SUMMARY:Food as Medicine: New Orleans Cuisine with Healthy Alternatives
DESCRIPTION:As one of the culinary capitals of the world\, New Orleans’s cuisine is one of the city’s most notable attributes. While many of these dishes are world renowned\, their nutrition and healthiness is sometimes compromised during their creation. Lower 9th Ward native Courtney Clark has dedicated much of her multidisciplinary creative practice to community food justice organizing in an attempt to combat many of the diet-related diseases that exist within many of New Orleans’s communities. \nClark is a member of NOMA’s Creative Assembly Cohort and will lead a food demonstration in the amphitheater of NOMA’s Besthoff Sculpture Garden on June 8 from 5 to 7 pm. During this workshop\, attendees will learn how to make healthy alternatives to well-known New Orleans dishes and also experience a performance from Big Chief Romeo Bougere of the 9th Ward Hunters. \nThis event is free and open to the public. The first 50 registrants will be guaranteed a tasting of the food made by Clark during the demonstration. \nRegister Now \nPlease note that this is an outdoor event with seating on the grass in the amphitheater. We welcome bringing your own folding chair or blanket to sit on. \nAbout Courtney Clark\nCourtney Clark is a native of the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans and has worked as an artist\, school teacher\, community food justice organizer\, and mental health advocate\, throughout her eclectic career. Between 2015 and 2020\, Clark served as Programming Coordinator for Backyard Gardeners Network (BGN)\, spearheading its Food As Medicine program—a 10-week health and nutrition workshop series for adults which focused on food as a primary source of healing. In 2016\, Clark was selected to serve as a U.S. delegate by Slow Food USA for the Terra Madre del Gusto Food conference in Turin\, Italy. NOLA.com recognized her as an Everyday Hero in 2017 and JJill and Food Network as an Inspired Woman for her work in 2020. Clark was chosen by The Greater New Orleans Foundation as an Emerging Leader in 2017. \nLearn more \nAbout Creative Assembly\nCreative Assembly is a community engagement initiative by the New Orleans Museum of Art that uses neighborhood-based participatory art experiences as a vehicle for personal exploration\, community collaboration\, and social change. \nLearn more \nNOMA’s Creative Assembly community engagement initiative is supported by the Wagner Foundation.

Brooks\, Sr.\, of the famous “Masonic Kings.” Like many accomplished guitarists\, Detroit mastered his craft on the road where the performances were “long\, free and continuous.” His skill\, technique and experience brought him quick recognition and the opportunity to play with gospel greats like Clarence Fountain & the Five Blind Boys\, Dorothy Norwood\, Reverend Ernest Franklin\, Albertina Walker\, Raymond Myles and The Rams and the famed Zion Harmonizers. \n \n  \nGuided Tours of Queen Nefertari’s Egypt\n10:30 am\, 1:00 pm\, and 3:30 pm\nJoin a tour of Queen Nefertari’s Egypt designed for all ages.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:Gallery Talk with Casey Delmont
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the galleries each Wednesday for weekly talks with artists\, curators\, and other special guests. 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.

SUMMARY:Book Club: Curatorial Program with Tracy Kennan
DESCRIPTION:The NOMA Book Club meets monthly to discuss fiction and nonfiction books related to art in NOMA’s collection and exhibitions. 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 discussions\, the Book Club meets periodically 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 \nJuly 2022\nVirtual Curatorial Program | Thursday\, July 14\, 12 pm\nwith Tracy Kennan\, Curator of Education \n\n\n\nThe Flowering: The Autobiography of Judy Chicago by Judy Chicago\nThames and Hudson\, 2021\, ISBN: 978-0500094389 \nJudy Chicago is America’s most dynamic living artist. 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.

SUMMARY:Funerary Traditions in Ancient Egypt and New Orleans
DESCRIPTION:One of the most notable characteristics of Ancient Egyptian culture is preparation for the afterlife. Rituals around funerals and burials have long been of popular interest\, and many of these traditions can be seen in contemporary African-American culture. Rhodes Funeral Home currently operates as the oldest African-American-owned business in New Orleans and the genesis of its creation is rooted in many of the same intentions that those within Ancient Egypt had within their burial traditions. \nFor this conversation\, Community Engagement Curator Nic Brierre Aziz is in dialogue with Stephanie Rhodes Navarre and Joan Rhodes\, two of the four managers of the Rhodes Funeral Home\, to explore the history of their family’s business\, the traditions that go into their burials and the ways in which their work relates to the African-based funerary practices of Ancient Egypt. \nRegister Now \nThis program is free to the public. Guests interested in visiting the museum and Queen Nefertari’s Egypt should purchase separate tickets for entry to the galleries. \n\nAbout Queen Nefertari’s Egypt\nQueen Nefertari’s Egypt brings to life the role of Nefertari and other powerful women in ancient Egypt through 230 exceptional objects\, including statues\, jewelry\, vases\, papyrus\, steles\, wooden coffins\, and stone sarcophagi\, as well as tools and various items of daily life from the artisan village of Deir-el-Medina\, home to those who created the royal tombs. \nLearn More
