It is an informal group open to anyone on a month-to-month basis. You do not have to attend every meeting or read every book! In addition to monthly virtual book discussions\, the Book Club meets periodically in person for curatorial programs related to the book selections. \nBooks are selected in advance and planned for the entire year according to the exhibition schedule. Participants are expected to procure their own copy of the selected titles. Most of the titles are available for purchase in store at the NOMA Museum Shop. \nFor more information on the NOMA Book Club please contact NOMA’s Curator of Education\, Tracy Kennan\, at tkennan@noma.org or (504) 658-4113. \nRegister Now \nJanuary 2022\nVirtual Book Discussion Group | Thursday\, January 27\, 12 PM\nStephen Hawking: A Memoir of Friendship and Physics by Leonard Mlodinow\nPantheon\, 2020\, ISBN: 978-1524748685\n \nOne of the most influential physicists of our time\, Stephen Hawking touched the lives of millions. Recalling his nearly two decades as Hawking’s collaborator and friend\, Leonard Mlodinow brings this complex man into focus in a unique and deeply personal portrayal. We meet Hawking the genius\, who pours his mind into uncovering the mysteries of the universe—ultimately formulating a pathbreaking theory of black holes that reignites the discipline of cosmology and paves the way for physicists to investigate the origins of the universe in completely new ways. We meet Hawking the colleague\, a man whose illness leaves him able to communicate at only six words per minute but who expends the effort to punctuate his conversations with humor. And we meet Hawking the friend\, who can convey volumes with a frown\, a smile\, or simply a raised eyebrow. Mlodinow captures the indomitable spirit of his friend\, offering us insights from one of physics’ greatest practitioners about life\, the universe\, and the ability to overcome daunting obstacles. \n\n\n  \n                                               \nEducation and outreach initiatives at NOMA are supported in part by the Zemurray Foundation; the Lois and Lloyd Hawkins Jr. Foundation; The Helis Foundation; The Gayle and Tom Benson Foundation; The City of New Orleans; IBERIABANK; The Wagner Foundation; Janice Parmelee and Bill Hammack; the Diversifying Art Museum Leadership Initiative\, funded by the Walton Family Foundation and the Ford Foundation; Sara and David Kelso; Patrick F.

Participants will meet artists\, get creative\, and immerse themselves in New Orleans’s creative community. \nThe Lilli Lewis Project\nLilli Lewis. Photo by Liz Hogan. \nAs the story goes\, Lilli Lewis should never have been. Before she was born\, Lewis’s mother was told her baby probably wouldn’t survive due to lung trouble\, so the fact that Lewis now makes a living singing with those same lungs is a gift she never takes for granted. Lewis uses her voice to bring what she calls sacred songs into profane spaces\, and though she’s abandoned trying to define her sound\, she hopes her audiences leave shows knowing two things: that they are brilliant as they are\, and that they have the ability to use that brilliance to make a better world. \nThe Lilli Lewis Project is more than a band. It’s a pan-generational cult of radical decency that delivers heart-throbbing\, earnest rock and soul that “makes you want to put your hands in the air\, shout hallelujah and shake your booty for the rest of the night\, with enough energy to power a large city” (Jamie Anderson\, indie-music.com). \nLewis is said to have “Sister Rosetta Tharpe’s virtuoso commitment to her instrument and Odetta’s vocal power\, creating a show that is a force of nature.” The Louisiana Red Hot Records artist has two releases on the label of Dumpstaphunk\, Honey Island Swamp Band\, and 2018 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Cyril Neville. \nThe regular LLP lineup is a cosmic swarm of fellow idealist music nerds: Smokey Brown (Think Less\, Hear More)\, Wade Hymel (Dash Rip Rock)\, Ryan Murray (Marina Orchestra\, Bloco Jacare)\, Ole Oddlokken (Noisewater) and master composer/virtuoso bassist Dr. Jimbo Walsh. Willing to traverse any musical terrain\, LLP bears the spirit of days when everyone still believed music could change the world. \nLearn More \nIn the Galleries\nKeith Duncan (American\, b. 1967)\, Grambling State University Drum Major 2\, 2020\, Acrylic on wallpaper mounted to canvas\, Museum purchase\, P. Roussel Norman Fund\, E-2021-14.1\, Courtesy of the artist and Fort Gansevoort © Keith Duncan \nNEW at NOMA: Recent Acquisitions in Contemporary Art spotlights contemporary art recently purchased or gifted to the museum\, focusing on works by BIPOC\, LGBTQIA+\, and female-identifying artists. The second in a series of exhibitions that began in 2017\, NEW at NOMA reflects the museum’s ongoing commitment to make the art on its walls more reflective of the community that it serves. The installation\, which will rotate over time\, features work by local\, national\, and international artists\, and champions the work of emerging and underrepresented voices\, including those within New Orleans. \nIn 2020\, NOMA dedicated its available acquisition funds to purchasing works by BIPOC artists; more than half of the 20 works acquired are by artists from or working in New Orleans. As NOMA strives to become even more equitable and inclusive\, the museum’s commitment to addressing exclusions in the past by collecting through new acquisitions will continue through 2021 and beyond. \nLearn More \nAbout Rearranging the Planets\nCreative Assembly Cohort member Steve Lands presents Rearranging the Planets\, a new musical performance reinterpreting composer Gustav Holst’s influential orchestral suite The Planets. \nWith his original composition\, Lands uses Holst’s work as a jumping off point to explore the varied relationships civilizations have had to the heavens over time. While Holst structured his suite—which premiered at the Queen’s Hall in London in 1918—around the Solar System and its Greco-Roman mythological namesakes\, Rearranging the Planets casts a broader net to consider how societies around the world have looked to the stars. In the words of planetary scientist Carl Sagan\, “We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.” \nLearn More \nAbout Jane Place Neighborhood Sustainability Initiative\nJane Place Neighbrohood Sustainability Initiative is a community land trust and housing rights organization committed to creating sustainable\, democratic\, and economically just neighborhoods and communities in New Orleans. \nLearn More \nCovid-19 Safety Guidelines\nNOMA’s primary concern is the health of our visitors\, staff\, and community.

Burroughs DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual panel discussion about the life and work of painter\, activist\, and poet Margaret T.G. Burroughs. \nBorn in Saint Rose\, Louisiana\, Burroughs spent much of her professional career in Chicago\, where she was a cofounder of the DuSable Museum of African American History\, the nation’s first independent museum celebrating Black culture. \nNOMA recently acquired the artist’s only self-portrait\, which is now on view in the museum’s modern art galleries. This extraordinary work reflects Burroughs’s lifelong commitment to highlighting the contributions of Black artists to art history. It also illuminates the underestimated role African art played in the history of Modernism.  \nKatie Pfohl\, NOMA’s Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art\, will moderate the discussion with gallerist Dr. Stella Jones; Charlie Johnson\, President of the New Orleans chapter of the National Conference of Artists; and Ndubuisi Ezeluomba\, NOMA’s Françoise Billion Richardson Curator of African Art. \nThe group will discuss Burroughs’s legacy and how this self-portrait helps tell a more complete story of art history—one that looks to a lineage of African art instead of just the Western European canon. \nRegister Now \nThis live virtual panel discussion is free with advanced registration and will take place via Zoom. After you register\, you’ll be sent an email including a link to access the talk on Thursday\, February 10.

He’s got the kind of skill that can only be gained from working with great artists from all walks of life. His experience ranges from shows with R&B/gospel Grammy winner PJ Morton; doing festivals with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band; and tours through Europe with Swiss pianist and composer Florian Favre to studio sessions with the Black Keys; jamming in DC with Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters; playing in big bands with Ellis\, Jason\, Branford\, and Delfeayo Marsalis; and doing a tribute to David Bowie with Arcade Fire. Courage and care are his motivations for music and he’s got more than enough of both to give you a sonic fantasy.\n\n\n\n\nShea Pierre\nA native of New Orleans\, Louisiana\, Shea Pierre started his musical journey at the age of 4. He joined his family’s gospel group\, the Williams Sisters\, and began playing for various churches in the New Orleans area.

Later\, he attended New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA). At an early age\, Jay entered the culture of the historical Mardi Gras Indians. His grandfather handcrafted his first suit\, a tradition that Jay carried with him into adulthood. He still handcrafts his own suit every year. His creativity and his eye for art were instrumental in his success as a tattoo artist. His journey as a tattoo artist\, which began at the age of 15\, took his art to another level. Soon\, his focus shifted to painting on canvas. \nFollowing Hurricane Katrina\, Jay traveled to further his art education. He studied in Washington\, DC\, and Cape Town\, South Africa. ​In December 2015\, Jay presented his first solo art show called Retro●Spective. There\, he introduced a series of paintings focused on his life experiences in New Orleans ghettos in the ’90s. In January 2017\, he presented his second solo art show Year of the Camo\, a series of paintings. He has had the opportunity to present personal art pieces to various celebrities and is honored to share his most recent works with you.

Her tomb is the largest and most richly decorated in the Valley of the Queens. It was discovered in the early 20th century by a team of archaeologists led by Ernesto Schiaparelli\, then director of the Museo Egizio in Turin. The team’s discoveries and the role of Nefertari and other powerful women in ancient Egypt are brought to life through the 230 exceptional objects in this exhibition\, drawn from the collection of the Museo Egizio. These include statues\, jewelry\, vases\, papyrus\, steles\, wooden coffins\, and stone sarcophagi\, as well as tools and various items of daily life from the artisan village of Deir-el-Medina\, home to those who created the royal tombs. \nLearn More \nCovid-19 Safety Guidelines\nNOMA’s primary concern is the health of our visitors\, staff\, and community.

Regularly\, repeatedly\, and with impunity\, queens like Hatshepsut\, Nefertiti\, and Cleopatra controlled the totalitarian state as power- brokers and rulers. But throughout human history\, women in positions of power were more often used as political pawns in a male-dominated society. What was so special about ancient Egypt that provided women this kind of access to the highest political office? What was it about these women that allowed them to transcend patriarchal obstacles? What did Egypt gain from its liberal reliance on female leadership\, and could today’s world learn from its example? \nCelebrated Egyptologist Kara Cooney delivers a fascinating tale of female power\, exploring the reasons why it has seldom been allowed through the ages\, and why we should care. \n\n\n\n\n  \n                                               \nEducation and outreach initiatives at NOMA are supported in part by the Zemurray Foundation; the Lois and Lloyd Hawkins Jr. Foundation; The Helis Foundation; The Gayle and Tom Benson Foundation; The City of New Orleans; IBERIABANK; The Wagner Foundation; Janice Parmelee and Bill Hammack; the Diversifying Art Museum Leadership Initiative\, funded by the Walton Family Foundation and the Ford Foundation; Sara and David Kelso; Patrick F.
