SUMMARY:Gallery Talk on John Scott: Blues Poem for the Urban Landscape with Ayo Scott
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the galleries each Wednesday for weekly talks with artists\, curators\, and other special guests. During these casual conversations\, we’ll take a close look at different works currently on view at NOMA. \nThis week\, join Ayo Scott\, local artist and son of John Scott\, in NOMA’s Great Hall for a discussion on John Scott’s print series Blues Poem for the Urban Landscape. This talk will be offered at 12:30PM. \nFree with museum admission. Louisiana residents receive free admission to NOMA on Wednesdays courtesy of The Helis Foundation. When you arrive at NOMA\, check in at the front desk for directions to the appropriate gallery. \n\nAbout Ayo Scott\nAyo Scott was born from and into art. By age 7\, he’d cast bronze and made paper from blue jeans under the tutelage of his renowned father\, Macarthur fellow John Scott. A lifelong resident of New Orleans\, Scott attended St. Augustine High School for a year\, graduating from Ben Franklin in 1998. On any given day\, Ron Bechet\, Martin Payton\, Ellis Marsalis and a host of other artists could be found at the Scott home talking art and inspiring Scott’s path. Scott received his bachelor’s of art from Xavier University in 2003\, continuing his master’s degree at The Institute of Design in Chicago\, although he would ultimately leave the program after Hurricane Katrina to rebuild his parents’s home. Scott’s early series spoke to his journey as the son of an artist\, the 2004 Tsunami in the Indian Ocean\, and his own post-Katrina reclaiming of New Orleans. Collectively with friends\, Scott started his design and clothing company\, NOYO Designs Inc. and an open mic showcase highlighted by spoken word poetry\, music and visual art named Pass It On in tribute to his father’s mantra. A favorite of many for Scott’s portraits of New Orleanians\, the artist’s most recognizable works are his large-scale murals along Homer Plessy Way\, on the wall of the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities and at Louis Armstrong Airport memorializing Leah Chase and several other places around the city of New Orleans. Over the years\, Scott has worked in commercial graphic design while building on his art. Scott’s work incorporates digital design\, paint\, wood\, cloth\, paper\, and found objects.

This is a film about the process\, what happens all the way up to the presentation of the suit\, and how the practice is a one-of-a-kind creative and cultural outlet for the younger generation involved. \n\nAbout the Speakers\nAlexandra Kern is an award-winning filmmaker whose work explores how we inform the next generation in our complex cultures. Growing up in New Orleans has taught her how crucial culture and art are in shaping future generations and how the family extends outside the home. She has produced commercial and independent acclaimed projects for artists such as Dua Lipa and Lil Nas X. Her directorial debut\, the short documentary Wild Magnolias\, screened at multiple Oscar-qualifying film festivals across the country where it found a permanent stay in the historical archive at the New Orleans Jazz Museum as well as online at Short of the Week and Aeon Magazine. The film won best short documentary for 2024’s Best of NFMLA. Her next short documentary Stud Country is currently on its festival circuit\, having screened at Tribeca Film Festival winning the Challenger Spirit award and winning the Grand Jury Prize for Best Short Doc at Full Frame Film Festival making it Oscar-qualifying. The film is available online through the Los Angeles Times. \nBo Dollis Jr.’s entire life has been shaped and spurred by Black Masking Indian culture. He masked for the first time at the age of ten\, though his parents\, Big Queen Laurita Dollis and the late Bo Dollis Sr.\, Big Chief of the Wild Magnolias\, wanted him to wait a few more years before he participated fully. Determined to mask\, Bo Dollis Jr. managed to get his mother’s attention in that regard when he destroyed one of her beaded purses and started sewing on his own. No one could hold him back after that bold and decisive move\, and the young Dollis took his first steps toward becoming a Big Chief. Bo Dollis Jr. took on the title of of Big Chief in 2006\, and assumed leadership of the Wild Magnolias in 2012 at the behest of his father. Bo Dollis Jr. has masked and performed with the band throughout most of his life\, in venues all over New Orleans including Tipitina’s and the House of Blues\, and at multiple Jazz Fests. He and the band played the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta\, Georgia\, as well as at the White House in 2011 for President Obama when Bo Dollis Sr.\, was awarded a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship.

SUMMARY:Tulane Maya Symposium Keynote Address with Dr. Marcello Canuto: "Precocious Pioneering\, Steady Scholarship: M.A.R.I.’s Century of Indigenous Research and Partnership"
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the centennial of the Middle America Research Institute (M.A.R.I.)\, director Dr. Marcello A. Canuto gives a lecture in NOMA’s Lapis Center for the Arts: “Precocious Pioneering\, Steady Scholarship: M.A.R.I.’s Century of Indigenous Research and Partnership.” \nThis program is free and open to the public. Registration is encouraged. Doors open at 6 pm. The talk is at 6:30 pm\, followed by a reception in the Coleman Courtyard with small bites by Café NOMA.  \nRegister Now \nAbout the Lecture\nSince 1924\, the Middle American Research Institute (M.A.R.I.) at Tulane University has conducted groundbreaking research on Indigenous cultures across Mexico and Central America. From pioneering excavations at ancient Maya cities like Uxmal to cutting‐edge lidar surveys\, robust collection digitization\, and community‐based collaborations\, M.A.R.I. has consistently advanced scholarship and preservation efforts. As M.A.R.I. celebrates its centennial\, this presentation reflects on the Institute’s achievements\, its continued dedication to honoring Indigenous perspectives\, and its evolving role in highlighting Indigenous perspectives and bridging past and present. \nAbout Marcello A. Canuto\nMarcello A. Canuto is currently Director of the Middle American Research Institute and Professor of Anthropology at Tulane University. He received his BA from Harvard University in 1991 and his PhD from the University of Pennsylvania in 2002. Before coming to Tulane in 2009\, he was an Assistant Professor at Yale University. \nHe has undertaken archaeological excavations in the Maya region\, South America\, India\, Nnorth Africa\, and the northeast US. His primary research interest in the Maya area has been on the integrative mechanisms that the ancient Maya used to build and maintain a socio-politically complex society throughout both the Preclassic and Classic periods. More broadly\, his interests include household and community dynamics\, the development of socio-political complexity in ancient societies\, the definition of identity through material culture\, and the modern social contexts of archaeology in Mesoamerica. His past research in Honduras investigated the nature of ethnic diversity at Copan.  \nHe now co-directs a project in the understudied Northwest Peten\, Guatemala where he investigates the construction of social categories and the mechanisms by which complex socio-political organizations develop and were maintained. \nAbout the Middle American Research Institute\nFounded in 1924\, the Middle American Research Institute (MARI) at Tulane University strives to promote greater understanding of the vibrant and diverse cultures of Middle America. It stewards an extensive collection of textiles\, artifacts\, and an archive of letters\, field notes\, maps\, and photographs from the scores of field projects it has sponsored and continues to sponsor. We strive to make these accessible to researchers and the general public through a variety of exhibitions\, workshops\, and symposia. \nFurthermore\, MARI continues to support anthropological\, archaeological\, ethnohistorical\, linguistic\, and ethnographic research projects throughout Mexico and Central America.
