The Overstory is a book for readers who despair of humanity’s selfimposed separation from the rest of creation and who hope for the transformative\, regenerating possibility of a homecoming. If the trees of this earth could speak\, what would they tell us? “Listen. There’s something you need to hear.” From the roots to the crown and back to the seeds\, The Overstory unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fables that range from antebellum New York to the late twentieth-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond\, exploring the essential conflict on this planet: the one taking place between humans and non humans. There is a world alongside ours―vast\, slow\, interconnected\, resourceful\, magnificently inventive\, and almost invisible to us. This is the story of a handful of people who learn how to see that world and who are drawn up into its unfolding catastrophe. \n\n\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.

Three determined artists–Louis Armstrong\, Dave Brubeck\, and Iola Brubeck used this double standard as the central message and take a stand against segregation by writing and performing a jazz musical titled The Real Ambassadors. First conceived by the Brubecks in 1956\, the musical’s journey to the stage for its 1962 premiere tracks extraordinary twists and turns across the backdrop of the civil rights movement. A variety of colorful characters\, from Broadway impresarios to gang-connected managers\, surface in the compelling storyline. \n\n\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.

SUMMARY:Maya Symposium Keynote Address and Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the keynote event of the 18th annual Tulane Maya Symposium\, Mapping Inequality: Lessons from Central Mexico with Barbara E. Mundy\, Robertson Chair in Latin American Art\, Tulane University. A reception for all attendees will follow the lecture. \nThis program is free and open to the public. Advance registration for the keynote address is encouraged but not required. \nRegister Here \nThis page is for keynote event registration only. For more information about the 18th Annual Tulane Maya Symposium: Inequality Among the Maya and to access the full symposium registration\, please visit their website. \n\nKeynote Abstract\nPainted manuscripts of Central Mexico often present images of historic migrations\, led by elites\, and genealogies of ruling families\, set against a backdrop of territory. Cartography\, then\, offers a visual record of the inequality implicit in social hierarchies. At the same time\, as physical objects that had to be created and cared for\, maps depended upon the involvement of a range of social actors and were shaped over time by evolving practices. In this talk\, I turn to a selection of maps from Central Mexico to show levels of social complexity implicated in objects that seem\, on their surfaces\, to offer direct records of inequality. \n \nAbout Barbara E. Mundy\nBarbara E. Mundy’s scholarship dwells in zones of contact between Native peoples and settler colonists as they forged new visual cultures in the Americas. She is particularly interested in the social construction of space and its imaginary\, which was the subject of her first book\, The Mapping of New Spain. Her most recent book\, The Death of Aztec Tenochtitlan\, the Life of Mexico City\, draws on Indigenous texts and representations to counter a colonialist historiography\, and to argue for the city’s nature as an Indigenous city through the sixteenth century. With Dana Leibsohn\, Mundy is the co-creator of Vistas: Visual Culture in Spanish America\, 1520-1820\, an NEH funded project. \nShe serves the editorial board of Estudios de Cultura Náhuatl\, and The Americas\, as well as on the advisory board of the Society of Fellows in Critical Bibliography. Mundy is the past president of the American Society for Ethnohistory (2021-22) and was the 2021-22 Kislak Chair at the Library of Congress. She has received fellowships from the Center for Advanced Studies in the Visual Art (CASVA) at the National Gallery of Art\, and the John Carter Brown Library in support of her work.
