The sailing vessel that brought John Winthrop to the shores of the New World in 1630 carried more beer than water. By the 1820s\, liquor flowed so plentifully it was cheaper than tea. That Americans would ever agree to relinquish their booze was as improbable as it was astonishing. \nYet we did\, and Last Call is Daniel Okrent’s dazzling explanation of why we did it\, what life under Prohibition was like\, and how such an unprecedented degree of government interference in the private lives of Americans changed the country forever. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\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.

Visit ARCAthens to learn more about the organization and their programs. \nLearn More \n\nAbout the Speakers\nMare Spanoudaki\nMare Spanoudaki is a researcher\, cultural manager\, and curator who works in broad arenas that relate to social movements\, identity politics\, folk and popular culture\, institutional critique\, communality\, intimacy\, archives\, and exhibition histories. Her education includes a BA in Communication\, Media and Culture from Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences\, an MA in Cultural Policy and Management from City (University of London)\, and an MRes in Exhibition Studies from Central Saint Martins (University of the Arts London).

He was selected for Future Map (2013)\, Catlin Guide (2014)\, and Fresh Faced Wild Eyed (2014) in the Photographers Gallery as one of the top graduating artists in the UK.

Born and raised in the heart of the Crescent City\, Kr3wcial’s music is a sonic journey through the soul of New Orleans itself. With lyrics that delve deep into the city’s intricate layers—from the gritty streets to the transcendent spirit of its people—he weaves a narrative that is both raw and poetic\, reminiscent of the city’s jazz and blues roots. Kr3wcial’s tracks\, often enlivened with the pulse of brass and the rhythm of New Orleans\, serve as a compelling commentary on the city’s multifaceted nature. Through his verses\, he explores themes of resilience\, identity\, and social consciousness. Beyond the studio\, Kr3wcial is a community advocate\, using his platform to inspire positive change. Collaborating with local nonprofits\, he harnesses the unifying power of music to uplift the very city that fuels his creativity.

SUMMARY:Film Screening and Discussion: The Nita & Zita Project
DESCRIPTION:The documentary The Nita & Zita Project tells the story of two legendary New Orleans dancers. The film shows their rise to stardom in the 1920s\, their eventual retirement in New Orleans\, and the thousands of costumes they created. \nFollowing a screening in NOMA’s Lapis Center for the Arts\, Marci Darling (writer\, director\, and producer) and Sharon Gillen (producer) will speak about the film. Guests are also invited to view the costumes of Nita & Zita from 5–5:30 pm. \nThis event is free and open to the public. \n\nAbout the Film\nThe Nita & Zita Project tells the story of legendary 1920s New Orleans dancers Nita and Zita\, two Jewish Hungarian sisters who immigrated to the United States to blaze their own trail as contortionist acrobatic performers. They rose to international stardom and danced around the world as glittering globetrotters\, through multiple wars\, before retiring to New Orleans\, where they became recluses and painted their Creole cottage top-to-bottom with flowers\, dots\, and vibrant patterns. \nAfter their passing\, their neighbor found thousands of costumes in their home\, which she then sold in a yard sale that lasted five years. Their story of resilience and ecstatic creativity as artists has inspired countless artists\, who have created award-winning plays\, dance tributes\, paintings\, and poetry based on the extraordinary story of these sisters. \n\nAbout the Speakers\n\nMarci Darling\nMarci Darling has been a storyteller for decades. Darling has written five bestselling books and her writing has appeared in such esteemed publications as the Boston Globe\, the New York Times\, and Louisiana Homes and Gardens. She worked as a professional belly dancer\, circus acrobat\, contortionist–illusionist\, and burlesque dancer for ten years\, dancing on tour with The Go-Go’s\, the B-52’s\, Paul McCartney\, and many others. She is Adjunct Faculty at Endicott College\, where she instructs educators on integrating the arts into teaching strategies. Darling also holds a Master’s of Education from Harvard University\, a bachelor’s degree in English and Creative Writing from the University of California\, Los Angeles\, and a certificate in writing from Stanford Univerisity. The Nita & Zita Project is her first film and serves as a tribute to her dance partner and soulmate Kim Murphy\, who passed away in 2018. \n\nSharon Gillen\nDr. Sharon Gillen is a self-described “perfectly imperfect human who finds great joy in approaching life as an opportunity for learning.” Gillen is a medical doctor and was drawn to the profession as a way to help heal people. More recently\, she has realized the power of healing through storytelling and feels called to honor her ancestors by connecting more deeply to the divine feminine and her Jewish heritage. She is a descendant of persecuted Jews from the Baia Mare area in Romania\, the same area as Nita & Zita. She is a lover of all things film and has served on the board of the New Orleans Film Society. \n \nTrixie Minx\nBurlesque performer\, producer\, and educator Trixie Minx is a leader in the preservation and innovation of the Art of Tease. Known for her classic yet playful style of dance\, she is also recognized as a premiere burlesque producer with multiple New Orleans-based shows in addition to several custom-created productions for special events through her company Trixie Minx Productions.

One year later\, Americans across the country were clamoring to see his art. How did the controversial leader of the Paris avant-garde break through to the heart of American culture? \nThe answer begins a generation earlier\, when a renegade Irish American lawyer named John Quinn set out to build the greatest collection of Picassos in existence. His dream of a museum to house them died with him\, until it was rediscovered by Alfred H. Barr\, Jr.\, a cultural visionary who\, at the age of twenty-seven\, became the director of New York’s new Museum of Modern Art. \nPicasso’s War is the never-before-told story about how a single exhibition\, a decade in the making\, irrevocably changed American taste\, and in doing so saved dozens of the twentieth century’s most enduring artworks from the Nazis. Through a deft combination of new scholarship and vivid storytelling\, Hugh Eakin shows how two men and their obsession with Picasso changed the art world forever. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\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.

To keep this often overlooked style of music alive\, the band plays a mix of Jump Era classics and original compositions within the idiom. The result is a repertoire that balances energetic uptempo numbers\, slow blues\, and cozy mid-tempo swingers. This breadth of material makes for dynamic live shows that are tailored to the audience. \n\nLive Piano Performance from Joe Krown\nin the Great Hall at 6 pm\nJoe Krown is a Hammond-endorsed artist and is part of the Hammond artist family. He’s played the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival every year since 2001 and the French Quarter Festival every year since 1998. In 2014\, Krown was honored with a Piano Legacy Award\, presented by the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra for being a “Master of Piano.” He is currently touring all over the U.S. and the world as the organ/piano player for the multi-award-winning\, chart-topping Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band. \nCafé NOMA Cocktail Demo with Virna Castillo\nin Café NOMA on the 1st floor at 6:15 pm\nGallery Talk on Rebellious Spirits: Prohibition and Resistance in the South with NOMA’s Decorative Arts Trust Curatorial Fellow Laura Ochoa Rincon\nin the exhibition on the 2nd floor at 6:50 pm\nSwing Dance Lesson\nin the Coleman Courtyard at 7 pm\n\nAbout the Exhibition\nRebellious Spirits: Prohibition and Resistance in the South explores the unique methods in which the South\, in particular New Orleans\, dealt with the passage of the 18th Amendment to the Constitution\, which banned alcohol in the United States. \nLearn More
