The Center is dedicated to preserving this history by providing a home to manuscripts\, photographs\, books\, periodicals\, and works of art that bear witness to a post worth sharing with the future. \nAbout The Descendants Project\nThe Descendants Project is an emerging organization committed to the intergenerational healing and flourishing of the Black descendant community in the Louisiana river parishes. The lands of the river parishes hold the intersecting histories of enslavement\, settler colonialism\, and environmental degradation.\n​\nWe are descended from the enslaved men\, women\, and children who were forced to labor at one or more of the hundreds of plantations that line the Mississippi River from New Orleans to Baton Rouge. Starting in the 1970s\, large industrial  petrochemical plants began purchasing the land of these plantations still surrounded by vulnerable Black descendant communities. The region is now known as “Cancer Alley” for the extreme risks of cancer and death due to pollution. The community faces many other problems such as food insecurity\, high unemployment\, high poverty\, land dispossession\, and health issues that stem from a culture of disregard for Black communities and their quality of life.\n​​\nThrough programming\, education\, advocacy\, and outreach\, The Descendants Project is committed to reversing the vagrancies of slavery through healing and restorative work. We aim to eliminate the narrative violence of plantation tourism and champion the voice of the Black descendant community while demanding action that supports the total well-being of Black descendants. \nAbout the River Road African American Museum \nThe mission of the River Road African American Museum (RRAAM) is to educate visitors about the history and culture of African Americans in the rural communities of south Louisiana through the collection\, preservation\, and interpretation of art\, artifacts\, and historic buildings. \nAbout Dawoud Bey: Elegy\nDawoud Bey: Elegy draws upon the factual and imagined realities of the early African American presence in the United States. Including forty-five black-and-white photographs and two film installations\, the exhibition elucidates the deeply profound historical memory still embedded in geography at historically significant sites in Virginia\, Louisiana and Ohio. Through the interweaving of three photographic series—”Stony the Road “(2023)\, “In This Here Place” (2019)\, and “Night Coming Tenderly\, Black” (2017)—Bey offers a framework through which to conceptualize the landscapes of Virginia\, Louisiana\, and Ohio (respectively) through images that convey the memories of our shared American past. \nLearn More

SUMMARY:Elders Sacred Talk Series: Martin Payton and Eric Waters
DESCRIPTION:NOMA and the Congo Square Preservation Society present the Elders Sacred Talk Series with prolific elder New Orleanians\, celebrating the lives they lead while providing the opportunity for visitors to learn firsthand about the impact they’ve had on our city. This conversation between Martin Payton and Eric Waters will be moderated by Ron Bechet.\n\n\nThis program is included with museum admission\, which is free for Louisiana residents every Wednesday courtesy of The Helis Foundation’s Art for All initiative.\n\n\nAbout the Speakers\nMartin Payton\n \nMartin Payton\, a native of New Orleans\, has sustained a distinguished career as both artist and educator for more than five decades. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Xavier University of Louisiana and a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles. Following his return to New Orleans\, Payton embarked on an academic career that included appointments at Southern University at New Orleans\, Southern University in Baton Rouge\, and Xavier University\, where he played a formative role in shaping successive generations of artists.\n\n\nPayton’s artistic practice is most closely identified with his monumental public sculptures and monochromatic constructions\, created through the welding of salvaged industrial steel. By reconfiguring discarded materials\, Payton engages in a process that is simultaneously aesthetic and cultural\, transforming the remnants of industrial production into abstract forms resonant with historical\, spiritual\, and communal associations. His collaborative work Spirit House with John Scott stands as a significant intervention in the visual and cultural landscape of New Orleans.\n\n\nPeyton’s work is represented in major institutional collections\, including the Ogden Museum of Southern Art\, the New Orleans Museum of Art\, the Amistad Research Center at Tulane University\, the William King Museum of Art in Virginia\, and the Rosekrans Runnymede Sculpture Garden in California. Payton’s work is recognized not only for its formal innovation but also for its critical engagement with African American cultural memory and the material legacies of labor and industry.\n\nEric Waters\n \nFor more than four decades\, photographer Eric Waters has served as a central documentarian of Black social life and cultural traditions in New Orleans. A graduate of Dillard University\, he studied photography under the late Marion J. Porter\, whose mentorship shaped his early artistic development. While Waters has been widely sought after as an event photographer\, his enduring reputation rests on his incisive visual record of Second Line parades and the ceremonial pageantry of the Mardi Gras Indian tradition—cultural expressions that lie at the heart of New Orleans’s African American community. \n  \nWaters’s photography captures the dynamism\, movement\, and layered symbolism of Black vernacular performance. His images serve as vital historical archives\, preserving traditions that both affirm and continually reinvent communal identity. His work has been featured in international\, national\, and local media outlets and publications\, including Ties That Bind and Freedom’s Dance: Social Aid and Pleasure Clubs in New Orleans (co-authored with Karen Celestan). He also co-edited SEEING BLACK: Black Photography in New Orleans\, 1840 and Beyond with Kalamu ya Salaam and Shana M. Griffin\, a landmark volume that situates Black photographers within a broader historical and cultural continuum. \n  \nWaters received the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities’ Documentary Photographer of the Year award in 2018 and was named a Joan Mitchell Foundation Artist-in-Residence in 2019. His body of work continues to be regarded as both an artistic achievement and a crucial intervention in the visual historiography of New Orleans’s Black cultural practices. \n  \n\n\n\nAbout Elders Sacred Talks and Art Thrives\nNOMA’s Art Thrives initiative presents creative aging programs designed to support visitors ages 55 and up. In addition to art-making workshops\, courses\, and opportunities for hands-on art-making\, the Elders Sacred Talk Series provides a platform for older adults in New Orleans to share their experiences with audiences of all ages. \nThe Elders Sacred Talk Series is presented in partnership between NOMA and the Congo Square Preservation Society. Art Thrives is supported by E.A. Michelson Philanthropy.

As a New Orleans native of Cuban descent\, Fredo’s culinary style is shaped by his innate appreciation for Cajun cuisine coupled with his Cuban heritage and upbringing. \n At Cane & Table\, he married the two cuisines\, resulting in vibrant\, seasonally driven menus–with the restaurant featured most recently on The New York Times’ list of “The 25 Best Restaurants in New Orleans Right Now.” The recognition joins other accolades for Cane & Table\, including Bon Appetit featuring it as one of the “Five Best New Cocktail Bars in America\,” and heralded as one of the best bars in America by Food & Wine\, Esquire\, Eater\, and THRILLIST\, and one of the best new bars in the South by Garden & Gun and Southern Living. \n At Cure\, Fredo’s small-plate menu complements the craft cocktail menu\, which was recognized by the James Beard Award in 2018 for “Outstanding Bar Program.” And\, at VALS\, as Chef-Partner\, he features a menu of Mexican-inspired cuisine\, from tacos and tostadas to ceviches. Prior to his return to New Orleans\, Fredo spent over a decade in Chicago\, notably withWilliam von Hartz on the seasonal pop-up Flipside Café\, and with Paul Kahan’s One Off Hospitality group. In 2013 he partnered with Analogue Partners and Co-Bar Directors Robby Haynes and Henry Prendergast to create the menu at Analogue\, which debuted in December 2013.

SUMMARY:Book Club: The Other Side: A Story of Women in Art and the Spirit World
DESCRIPTION:NOMA’s book club meets monthly to discuss fiction and non-fiction books related to art in the museum’s collection and exhibitions.  \nIt 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 to participate. In addition to monthly book discussions\, the book club meets periodically for curatorial programs related to the book selections.  \nBooks are selected in advance and planned according to the museum’s exhibition schedule. Participants are expected to procure their own copy of the titles. Selections are also available at the NOMA Museum Shop\, where museum members receive a 10% discount. \nRegister Now \nMeetings are held in person or via Zoom. All meetings begin at 12 pm. For more information or questions\, please email programs@noma.org. \n\nAbout the Book\nThe Other Side: A Story of Women in Art and the Spirit World\nby Jennifer Higgie\n\n\nIt’s not so long ago that a woman’s expressed interest in other realms would have ruined her reputation\, or even killed her. And yet spiritualism\, in various incarnations\, has influenced numerous men—including lauded modernist artists such as Wassily Kandinsky\, Piet Mondrian\, Kazimir Malevich and Paul Klee—without repercussion. The fact that so many radical female artists of their generation—and earlier—also drank deeply from the same spiritual well has been sorely neglected for too long. \nIn The Other Side\, we explore the lives and work of a group of extraordinary women\, from the twelfth-century mystic\, composer\, and artist Hildegard of Bingen to the nineteenth-century English spiritualist Georgiana Houghton\, whose paintings swirl like a cosmic Jackson Pollock; the early twentieth-century Swedish artist\, Hilma af Klint\, who painted with the help of her spirit guides and whose recent exhibition at New York’s Guggenheim broke all attendance records to the ‘Desert Transcendentalist’\, Agnes Pelton\, who painted her visions beneath the vast skies of California. We also learn about the Swiss healer\, Emma Kunz\, who used geometric drawings to treat her patients and the British surrealist and occultist\, Ithell Colquhoun\, whose estate of more than 5\,000 works recently entered the Tate gallery collection. While the individual work of these artists is unique\, the women loosely shared the same goal: to communicate with\, and learn from\, other dimensions. \nWeaving in and out of these myriad lives while sharing her own memories of otherworldly experiences\, Jennifer Higgie discusses the solace of ritual\, the gender exclusions of art history\, the contemporary relevance of myth\, the boom in alternative ways of understanding the world and the impact of spiritualism on feminism and contemporary art. A radical reappraisal of a marginalized group of artists\, The Other Side is an intoxicating blend of memoir\, biography\, and art history.

SUMMARY:"Gathering in the Grief: Visualizing\, Healing\, Living With\, and Honoring the Lost" Workshop with Creative Assembly Resident Artist Horton Humble
DESCRIPTION:Grief is both personal and shared; it comforts yet isolates\, silences yet speaks. Through art\, ritual\, and remembrance\, grief declares: this mattered\, this hurts\, this was loved. \nOn Thursday\, October 16\, from 5 to 7 pm\, join us in NOMA’s Lapis Center for the Arts for a workshop led by Creative Assembly resident and visual artist Horton Humble\, moderator Robin Pharo\, visual artist Veronica Caseras Lee\, musician Ruben Watts\, and licensed marriage and family therapist Khara Scott-Bey. Participants will collaboratively create a large-scale cereal box artwork using materials linked to the five stages of grief\, illuminating how grief shapes creative expression and lived experience. \nWorkshop leaders will also share perspectives on how grief influences art—through a painter’s palette\, a musician’s notes\, and New Orleans’ cultural traditions such as the funeral procession and Second Line. \nThis program is free and open to all. No registration is required for this workshop.  \n\n\nAbout the Workshop Leaders\nHorton Humble\n\nHorton Humble (b. 1970\, New Orleans) is a self-taught painter and sculptor whose work explores themes of resilience\, identity\, and cultural memory. His debut series Debris (2007) used wood from Hurricane Katrina’s wreckage\, followed by Transit Urban (2008)\, created during travels across Africa. \nTime in Lisbon (2012–2015) inspired The Lisbon Series and his first work in ceramics. Returning home\, he co-founded Level Artist Collective and later completed The Guardian (2017)\, a public sculpture for the Helis Foundation’s Poydras Corridor project. His work has been exhibited internationally\, including the Outsider Art Fair in Paris and solo shows in Marseille\, and regionally at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. Humble continues to create large-scale\, expressive canvases while leading workshops and community projects in New Orleans. Horton has permanent pieces at the Ogden Museum and Luciano’s Benetton Imago Mundi Collection in Italy. \n\n\nRobin Pharo\nModerator Robin Pharo is a serial entrepreneur with multiple diverse businesses including Treysta Group\, a multi–faceted firm that specializes in hospitality-based businesses.

From 2000 to 2008\, Veronica was a resident artist at Haven Art in Port Washington\, New York\, contributing significantly to the creative community. In 2008\, she and her family relocated to Michoacán\, Mexico\, where she shifted her focus to working primarily with ceramics and painting\, infusing her work with the cultural richness of her homeland. In 2016\, Veronica moved to New Orleans\, where she currently resides and passionately pursues her art as a full-time artist\, capturing the essence of the city in her diverse and evolving body of work. \n\nRuben Watts\nRuben Watts is a New Orleans-based percussionist known for a style of drumming played in New Orleans usually associated with the Black Masking Indian tradition. Over the years\, he has expanded this style to include other percussion and hand crafted instruments. \nRuben plays with a group called Public Relations and New Orleans Folkloric\, which pays tribute to the ancestral Heroes and Sheroes of our culture. He has played with groups including the Creole Osceola Mardi Gras Indians\, Big Chief Donald Harrison Sr.\, Percussion Inc.\, Casa Samba\, and cousin John Boutte\, to name a few. \n\nKhara Scott-Bey\nKhara Scott-Bey EXA\, LMFT (she/they) is a licensed marriage and family therapist with a focus in art therapy based in New Orleans. Scott-Bey is also a liberatory life coach\, an artist\, and a community organizer.

SUMMARY:Music in the Garden: NOMA Creative Assembly
DESCRIPTION:NOMA presents Music in the Garden\, a seasonal outdoor music series hosted in the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden.  \nEncounter the sounds of local New Orleans musicians while strolling through the Besthoff Sculpture Garden on select Sunday afternoons throughout the year. Performances will take place alongside sculptures across the garden. \nThis installment of Music in the Garden will feature acoustic sets from current members and alumni of NOMA’s Creative Assembly artist residency program\, including Kr3wcial. \nAttendance for this event is free. Registration is recommended. \nRegister Here \nPerformance Schedule\n\n\n\nPerformer\nTime and Location\n\n\nTo be announced\n2:00 – 3:00 pm\n\n\nKr3wcial\n3:00 – 4:00 pm\n\n\n\nAdditional musicians and performance locations will be announced soon. Please check this page for updates.  \n\nAbout the Performers\nKr3wcial\n \nIn the vibrant tapestry of New Orleans’ rich musical heritage\, Kr3wcial emerges as a dynamic figure\, transcending the boundaries of traditional hip-hop. 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. Kr3wcial is also an alumnus of NOMA’s Creative Assembly residency program. \nAbout NOMA’s Creative Assembly\nLaunched in 2021\, NOMA’s Creative Assembly residency program promotes community engagement by welcoming artists to collaborate throughout the year with the museum’s permanent collection\, special exhibitions\, and programs. Over the course of the residency\, Creative Assembly Cohort members are provided funds and museum support to develop artistic projects and public offerings\, like programs and workshops.

SUMMARY:Book Club: How the Word Is Passed: A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America
DESCRIPTION:NOMA’s book club meets monthly to discuss fiction and non-fiction books related to art in the museum’s collection and exhibitions.  \nIt 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 to participate. In addition to monthly book discussions\, the book club meets periodically for curatorial programs related to the book selections.  \nBooks are selected in advance and planned according to the museum’s exhibition schedule. Participants are expected to procure their own copy of the titles. Selections are also available at the NOMA Museum Shop\, where museum members receive a 10% discount. \nRegister Now \nMeetings are held in person or via Zoom. All meetings begin at 12 pm. For more information or questions\, please email programs@noma.org. \n\nAbout the Book\nHow the Word Is Passed: A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America\nby Clint Smith\n\n\nBeginning in his hometown of New Orleans\, Clint Smith leads the reader on an unforgettable tour of monuments and landmarks—those that are honest about the past and those that are not—that offer an intergenerational story of how slavery has been central in shaping our nation’s collective history\, and ourselves. \nIt is the story of the Monticello Plantation in Virginia\, the estate where Thomas Jefferson wrote letters espousing the urgent need for liberty while enslaving more than four hundred people. It is the story of the Whitney Plantation\, one of the only former plantations devoted to preserving the experience of the enslaved people whose lives and work sustained it. It is the story of Angola\, a former plantation-turned-maximum-security prison in Louisiana that is filled with Black men who work across the 18\,000-acre land for virtually no pay. And it is the story of Blandford Cemetery\, the final resting place of tens of thousands of Confederate soldiers. \nA deeply researched and transporting exploration of the legacy of slavery and its imprint on centuries of American history\, How the Word Is Passed illustrates how some of our country’s most essential stories are hidden in plain view—whether in places we might drive by on our way to work\, holidays such as Juneteenth\, or entire neighborhoods like downtown Manhattan\, where the brutal history of the trade in enslaved men\, women\, and children has been deeply imprinted. \nInformed by scholarship and brought to life by the story of people living today\, Smith’s debut work of nonfiction is a landmark of reflection and insight that offers a new understanding of the hopeful role that memory and history can play in making sense of our country and how it has come to be.
