SUMMARY:Book Club Group Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The NOMA Book Club meets monthly to discuss fiction and nonfiction books related to art in NOMA’s collection and exhibitions. 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 book discussions\, the Book Club meets periodically for curatorial programs related to the book selections. Books 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. Meetings are held in person or via Zoom\, determined at the beginning of each month. All meetings begin at 12 pm. \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 \nMAY\nApeirogan: A Novel by Colum McCann\nRandom House\, 2021\, ISBN: 1400069602 \nBassam Aramin is Palestinian. Rami Elhanan is Israeli. They inhabit a world of conflict that colors every aspect of their lives\, from the roads they are allowed to drive on to the schools their children attend to the checkpoints\, both physical and emotional\, they must negotiate. But their lives\, however circumscribed\, are upended one after the other: first\, Rami’s 13-year-old daughter\, Smadar\, becomes the victim of suicide bombers; a decade later\, Bassam’s ten-year-old daughter\, Abir\, is killed by a rubber bullet. Rami and Bassam had been raised to hate one another. And yet\, when they learn of each other’s stories\, they recognize the loss that connects them. Together they attempt to use their grief as a weapon for peace—and with their one small act\, start to permeate what has for generations seemed an impermeable conflict. This extraordinary novel is the fruit of a seed planted when the novelist Colum McCann met the real Bassam and Rami on a trip with the non-profit organization Narrative 4. McCann was moved by their willingness to share their stories with the world\, by their hope that if they could see themselves in one another\, perhaps others could too. \nBOOK DISCUSSION GROUP | THURSDAY\, MAY 27\, 12 pm \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.

SUMMARY:Honoring Juneteenth at NOMA
DESCRIPTION:Join us at NOMA for a day of activities to honor Juneteenth—the annual holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States—and support the ongoing movement for justice\, equity\, and liberation. Come together on the Museum steps for family art-making; experience a moving dance performance co-presented by Edward Spots and Magnolia Dance & Company; view a photographic banner created by students at New Harmony High School; and delve into online programming. Stop by throughout the day to share what honoring Juneteenth means to you. \nAll events and activities are free. To reserve your free ticket for admission to NOMA and the Besthoff Sculpture Garden\, click here.  \nJuneteenth refers to June 19\, 1865\, when Union general Gordon Granger read out federal orders declaring that all people previously enslaved in Texas were free\, nearly two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. Through grassroots efforts\, Black people in Texas reclaimed June 19 from a day of unheeded military orders as the first celebration of “Juneteenth” a year later in 1866\, and it continues as a celebration for Black liberation across the country. To learn more\, see  “What Is Juneteenth?” by Henry Louis Gates\, Jr. \n  \n\n\n\nPrograms and Events\n\nEdward Spots: Motion to Move\n\n\n 2 pm and 4 pm\n\n\n Lapis Center for the Arts\n\n\n \n\n\nMotion to Move is a performance event by renowned dancer and choreographer Edward Spots with Magnolia Dance & Company.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED — TRUST by Kelly Love Jones
DESCRIPTION:Due to Hurricane Ida\, these performances have been postponed and will be rescheduled for a future date. \nThe New Orleans Museum of Art in collaboration with PowerHouse Productions is excited to present TRUST\, a concept and performance by singer/songwriter Kelly Love Jones. \nJoin us in the Besthoff Sculpture Garden amphitheater for an evening of music\, visual art\, dance\, and theater. Jones brings to the stage a star-studded cast: Lakeba Angelle\, Tiffany Morris\, Jamal Baptiste\, Xavier Molina\, and Cameron Watson. \nTRUST invites us to let our guard down and believe in our own power. It asks us to tune into our inner guidance system\, our growth process and our ability to change a circumstance through positive\, collective work. If you missed PITCH DARK presented by New Orleans Airlift at the Music Box Village in 2019\, then TRUST is part two of the series. Like PITCH DARK\, this performance is designed to illuminate the senses. \nDoors open at 6:30 pm\, and the performance begins at 7:00 pm. \nTickets are $30 | $25 for NOMA Members \nEach outdoor performance of TRUST will be limited to 150 attendees\, and masks are encouraged regardless of vaccination status. The museum continues to follow the City of New Orleans’s public health guidelines. Please check our visitor information page for any updates. \n[Photo by Johnathan B. Vasquez]\n\nThe Team\nPowerHouse Productions is a collaboration between two tenacious producers\, Kelly Love Jones and Lakeba Angelle\, that aims to influence and transform the way we view\, experience\, and practice social justice and social relations as a human family. Jones and Angelle use art as a tool to influence positive action and impartial respect for all life. They indulge the art(s) of music\, spoken word\, visual art\, dance\, culinary art\, leadership\, altruism\, and reciprocation to spread their message of egality and civility. \n\n\n\n\nKelly Love Jones\nJones’s artistic\, creative\, and cultural work is centered at the heart of healing\, empowerment\, and forgiveness. She likes to call her music “New Orleans Swag” because it is influenced by and mixes in the traditional rhythms of the Second Line\, R&B\, hip-hop\, and folk. Jones’s music also celebrates legendary artists and their traditions\, like Deacon John and Allen Toussaint\, who through their musicality and songwriting made available New Orleans’ soulful and spirit-filled culture\, the bayou landscape\, and its colorful heritage to people around the world. Jones’s music is a good bowl of gumbo\, mixing in all these traditions to produce songs that honor love\, well-being\, ancestry\, family\, tradition\, and good times. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLakeba Angelle\nCo-producer Lakeba Angelle is a chef\, dancer\, traveler\, educator\, speaker\, consultant\, writer\, and poet. She’s a well-respected liaison in the artist community in many rights\, and her heart is sincere. Described as an “aggregator of resources\, regarding financial matters in particular\, Lakeba’s knowledge and agility in that arena has more often than not made the difference between success or failure of a venture. Lakeba brings a degree of poise and integrity to every project she’s connected with\, that it automatically helps improve the business posture of the artist moving forward” (Lilli Lewis Project). Angelle is a cum laude graduate of Tulane University and a NOWFE bronze medalist.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTiffany Morris\nBassMonsterTiff\, guru of the bass guitar\, has been mastering for more than two decades. She is a graduate of Xavier University and was born in Slidell\, Louisiana. Tiffany has shared many stages with acclaimed artists such as Ellis Marsalis\, Kelly Love Jones\, Joy Clark\, and Cyril Neville’s Swamp Funk Band. BassMonsterTiff is also the resident bassist at Beacon Light Church of Laplace\, Louisiana. BassMonsterTiff appreciates live collaboration with other musicians\, but she also has a strong passion for creating original pieces of her own in her home studio. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nJamal Baptiste\nNew Orleans’s own Jamal Baptiste is a master percussionist and multi-instrumentalist who has traveled extensively throughout the world. He has captivated audiences in the USA\, the Caribbean\, South Africa\, Morocco\, Japan\, Ireland\, Scotland\, France\, and England with his star-studded performances in rock\, funk\, soul\, gospel\, hip-hop\, and R&B. Baptiste is also a songwriter and recording engineer and holds an independent record label\, Jam-All Pro Music Group.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nXavier Molina\nXavier Molina is a dynamic and prolific musician\, singer\, songwriter\, and producer. As a multi-instrumentalist\, Molina plays all of the core instruments (acoustic\, electric\, and bass guitar\, drums\, piano\, and trumpet) with proficiency and skill\, bringing excellence\, depth and heartfelt energy to every song he touches.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCameron Watson\nA dedicated NOCCA student\, pianist\, and multi-instrumentalist\, Cameron Watson is a young artist and entrepreneur committed to excellence. Already at the age of 16\, he has engaged in study with Berklee Music School and Loyola University. Cameron manages his own band called 4 of a Kind and is also a member of Kaleb and the Menz\, Caren Green\, and Cornbread.\n\n\n\n\n  \nContributing Sponsors\nFoundation For Louisiana \nNOMA’s Learning and Engagement Department \nArtist Journey Allen & The Living School NOLA \nJebney Lewis of The CAC \nBrennon Jones of LED ATL \nTulane University Department of Theater \nTulane University Department of Dance \nJazz & Heritage Foundation \nT H R I V E \nVegan Chef NOLA \nLC Consulting LLC \nAFM 174-496 New Orleans \nShacondria “iCon” Sibley \nKesha Mckey \nDorise Blackmon \nMarjorie Wheeler \nPatricia Shelby \nBarry Thomas

SUMMARY:Book Club Group Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The NOMA Book Club meets monthly to discuss fiction and nonfiction books related to art in NOMA’s collection and exhibitions. 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 book discussions\, the Book Club meets periodically for curatorial programs related to the book selections. Books 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. Meetings are held in person or via Zoom\, determined at the beginning of each month. All meetings begin at 12 pm. \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 \nSEPTEMBER\nThe Man in the Red Coat by Julian Barnes\nKnopf\, 2021\, ISBN: 0525658777\n \nIn the summer of 1885\, three Frenchmen arrived in London for a few days’ intellectual shopping: a prince\, a count\, and a commoner with an Italian name. In time\, each of these men would achieve a certain level of renown\, but who were they then and what was the significance of their sojourn to England? Answering these questions\, Julian Barnes unfurls the stories of their lives which play out against the backdrop of the Belle Époque in Paris. \nOur guide through this world is Samuel Pozzi\, the society doctor\, free-thinker and man of science with a famously complicated private life who was the subject of one of John Singer Sargent’s greatest portraits. In this vivid tapestry of people (Henry James\, Sarah Bernhardt\, Oscar Wilde\, Proust\, James Whistler\, among many others)\, place\, and time\, we see not merely an epoch of glamour and pleasure\, but\, surprisingly\, one of violence\, prejudice\, and nativism—with more parallels to our own age than we might imagine. \nBOOK DISCUSSION GROUP | TUESDAY\, SEPTEMBER 28\, 12 pm \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.

SUMMARY:Book Club Group Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The NOMA Book Club meets monthly to discuss fiction and nonfiction books related to art in NOMA’s collection and exhibitions. 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 book discussions\, the Book Club meets periodically for curatorial programs related to the book selections. Books 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. Meetings are held in person or via Zoom\, determined at the beginning of each month. All meetings begin at 12 pm. \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 \nOCTOBER\nSontag: Her Life and Work by Benjamin Moser\nEcco\, 2021\, ISBN: 0062896407\n \nNo writer is as emblematic of the American twentieth century as Susan Sontag. Mythologized and misunderstood\, lauded and loathed\, a girl from the suburbs who became a proud symbol of cosmopolitanism\, Sontag left a legacy of writing on art and politics\, feminism and homosexuality\, celebrity and style\, medicine and drugs\, radicalism and Fascism and Freudianism and Communism and Americanism\, that forms an indispensable key to modern culture. She was there when the Cuban Revolution began\, and when the Berlin Wall came down; in Vietnam under American bombardment\, in wartime Israel\, in besieged Sarajevo. She was in New York when artists tried to resist the tug of money—and when many gave in. No writer negotiated as many worlds; no serious writer had as many glamorous lovers. Sontag tells these stories and examines the work upon which her reputation was based. It explores the agonizing insecurity behind the formidable public face: the broken relationships\, the struggles with her sexuality\, that animated—and undermined—her writing. \nBOOK DISCUSSION GROUP | THURSDAY\, OCTOBER 28\, 12 pm \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.
