTOR\nLina Iris Viktor is a conceptual artist\, performance artist\, and painter. She lives and works itinerantly between New York and London. \nThe multidisciplinary approach to her work\, which weaves disparate materials and methods belonging both to contemporary and ancient art forms calls into question the nature of time and being. Her works are a merging of photography\, performance\, abstract painting\, along with the ancient practice of gilding with 24-karat gold to create increasingly dark canvases embedded with “layers of light” in the form of symbols and intricate patterns. Viktor regards these dark canvases to be “light-works”. Each provoke a philosophical commentary through material that at once addresses the infinite and the finite\, immortality and mortality\, the microcosm and macrocosm\, in addition to the socio-political and historical preconceptions surrounding ‘blackness’ and its universal implications. \nViktor’s multi-disciplinary practice is informed by a background in film which she studied at Sarah Lawrence College\, and her continued studies within photography and design at The School of Visual Arts\, along with an education in performance arts during high school. Viktor creates her own mythology as a painter\, sculptor\, photographer\, and performance artist. \nViktor has exhibited at Harvard Art Museums and The Cooper Gallery\, Harvard University\, Boston; The Kentucky Museum of Arts & Craft\, Louisville; and Spelman Museum of Fine Art\, Spelman College\, Georgia. Viktor has engaged in critical talks\, panels & lectures at Smithsonian National Museum of African Art\, Harvard University\, New York University\, The Institute of Contemporary Arts (London)\, King’s College London\, The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture\, Saint Louis Art Museum\, and Autograph ABP.

SUMMARY:Under Three Things\, a performance by artist Cristina Molina in Ear to the Ground exhibition
DESCRIPTION:At select intervals throughout the run of the exhibition Ear to the Ground: Earth and Element in Contemporary Art\, New Orleans-based artist Cristina Molina will host a series of intimate guided tours of the exhibition in which she will assume the perspective of the earth\, personified. \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. \nAdmission to NOMA is free on Wednesdays for all Louisiana residents courtesy of The Helis Foundation.

SUMMARY:West African Cinema Series: Pray the Devil Back to Hell
DESCRIPTION:Featuring recent award-winning films from Burkina Faso\, Nigeria\, Senegal\, and the United States\, the West African Cinema Series is presented in conjunction with the exhibition Lina Iris Viktor: A Haven. A Hell. A Dream Deferred. \n\nSaturday\, September 29\, 2 pm: Sembene! (Not rated\, 2015)\nSaturday\, October 13\, 2 pm: Green White Green (Rated PG\, 2017)\nSaturday\, December 8\, 2 pm: Borders (Not rated\, 2017)\nSaturday\, December 15\, 2 pm: Pray the Devil Back to Hell (Not rated\, 2008)\n\nABOUT PRAY THE DEVIL BACK TO HELL\nPray the Devil Back to Hell chronicles the remarkable story of the Liberian women who came together to end a bloody civil war and bring peace to their shattered country. \nThousands of women—ordinary mothers\, grandmothers\, aunts and daughters\, both Christian and Muslim—came together to pray for peace and then staged a silent protest outside of the Presidential Palace. Armed only with white T-shirts and the courage of their convictions\, they demanded a resolution to the country’s civil war. Their actions were a critical element in bringing about a agreement during the stalled peace talks. \nA story of sacrifice\, unity and transcendence\, Pray the Devil Back to Hell honors the strength and perseverance of the women of Liberia. Inspiring\, uplifting\, and most of all motivating\, it is a compelling testimony of how grassroots activism can alter the history of nations. (Liberia | Not rated | 2008 | 1 hour\, 12 minutes) \nWatch the trailer: \n \n

Studies have shown that students enrolled in Young Audiences programs outperformed their peers on standardized tests\, exhibited fewer disciplinary issues\, and had increased school attendance. \nAbout Wolf Trap Institute\nYoung Audiences / Louisiana Wolf Trap has been an affiliate of The Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts since 2010. The Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts\, a program of the Wolf Trap Foundation\, was established in 1981 under a grant from the Head Start Bureau of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services serving children birth through kindergarten. The goal of the Institute is to provide early childhood educators with professional development training in the use of performing arts techniques within educational curriculum goals and outcomes for young children. The infusion of arts-based techniques into daily routines provides powerful teaching strategies that can be used to enhance all areas of development\, including emergent literacy\, self-esteem and socialization\, problem solving\, receptive and expressive language\, motor skills and self-regulation\, science and math\, conceptualization\, and creativity\, in order to provide a solid foundation for all future learning. \n  \n \n
