Presented by The Helis Foundation on Sunday\, October 22. This special pop-up program for young children under 5 years old and their caregivers is inspired by Lynda Benglis’s Wave of the World installed in New Orleans City Park within walking distance of the New Orleans Museum of Art. \nThis pop-up workshop will be led by Wolf Trap trained YALA teaching artist Ja’nese Brooks Galathe. This multi-modal family workshop will include singing\, moving\, and manipulatives. \nAfter the workshop\, please visit other pieces by Lynda Benglis inside NOMA\, including Wing\, which the museum acquired in 2015 with support from The Helis Foundation. \nRegister now \nThis workshop is free\, thanks to support provided by The Helis Foundation. Space is limited so register today to reserve your spot. \nAbout Lynda Benglis’s Wave of the World\nLynda Benglis\, born in Louisiana\, is an American sculptor and visual artist known especially for her wax paintings and poured latex sculptures. Following the 1984 New Orleans World’s Fair\, her Wave of the World sculpture sat hidden for decades in a former sewage treatment plant in the City of Kenner outside of New Orleans. The Wave suffered years of neglect that led to surface damage and the loss of a large section of the base. \nWith the permission of Kenner\, which owns the sculpture\, and the funding of The Helis Foundation\, Benglis personally undertook and supervised the complete restoration of the work in the summer of 2014. The piece was returned to the Modern Art Foundry in New York where Benglis originally created and cast the work. \nBenglis worked with 1983-84 team member\, Bob Spring\, and his son\, Jeffrey\, present director of Modern Art Foundry\, to pour a new base\, restore the original patina\, and repair the internal plumbing of the fountain. In October of 2015\, The Wave of the World (The Wave) returned to public view in City Park’s “Big Lake.” \n\nAbout Young Audiences of Louisiana\nYoung Audiences of Louisiana (YALA) is the leading provider of arts education and integration programs in the state of Louisiana.

Propelled into the upper echelons by his knowledge and adoration of fashion\, André moved to Paris as bureau chief of John Fairchild’s Women’s Wear Daily\, befriending fashion’s most important designers (Halston\, Yves Saint Laurent\, Oscar de la Renta). But as André made friends\, he also made enemies. A racially tinged encounter with a member of the house of Yves Saint Laurent sent him back to New York and into the offices of Vogue under Grace Mirabella. \nThere\, he eventually became creative director\, developing an unlikely but intimate friendship with Anna Wintour. As she rose to the top of Vogue’s masthead\, André also ascended\, and soon became the most influential man in fashion. \n The Chiffon Trenches offers a candid look at the who’s who of the last fifty years of fashion. At once ruthless and empathetic\, this engaging memoir tells with raw honesty the story of how André not only survived the brutal style landscape but thrived—despite racism\, illicit rumors\, and all the other challenges of this notoriously cutthroat industry—to become one of the most renowned voices and faces in fashion. \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.

At the age of 15\, he and his peers attempted to integrate a public park in his hometown of New Orleans. In 1961\, while a student at Southern University in Baton Rouge\, he led a group of 2\,500 students to the state capitol to protest the city's hiring policies and segregated lunch counters. That activism led to his arrest and expulsion from the university and prompted his full-time commitment to CORE (the Congress of Racial Equality). Moore worked as a field secretary for CORE from 1961 to 1965\, which included establishing voter registration initiatives in parts of Louisiana. From 1965 – 1973\, he worked as the executive director of the Scholarship\, Education and Defense Fund for Racial Equality\, Inc. Moore also served as the director of the Institute for Resident Initiatives at Tulane University from 1996 to 2005 and the director of the African American Youth Congress from 1982 to 1994. During his lifetime of activism\, Moore was arrested over 17 times and held in solitary confinement for 56 days for advocating for voting rights in Louisiana. \n\nDoratha “Dodie” Smith-Simmons\nDoratha “Dodie” Smith-Simmons joined New Orleans chapter of CORE (Congress of Racial Equality) in 1961 when she was 14 or 15 years old. It was one of the most active chapters in the region and she became a very active member participating in sit-ins and picketing. Her participation resulted in police arresting her several times. Her dedication led her to become a Freedom Rider and test the law that made segregation on public buses unconstitutional. She and other members of the New Orleans CORE rode a bus from New Orleans to McComb\, MS where they were met with severe violence and some of them suffered life-threatening injuries. “After the rides\, Smith-Simmons trained freedom riders and taught members how to participate in nonviolent protests. In the ‘60s\, she also worked to integrate hotels and Florida beaches and participated in the March on Washington. \n\nAbout Congo Square Preservation Society\nThe Congo Square Preservation Society serves as a continuing catalyst in the resurrection and continuation of activities\, advocacy\, and preservation of historic and sacred Congo Square in New Orleans.

Investigating across the centuries and around the world\, Newitz explores the rise and fall of four ancient cities\, each the center of a sophisticated civilization: the Neolithic site of Çatalhöyük in Central Turkey\, the Roman vacation town of Pompeii on Italy’s southern coast\, the medieval megacity of Angkor in Cambodia\, and the indigenous metropolis Cahokia\, which stood beside the Mississippi River where East St. Louis is today. \nNewitz travels to all four sites and investigates the cutting-edge research in archaeology\, revealing the mix of environmental changes and political turmoil that doomed these ancient settlements. Tracing the early development of urban planning\, Newitz also introduces us to the often anonymous workers―slaves\, women\, immigrants\, and manual laborers― who built these cities and created monuments that lasted millennia. \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.

He describes himself as a sculptor working in the medium of jewelry for which he is known internationally. \nOriginally from Pennsylvania\, the artist exhibited his work at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in 1977 and has called New Orleans home ever since. Mann spends much of his time on the road exhibiting at as many as 15 nationally juried craft and art events each year\, in addition to teaching workshops and public speaking. \nOver the last 10 years\, he has moved away from his signature “Techno-Romantic” design vocabulary toward a new jewelry vocabulary he has identified as “Techno-Natura\,” and making scale models for large-scale sculpture. He has also begun a re-entry into painting which he studied in college as a performing arts major with a focus on set design and lighting. His first solo painting show opened at Sullivan Gallery in New Orleans in April 2022.

Inviting us to understand disability as a common experience rather than an exception to the norm\, the program highlights a range of experiences spanning HIV\, COVID\, mental health\, and aging. The commissioned artists foreground the knowledge and expertise of disabled and sick people in a world still grappling with multiple ongoing pandemics. Visual AIDS is a New York-based non-profit that utilizes art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue\, supporting HIV+ artists\, and preserving a legacy\, because AIDS is not over. \nFree with museum admission. When you arrive at NOMA\, check in at the front desk for directions. \nGet Tickets \nABOUT THE FILMS\nDolissa Medina and Ananias P. Soria\, Viejito/Enfermito/Grito (Old Man/Sick Man/Shout)\nAnanias\, a San Francisco Bay Area artist and immigrant\, performs the folkloric Danza de los Viejitos (the Dance of the Old Men). Originally from Michoacán\, Mexico\, where the dance originates\, Ananias interprets its movements through the lens of his spirituality\, his long-term HIV-related disabilities\, and his search for a place in the world. \nDorothy Cheung\, Heart Murmurs\nHeart Murmurs is a poetic dialogue between the filmmaker and Dean\, a young man living in Hong Kong. In reflecting on his experience living with a congenital disability and HIV during the first years of the COVID pandemic\, Dean expresses his sense of self in the face of regular medical challenges. \nBeau Gomez\, This Bed I Made\nThis Bed I Made presents the bed as a place of solace and agency beyond just a site of illness or isolation. Through the shared stories of two Filipino men living with HIV\, the video explores modes of care\, restoration\, and abundance in the midst of pandemic pervasion. \nKurt Weston\, Losing the Light\nLosing the Light reflects the artist’s bitter battle to stay in this world as a long-term survivor of AIDS who has lost his vision to CMV retinitis. An experimental self-portrait\, the video evokes the dissolution and fragmentation of the artist’s body\, representing the impact of blindness\, long-term HIV infection\, and the cumulative effects of decades of antiretroviral medication. \nLili Nascimento and Hiura Fernandes\, Aquela criança com AID$ (That Child with AID$)\nThat Child with AID$ tells the story of Brazilian advocate and artist Lili Nascimento\, who was born with HIV in 1990. Lili has worked to expand narratives about living with HIV beyond the limited images and ideologies that permeate the AIDS industry. \n\nABOUT VISUAL AIDS\nVisual AIDS is a New York-based non-profit that utilizes art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue\, supporting HIV+ artists\, and preserving a legacy\, because AIDS is not over. \nLEARN MORE \n\nEducation and outreach initiatives at NOMA are supported in part by The Gayle and Tom Benson Foundation; the Lois and Lloyd Hawkins Jr. Foundation; The Helis Foundation; The City of New Orleans; First Horizon; Janice Parmelee and Bill Hammack; Sara and David Kelso; Patrick F.

Located in the Ninth Ward\, the museum honors her late husband\, Big Chief Donald Harrison\, Sr.\, founder of the Guardians of the Flame Masking Indian group. Harrison’s work through the institute includes promoting Masking Indian culture and youth literacy. She has traveled extensively to speak at schools and colleges locally\, across the country and abroad. Her reading program has placed over 40\,000 new books in the hands of children.  \nAs an artist\, she creates beaded story narratives and quilted wall hangings embellished with beads reflecting Masking Indian and African American traditions. Harrison\, who holds a Master of Arts in Museum Studies from Southern University at New Orleans\, was recognized as the Grand Griot of Maafa 2021 and received the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities Light Up for Literacy Award\, among many others. At 86 years young\, Harrison continues her passion-driven work to make her community a better place. \n\nMerline Kimble\nMerline Kimble is a cultural activist and lifelong resident of the Tremé neighborhood. She is frequently called upon to provide interviews for documentaries\, films\, and recordings\, including with the Claiborne Avenue History Project\, Southern University at New Orleans\, and WWOZ. With inspiration from her grandmother Louise Recasner Phillips\, Kimble played a major role in reviving the New Orleans Baby Doll masking tradition in the 1970s and again in the ’80s. She named her new group the Gold Diggers after her grandparents’ social aid and pleasure club. Her grandmother lived to see the younger women\, dressed in colorful satin Baby Doll dresses\, premiere their group on Mardi Gras Day at her home on Ursuline Avenue. \nThe revival of the Baby Doll tradition increased momentum in the early 2000s. Today\, with over 25 groups\, the tradition is cemented in the cultural identity of New Orleans with key women regarded as preservationists including Merline Kimble. The People United for Armstrong Park honored her in 2016 and placed her photo on New Orleans city buses. \n\nABOUT CONGO SQUARE PRESERVATION SOCIETY\nThe Congo Square Preservation Society serves as a continuing catalyst in the resurrection and continuation of activities\, advocacy\, and preservation of historic and sacred Congo Square in New Orleans.

This program empowers the youth of New Orleans through music education\, academic support\, and mentorship\, while preserving and promoting the unique musical and cultural heritage of our city. The Roots of Music programs teach music history and theory\, instrumental instruction\, ensemble performance preparation\, and studio production. Across three programs\, the Roots of Music serves youth ages 5–18 from low-income households and provides students with hot meals and transportation to reduce common barriers to participation. \nThe Marching Crusaders is an after-school marching band program for children ages 9–14. Young scholars are offered a variety of resources through the program\, including academic tutoring\, music classes\, and performance opportunities. The Marching Crusaders march in Mardi Gras parades throughout New Orleans and perform at various events throughout the rest of the year. This program utilizes music to keep children safe at the most vulnerable times of day and helps them become happy and healthy members of their community. Five days a week\, 12 months a year\, the program delivers over 2\,500 hours of music education and other academic tutoring\, over 30\,400 nutritious hot meals\, 1\,400 bus journeys\, and supplies over 150 instruments for student use. \n\nPrincess Camerian\nPrincess Camerian participates in the creative process in every possible way\, infusing everything with her own personal magic. Camerian has been doing face and body painting for birthday parties\, parades\, festivals\, concerts\, schools\, bachelorette parties\, sporting events\, fundraisers\, and various other occasions in the city of New Orleans and around southeastern Louisiana for over 15 years. For every chance she gets\, Camerian sprinkles beauty and happiness out into the world! \n\nKrewe des Fleurs\nKrewe des Fleurs was founded in 2014 by Laura Dean-Shapiro\, born out of a desire to marry the love of Mardi Gras and New Orleans culture with a more sustainable Mardi Gras. Concerned by the tremendous amounts of waste left behind on parade routes\, Laura dreamed of a krewe that brought to life the float flowers that she loved so much while leaving no waste behind. Now entering its 10th season\, Krewe des Fleurs is a costume collaborative that welcomes female-identifying “Fleurs” to bring their own artistic visions to life. Each year the krewe debuts a new varietal as its costume. While the prototype is designed by a professional artist\, each Fleur builds and decorates her own costume from the ground up\, assisted by her fellow Fleurs. The krewe proudly distributes handmade throws made of recycled materials\, as well as wooden nickels and “seeds as beads” packets\, holding true to its promise of no plastic waste. This year’s varietal will be debuted on Twelfth Night at Armstrong Park\, and the krewe’s Carnival season parades will include Joan of Arc\, Cleopatra\, Iris\, and Orpheus. Environmental sustainability remains at the center of all that we do. \n\nDJ Kuti\nKuti is a DJ\, producer\, and graphic designer from New Orleans. To Kuti\, music is communal\, and the people\, connections\, and visuals fuel the groove while she\, as the curator\, drives the ship. She is also 1/2 of the production duo\, Khromethesia. Influenced by OG dance music\, Afrodiasporic rhythms and soul\, take a stroll with her through all-time funk faves\, classic boogie\, and global ear candy. \n\nEducation and outreach initiatives at NOMA are supported in part by The Gayle and Tom Benson Foundation; the Lois and Lloyd Hawkins Jr. Foundation; The Helis Foundation; The City of New Orleans; First Horizon; Janice Parmelee and Bill Hammack; Sara and David Kelso; Patrick F.
