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.

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 \nJune 2022\nVirtual Book Discussion Group | Friday\, June 24\, 12 PM\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOptic Nerve by Maria Gainza\nCatapult\, 2020\, ISBN: 978-1646220021 \nThe narrator of Optic Nerve is an Argentinian woman whose obsession is art. The story of her life is the story of the paintings\, and painters\, who matter to her. Her intimate\, digressive voice guides us through a gallery of moments that have touched her. Fascinating episodes in art history interact with the narrator’s life in Buenos Aires— her family and work; her loves and losses; her infatuations and disappointments. \nIn these pages\, El Greco visits the Sistine Chapel and is appalled by Michelangelo’s bodies. The mystery of Rothko’s refusal to finish murals for the Seagram Building\nin New York is blended with the story of a hospital in which a prostitute walks the halls while the narrator’s husband receives chemotherapy. Alfred de Dreux visits Géricault’s workshop. Seductive and capricious\, Optic Nerve marks the English– language debut of a major Argentinian writer. It is a book that captures\, like no other\, the mysterious connections between a work of art and the person who perceives it. \n\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.

During these casual conversations\, we’ll take a close look at different works currently on view at NOMA. \nThe fleur-de-lis is undoubtedly one of New Orleans’s most prominent symbols\, and today it can be found on everything from football helmets to gates and garbage cans. Beyond the New Orleans Saints and even the French monarchy\, the fleur-de-lis has even deeper roots that stretch to the continent of Africa. In his book Fleur Of The Nile: Remaking The Fleur-De-Lis\, Casey Delmont traces the origins of the fleur-de-lis and illuminates its relationship to the ancient Egyptian lotus. During this special Wednesday gallery talk in the museum’s Lapis Center for the Arts\, Delmont will be in conversation with NOMA’s Community Engagement Curator Nic Brierre Aziz regarding the book\, the history of this popular symbol\, and the layers of complexity that the fleur-de-lis still holds. \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. \nGet Tickets \nTo book your ticket in advance\, click the link above and select the day for the gallery talk you’d like to attend. \n\nAbout Casey Delmont\nCasey Delmont is Chief Creative at Roux Brands\, a Louisiana design firm that focuses on the promotion of cultural products inspired by everything “Cajun Creole.” He graduated from LSU with a degree in art history with specific coursework in ornament and pattern analysis. His early creative involvement with the fleur-de-lis and his interest in symmetry analysis of the symbol led him to pen an engaging story based on substantiative evidence presupposing the Egyptian origins of the fleur-de-lis. His book Fleur of the Nile claims that the fleur-de-lis is an ancient iteration of an archetypical double-flower motif which emanated from prehistoric human ornamentation that began in Africa as far back in time as 35\,000 BCE. Casey has produced over 8 books through Roux Publishing and has written or contributed to two other books including La Fleur De Lis: Histories\, Mysteries\, Recipes and Mixologies of the World’s Oldest Symbol. He is a native and resident of Louisiana and has been recognized as a creative force in the Capital City helping to bring new life to the rich cultural heritage of Louisiana and the Greater South.

Her works comprise an array of media from performance and installation to the glittering table laid for thirty-nine iconic women in The Dinner Party (now permanently housed at the Brooklyn Museum)\, the groundbreaking Birth Project\, and the meticulously researched Holocaust Project. She designed the monumental installation for Dior’s 2020 Paris couture show and\, in 2019\, established the Judy Chicago Portal\, which will help to accomplish her lifelong goal of overcoming the erasure that has eclipsed the achievements of so many women. \nThe Flowering is her vivid and revealing autobiography\, fully illustrated with photographs of her work\, as well as personal images and a foreword by Gloria Steinem. This narrative weaves together the stories behind some of Chicago’s most significant artworks and her journey as a woman artist\, from decades of experience\, of how misogyny\, racism\, and other prejudices intersect to erase the legacies of artists who are not white and male. Chicago reinforces her message of resilience for a new generation of artists and activists. \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.

Rituals around funerals and burials have long been of popular interest\, and many of these traditions can be seen in contemporary African-American culture.

Her works comprise an array of media from performance and installation to the glittering table laid for thirty-nine iconic women in The Dinner Party (now permanently housed at the Brooklyn Museum)\, the groundbreaking Birth Project\, and the meticulously researched Holocaust Project. She designed the monumental installation for Dior’s 2020 Paris couture show and\, in 2019\, established the Judy Chicago Portal\, which will help to accomplish her lifelong goal of overcoming the erasure that has eclipsed the achievements of so many women. \nThe Flowering is her vivid and revealing autobiography\, fully illustrated with photographs of her work\, as well as personal images and a foreword by Gloria Steinem. This narrative weaves together the stories behind some of Chicago’s most significant artworks and her journey as a woman artist\, from decades of experience\, of how misogyny\, racism\, and other prejudices intersect to erase the legacies of artists who are not white and male. Chicago reinforces her message of resilience for a new generation of artists and activists. \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.

Renowned historian Glenn Adamson turns that narrative on its head in this innovative account\, revealing makers’ central role in shaping America’s identity. Examine any phase of the nation’s struggle to define itself\, and artisans are there-from the silversmith Paul Revere and the revolutionary carpenters and blacksmiths who hurled tea into Boston Harbor\, to today’s “maker movement.” \nAdamson shows that craft has long been implicated in debates around equality\, education\, and class. Artisanship has often been a site of resistance for oppressed people\, such as enslaved African-Americans whose skilled labor might confer hard-won agency under bondage\, or the Native American makers who adapted traditional arts into statements of modernity. \n\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.
