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.

SUMMARY:Film Screening and Q&A with Artist Hervé Youmbi (Off-Site)
DESCRIPTION:Please note this program takes place at Alliance Française de La Nouvelle-Orléans at 1519 Jackson Avenue in New Orleans. \nIn conjunction with the exhibition New African Masquerades: Artistic Innovations and Collaborations\, Alliance Française de La Nouvelle-Orléans presents a screening of the experimental documentary Visages de masques\, directed by Hervé Youmbi. \nFollowing the film\, Youmbi will share more about the project in a conversation with Amanda M. Maples\, NOMA’s Françoise Billion Richardson Curator of African Art. \nFree but registration is required. \nRegister Now \nAbout the Film\nThis experimental documentary film highlights Cameroonian visual artist Hervé Youmbi’s conceptual artistic project Visages de masques. The film expresses his unique creative fusion of documentary and art film genres. Visages de masques delves into the creation of hybrid masks designed to enrich and expand the canon of ritual societies in West Cameroon and beyond. The film highlights the characters\, the challenges\, and the rich collaborations that make it possible to produce formally ambiguous masks that move fluidly between the global contemporary art scene and African ritual ceremonial contexts. It interrogates the impact of colonization on the production of ritual life and masking in Africa today\, and stands in opposition to the clichés and categorizations that confine the reception of signs and meanings from Africa. As originator of the Visages de masques project\, Hervé Youmbi\, directs this film that focuses on the multiple relationships that collaborations entail\, and profiles rich accounts from experts in the visual arts sector about the layers of meaning\, critique\, and innovation embedded in Youmbi’s unique vision.

SUMMARY:Cross-Cultural Conversations: Creative Assembly and ARCAthens
DESCRIPTION:Join us in NOMA’s Lapis Center for the Arts for an enlightening evening of cross-cultural dialogue with ARCAthens resident artists Angelo Plessas and Steffi Stouri and two of NOMA’s Creative Assembly Cohort members\, Carl Harrison Jr. and LaVonna Varnado-Brown. These artists with diverse backgrounds will share their experiences\, perspectives\, and creative processes.  \nThrough an open exchange\, attendees will gain insight into how art serves as a universal language\, transcending geographical boundaries\, and fostering connections among people from varied cultural backgrounds. In conversation with NOMA’s Creative Assembly Cohort members\, the visiting artists will explore themes of identity\, representation\, and the power of artistic expression. \nThis program is included with with museum admission\, which is free for Louisiana residents every Wednesday courtesy of The Helis Foundation.  \n\nABOUT ARCATHENS\nBased in New York City\, ARCAthens was created in 2017 to provide opportunities and support to visual artists\, curators\, and scholars through its artist residency programs. The inaugural NOLA/NYC Research Fellowship gives Greek artists and curators the opportunity to focus on cultural exchange and community engagement in two American cities: New Orleans and New York City. Visit ARCAthens to learn more about the organization and their programs. \nLearn More \n\nAbout the Speakers\nAngelo Plessas lives and works between Athens and Kymi\, Greece. He explores the intersection of spirituality and the networked world\, investigating how ancient\, folk\, and cybernetic histories intertwine. By weaving together elements from the spiritual and the online realms\, Plessas creates spaces that challenge the notion of binaries—material versus virtual\, human versus machine\, past versus future—proposing instead a fluid reality where all these dimensions converge. His work spans performances\, artist residencies\, artist’s books\, interactive websites\, quilted sculptures\, neon installations\, and educational projects. His work has been exhibited in Documenta 14\, the 8th Thessaloniki Biennale\, the Onassis Foundation\, the 8th Biennale of Gherdëina\, the Serralves Foundation\, and the 13th Gwangju Biennale in S. Korea. Other projects have also been exhibited in The Museum of Contemporary\, Chicago; the Jeu de Paume\, Paris; the DESTE Foundation\, and the National Museum of Contemporary Art\, Athens. He is the founder of the independent space P.E.T. Projects in Athens. He won the DESTE Foundation Prize in 2015. \nSteffi Stouri is an independent curator and researcher based in Athens\, specializing in feminist epistemologies\, archival practices\, and sonic art. With an academic background in Heritage and Museum Studies (MA\, University of Amsterdam) and History and Philosophy of Science (BSc\, National & Kapodistrian University of Athens)\, her work explores the intersections of gender\, identity\, and memory. Her curatorial projects often engage with embodied experiences and fragmented histories\, aiming to challenge dominant narratives through collaborative practices and innovative exhibitions. Notable projects include Otherlands (2024) a site specific exhibition and sonic performance in the archaeological site of Heraion\, Unboxing Callas (2023–2024)\, an archival and group exhibition exploring the legacy of Maria Callas in dialogue with the Greek National Opera’s archive\, and From Cartography to Cookbooks (2021)\, a digital exhibition examining Dutch colonialism through cartography and culinary history. She has also curated sound-focused projects like Chase (2018)\, a sound installation exploring sonic performance and the body\, and Symbiotic Degradation (2020)\, a hybrid exhibition addressing environmental degradation and its artistic representations. Her practice is deeply informed by a commitment to reparative curating\, cultural exchange\, and community engagement. Through the NOLA/NYC Research Fellowship\, she seeks to expand her exploration of sonic art\, while connecting the cultural histories and musical legacies of New York and New Orleans to her ongoing curatorial work. \nCarl Harrison Jr. is a New Orleans–based filmmaker\, artist\, and urban farmer dedicated to preserving cultural heritage and promoting environmental sustainability. As the founder of the St. Roch Apiary and Food Forest\, Harrison creates spaces for community engagement\, combining urban farming with beekeeping to support local ecosystems and inspire others to reconnect with nature. His short film\, The Buzz of St. Roch\, won an Audience Award at the 2024 New Orleans Film Festival and highlights the beauty and resilience of his neighborhood. Currently\, Harrison is touring The Buzz of St. Roch. His exhibition Echoes of the Hive was on view last year at the Tulane School of Public Health. Harrison also directed The Black Schoolhouse\, a documentary exploring the intersection of art\, activism\, and education within New Orleans’ Black community. \nLaVonna Varnado-Brown has worked as an installation artist\, artist advocate\, teaching artist\, and tutor in and around New Orleans and with Beginning with Children\, a Brooklyn–based college and career preparatory program). Varnado-Brown creates mixed-media visual art engaging with Afrofuturism\, history\, the divine feminine\, and floral motifs. Varnado-Brown explores Afrofuturism as a cultural aesthetic to navigate the intersection of art and history and inspire action in the now by creating space for joy. Varnado-Brown finds inspiration in the community through facilitating workshops that create intentional space to engage in creative grounding practices that raise our spatial awareness and kinesthetic responses to one another and our environment.

SUMMARY:Bookbinding Workshop with LaVonna Varnado-Brown and Jennella Young
DESCRIPTION:Join Creative Assembly member LaVonna Varnado-Brown and Brooklyn based artist Jennella Young for a creative experience with bookbinding. Explore how women have stitched together culture and community across time and space. \nThis program for adults ages 18 and up threads together concepts of bookbinding\, using needle and raffia\, taking inspiration from works currently on view in New African Masquerades: Artistic Innovations and Collaborations. \nThis program is free\, but advance registration is required. \nRegister Now \n\nLaVonna Varnado-Brown has worked as an installation artist\, artist advocate\, teaching artist\, and tutor in and around New Orleans and with Beginning with Children\, a Brooklyn–based college and career preparatory program). Varnado-Brown creates mixed-media visual art engaging with Afrofuturism\, history\, the divine feminine\, and floral motifs. Varnado-Brown explores Afrofuturism as a cultural aesthetic to navigate the intersection of art and history and inspire action in the now by creating space for joy. Varnado-Brown finds inspiration in the community through facilitating workshops that create intentional space to engage in creative grounding practices that raise our spatial awareness and kinesthetic responses to one another and our environment. \nJennella Young is a Brooklyn-based painter and mixed-media artist. Her work elevates the voices and lost stories of women of color and draws from magical realism’s tradition of complex\, beautifully operatic tellings of the history of the Atlantic Slave Trade and colonization. Her practice includes an emphasis on portraiture—primarily of Black and Brown women from archival photos—and incorporates watercolor\, acrylic\, ink\, pastel\, bookmaking\, and journaling. Young holds a BA in Psychology from Lehigh University\, an MA in Counseling Psychology from New York University\, and has completed advanced graduate coursework in art history and library and information science at Pratt Institute. Over the years\, she has merged her academic background with a vibrant creative practice\, enriched by continued study at the School of Visual Arts\, Educational Alliance Art School\, Center for Book Arts\, and Scuola Internazionale di Grafica Venezia. Young has developed city-wide initiatives that expand access to arts\, mentorship\, and youth programming across New York City. She is a 2024 Create Change Fellow with The Laundromat Project and has collaborated with institutions including the Apollo Theater Oral History Project\, Weeksville Heritage Center\, the Guggenheim Museum\, and the New York Historical Society.

Fenton\, and Lisa Homann\nAn exploration of contemporary African masquerade that reveals its cultural contexts\, artistic innovations\, and intersection with museum collection practices \nBy placing masquerade at the forefront of contemporary African art\, this volume shows how masquerade is a dynamic and urban phenomenon shaped by shifting global concerns. Essays examine the lack of institutional recognition offered to present-day masquerade artists and the methods used to curate masquerade art at the museum level. An international group of scholars and artists explore the motivations and creative decisions of masquerade artists\, highlighting their stories and providing a nuanced understanding of masquerade as a contemporary expression of human experience. \nThis lavishly illustrated study includes more than 150 images\, artist’s biographies\, in-depth analyses of masquerade ensembles in relation to themes of collaboration\, economics\, and meaning\, and a discussion of the methodologies for ethically commissioning and acquiring masquerade art.

In addition to honoring traditional Cajun\, Creole\, Zydeco\, Swamp Pop\, Country\, Blues\, and New Orleans songs\, the band also contributes to the next generation of South Louisiana sound with their own original tunes\, performed in both Louisiana French and English. The band started through gatherings at fires\, suppers\, porches\, and levees\,  and you’ll feel this vibrant community of friendship echo through all of their music. These days you can catch  them at dive bars\, dancehalls\, and festivals\, sharing that same good juju and joy.

Lagasse\, Chef and Co-Owner of Emeril’s and Vice President of The Emeril Group\n \nE.J. Lagasse fell in love with food at a very young age. As the son of Chef Emeril Lagasse\, he spent most of his early years in kitchens and at home where the family table was a central part of daily life. Cooking with his dad at home and exploring new culinary experiences were fundamental to his childhood and instilled an appreciation and respect for seasonality and nature that has led to his dedication to culinary artistry. \nAt 13\, he started working in the kitchen at Meril Restaurant in New Orleans\, and throughout high school he continued working for his father at Emeril’s Coastal in Florida. During summer breaks\, E.J. had an opportunity to stage at highly acclaimed Café Boulud in New York City where he gained invaluable experience training under Daniel Boulud. He went on to spend nearly two years training at the celebrated Le Bernardin with Eric Ripert. After graduating from culinary school at Johnson & Wales\, he spent time refining his skills in some of the world’s most renowned kitchens including Core by Clare Smyth in London and Frantzén in Stockholm. \nIn 2022\, E.J. returned to New Orleans to take the helm as Chef\, Co-Owner where he leads the day-to-day restaurant operations. Following an extensive renovation in 2023\, the flagship reopened with a refined menu thatpays homage to the restaurant’s rich culinary heritage while incorporating innovative techniques and modern adaptations of Chef Emeril’s classics. Chef E.J. draws inspiration from the bounty of Louisiana’s produce from the area’s most dedicated farmers\, fisherman and producers to craft an evolved menu that tells a story through food and nature. \nIn 2023\, E.J. received the prestigious ‘New Talent of the Year’ award from La Liste\, the restaurant guide and ranking that designates the world’s best 1\,000 restaurants. ln 2024\, Emeril’s received AAA’s esteemed FiveDiamond Designation and the restaurant became a member of Relais & Chateaux\, joining the list of 80independent restaurants worldwide. Emeril’s also became a new member of Les Grandes Tables du Monde\, joining 195 extraordinary restaurants across 23 countries. \n \nFood Stations and a Special Progressive Menu Inspired by the Exhibition from Ralph Brennan Catering and Events at Café NOMA\n \nLive Music from the Grammy-Nominated Cameron Dupuy and the Cajun Troubadours\n \nBorn and raised in a suburb of New Orleans\, Cameron became infatuated with the sounds of Cajun music at an early age\, which is appropriate being the son of Cajun musician\, Michael Dupuy. His father often took him to gigs where Cameron would always be on stage strumming a guitar\, banging on spoons\, or any thing he could get his hands on. As a result of Hurricane Katrina\, Cameron was exposed to Cajun music a little more after evacuating to Lafayette\, LA. On the last day of the evacuation\, Cameron finally convinced “Mr. Rick”\, who let the Dupuys stay at his house for the storm\, to let him play the accordion sitting on the shelf. Mr. Rick was not eager\, since the accordion was used to record a Grammy winning album by Jimmy Breaux\, but he decided to let him play it. He was instantly hooked on the accordion. \nFollowing his return to New Orleans\, he received his first guitar for Christmas. It was his constant hearing of Cajun music that made him want to get his father’s accordion repaired that had been broken for the past few years. After spending several years as a guitarist\, Cameron Dupuy started playing the Cajun accordion at the age of eleven. A breakout performance at The Liberty Theatre in April of 2010 led to a standing ovation\, which earned Cameron and his band “The Cajun Troubadours” an invitation to play at Festival Acadiens et Creoles by Dr. Barry Ancelet. \nCameron\, the eight-time Cajun accordion contest winner\, has now established himself as a favorite among many Cajun music fans in Louisiana. He has now recorded on three CDs; the most recent being The Mid-City Aces featuring Michael Dupuy and Gina Forsyth and the brand new Cameron Dupuy and the Cajun Troubadours self titled album. \nIn November of 2020\, the band’s debut self-titled album\, Cameron Dupuy and the Cajun Troubadours was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category of Best Regional Roots Music Album. \nAnd More!\n\nAbout the Exhibition\nFrench photographer and visual artist Nicolas Floc’h’s Fleuves-Océan project traces the movement of water across our planet\, exploring its flow through varied habitats and representing the ways we are all connected by water cycles and systems. This exhibition pairs vibrant monochromatic photographs of the color of water made under the surface with dramatic black-and-white landscape photographs made along the banks of the Mississippi and its tributaries—from Louisiana and across the country. \nNicolas Floc’h\, The Color of Water\, Water Columns: Mississippi River Delta\, from Empire\, Louisiana to the Gulf of Mexico\, 2022. 288 Pigmented ink prints.
