SUMMARY:Gallery Talk about Wafaa Bilal's 168:01
DESCRIPTION:NOMA curators will be present to discuss artist Wafaa Bilal’s interactive installation 168:01 in the exhibition Bodies of Knowledge. The work is comprised of a large bookshelf filled with blank\, white books which symbolizes the burning and looting of libraries in Baghdad during the 2003 American invasion of Iraq. Museum visitors are invited to transform the shelves from austere white to color by donating a book that will be shipped to the College of Fine Arts at the University of Baghdad at the closing of the exhibition. In exchange for a new book (for sale in the Museum Shop) visitors may take home one of the white volumes\, which are meant to serve as a reminder that across the globe many people are denied equal access to knowledge. \nWednesday admission is free to all Louisiana residents courtesy of The Helis Foundation.

SUMMARY:Artist's Choice Film Series: Sidewalk Stories
DESCRIPTION:Bodies of Knowledge brings together ten international contemporary artists to reflect on the role that language plays in archiving and asserting our cultural identities.

Taking the child into the depths of the slums that he calls home\, the artist keeps the little girl healthy and happy while doing his best to search for her living relatives. As the artist and the child venture through the streets together\, they meet a strange assortment of characters while slowly developing an intimate friendship. Ultimately the artist winds up in a horse-drawn chase of the murderers. The film was inspired by Charlie Chaplin’s The Little Tramp\, filmed in 1915. Watch the trailer.

SUMMARY:Artist's Choice Film Series: La Jetée
DESCRIPTION:Bodies of Knowledge brings together ten international contemporary artists to reflect on the role that language plays in archiving and asserting our cultural identities. In conjunction with this exhibition\, NOMA will be screening movies selected by these artists that reflect their inspirations\, interests\, and ideals. \nArtist’s Choice Film Series \n\nSaturday\, June 29\, 2 pm | Adriana Corral selects The Constant Gardener (2005 | Rated R | 2 hours\, 8 minutes)\nSaturday\, August 17\, 2 pm  | Manon Bellet selects La Jetée (1962 | Not rated | 28 minutes)\nSaturday\, August 24\, 3 pm  | Garrett Bradley selects Sidewalk Stories (1989 | Rated R | 1 hour\, 37 minutes)\nSaturday\, September 14\, 2 pm | Mahmoud Chouki selects Whatever Lola Wants (2007 | Not rated | 1 hour\, 55 minutes)\nSaturday\, October 5\,  5 pm | Edward Spots selects Fame (1980 | Rated R |  2 hours\, 14 minutes)\n\nABOUT LA JETÉE\nLa Jetée  is a 1962 French Left Bank\, black-and-white science-fiction featurette by Chris Marker. Constructed almost entirely from still photos\, it tells the story of a post-nuclear war experiment in time travel. \nA man (Davos Hanich) is a prisoner in the aftermath of World War III in post-apocalyptic Paris\, where survivors live underground in the Palais de Chaillot galleries. Scientists research time travel hoping to send test subjects to different time periods “to call past and future to the rescue of the present”. They have difficulty finding subjects who can mentally withstand the shock of time travel. The scientists eventually settle upon the prisoner; his key to the past is a vague but obsessive memory from his pre-war childhood of a woman he had seen on the observation platform (“the jetty”) at Orly Airport shortly before witnessing a startling incident there. He did not understand exactly what happened\, but knew he had seen a man die. \nAfter several attempts\, he reaches the pre-war period. He meets the woman from his memory\, and they develop a romantic relationship. After his successful passages to the past\, the experimenters attempt to send him into the far future. In a brief meeting with the technologically advanced people of the future\, he is given a power unit sufficient to regenerate his own destroyed society\, but the movie takes an unexpected turn that prevents this rebuilding of the future.

SUMMARY:Friday Nights at NOMA: Screening of Shirin Neshat's Women Without Men | Music by Lucho | Artful Palate cooking demonstration
DESCRIPTION:Friday Nights at NOMA features an exciting lineup of programs in 2019: live music\, movies\, children’s activities\, and more. Regular admission prices apply—NOMA members are FREE—but there is no extra charge for programs or films. All galleries\, the Museum Shop\, and Café NOMA remain open till 9 pm. \n\n5 – 8 pm: Art on the Spot drop-in activity table\n5:30 – 8:30 pm: Music by Lucho\n6 pm: Artful Palate cooking demonstration with Chef Chris Vazquez\n6:30 pm: Screening of Women Without Men\n\nABOUT ARTFUL PALATE AND CHEF CHRIS VAZQUEZ\nCafé NOMA presents their eighth annual summertime Artful Palate series of cooking demonstrations at 6 pm with Chris Vazquez of Ralph Brennan Catering and Events. He will prepare beef goulash. Chefs from other restaurants in the Ralph Brennan Group will continue the cooking classes on Friday nights through August 23 with dishes inspired by their culinary mentors\, in tribute to the exhibition Bodies of Knowledge. \nABOUT WOMEN WITHOUT MEN\nIn conjunction with the exhibition Bodies of Knowledge\, NOMA will screen movies by Iranian filmmaker Shirin Neshat as part of Friday Nights at NOMA programming. Women Without Men profiles the lives of four women living in Tehran in 1953\, during the American-backed coup that returned the Shah of Iran to power. The film was called “visually transfixing” by a New York Times reviewer.  Two of the film’s recurrent images are of a long dirt road extending to the horizon on which the characters walk\, and a river that suggests\, “a deep current of feminine resilience below an impassive exterior.” Women Without Men is set in the streets of Iranian capital\, which are teeming with protesters objecting to the overthrow of the prime minister\, but four disparate women have more immediate concerns. Farrokhlagha’s (Arita Shahrzad) husband thinks he’s entitled to be married to multiple women. Munis (Shabnam Toloui) is a virtual slave to her brother. Faezeh (Pegah Ferydoni) has physical and emotional troubles. And Zarin (Orsolya Tóth) is an unwilling prostitute. Boldly\, the women pursue solutions to the problems foisted upon them. (2009 | Not rated | 1 hour\, 39 minutes | Watch the trailer) \nABOUT LUCHO\nLouisiana-born songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist Lucho is trying to redefine the role of a producer. Hailing from New Orleans\, Lucho began writing songs at an early age. Spending a majority of his teen years playing\, experimenting\, and refining his songwriting/production in various bands\, he focused his energy into creating unique sounds for other artists. In the summer of 2010 together with his siblings and guitarist Adrian Frye\, he independently released The Bit Parts EP with the indie-pop outfit Youth Sounds. The band achieved some success off the strength of its lead single “What is it like?” following it up with the Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow EP. In 2012 he connected with DRC rapper Alec Lomami\, producing three out of four songs on his debut Mélancolie Joyeuse EP. This established a unique artistic relationship with Lomami\, it also lead to Lucho becoming the creative director of Lomami’s and rapper Well$ independent label Immaculate Taste. His latest project\, a mix of Andean folkloric and electronic dance music\, has challenged him to dig into his South American roots and explore lush sonic territories\, allowing him the freedom to redefine his cultural and artistic self-expression. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K. Worner Charitable Trust; New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and Foundation; and the Louisiana Division of the Arts\, Office of Cultural Development\, Department of Culture\, Recreation and Tourism\, in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council.

SUMMARY:Friday Nights at NOMA: Screening of Shirin Neshat's Looking for Oum Kulthum | Music by Joy Clark | Artful Palate cooking demonstration
DESCRIPTION:Friday Nights at NOMA features an exciting lineup of programs in 2019: live music\, movies\, children’s activities\, and more. Regular admission prices apply—NOMA members are FREE—but there is no extra charge for programs or films. All galleries\, the Museum Shop\, and Café NOMA remain open till 9 pm. \n\n5 – 8 pm: Art on the Spot drop-in activity table\n5 pm: “This is My America” screening of films created by high school students in partnership with NOVAC\n5:30 – 8:30 pm: Music by Joy Clark\n6 pm: Artful Palate cooking demonstration with Chef Chris Fite\n6:30 pm: Screening of Looking for Oum Kulthum\n\nABOUT “THIS IS MY AMERICA” AND NOVAC\nDuring a two-week intensive study program\, ten high school students from metro New Orleans worked in partnership with Sundance Film Festival award-winning filmmaker Garrett Bradley\, NOMA\, and the New Orleans Video Access Center (NOVAC) to create films in conjunction with the exhibition Bodies of Knowledge. These short films will debut in Stern Auditorium. Garrett’s silent films\, collectively titled America\, are shown on continuous loop in the exhibition gallery. \nAs the longest-running media arts non-profit in the South\, NOVAC provides education\, training and resources for Louisiana’s independent filmmakers and storytelling communities. NOVAC also offers video production and digitizing services for the general public. \nABOUT JOY CLARK\nJoy Clark’s musical artistry feels like a warm\, fresh twist on the fervently familiar. Her tranquil yet ardent original creations are a heady mix of her major influences. Think Tracy Chapman\, Lizz Wright\, Maxwell\, Anita Baker\, Stevie Nicks and Chris Eaton. Now add a bluesy bayou vibe with a splash of folk sensibility and a dash of alternative appeal\, and you’ll understand why this homegrown New Orleans singer/ songwriter/guitarist transcends both age and the ordinary. \nHaving studied her self-taught craft since the age of 12\, Joy truly embodies the bliss that comes with creating melodies and rhythms to celebrate peace and the undeniable power of love. Her music is often described as the essence of ease\, upliftment\, self-affirmation and sensitivity. It’s no wonder that she quickly rose to critical acclaim as a founding member of the disbanded Soulkestra. Joy has also performed with Water Seed\, and living-legend Cyril Neville\, and continues to enchant audiences throughout the Southern United States and around the world. \nABOUT ARTFUL PALATE AND CHEF CHRIS FITE\nCafé NOMA presents their eighth annual summertime Artful Palate series of cooking demonstrations at 6 pm with Café NOMA chef Chris Fite. He will prepare crepes de Norton. Chefs from other restaurants in the Ralph Brennan Group will continue the cooking classes in weeks to come through August 23 with dishes inspired by their culinary mentors\, in tribute to the exhibition Bodies of Knowledge. \nABOUT LOOKING FOR OUM KULTHUM\nIn conjunction with the exhibition Bodies of Knowledge\, NOMA will screen movies by Iranian filmmaker Shirin Neshat as part of Friday Nights at NOMA programming. A film within a film\, Neshat’s 2017 drama Looking for Oum Kulthum follows the plight of an Iranian woman artist/filmmaker named Mitra living in exile\, as she embarks on capturing the life and art of the legendary female singer of the Arab world\, Oum Kulthum. Through her difficult journey\, not unlike her heroine’s\, she has to face the struggles\, sacrifices and the price that a woman has to pay if she dares to cross the lines of a conservative male dominated society. (2017 | Not rated | 1 hour\, 30 minutes | Watch the trailer) \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K. Worner Charitable Trust; New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and Foundation; and the Louisiana Division of the Arts\, Office of Cultural Development\, Department of Culture\, Recreation and Tourism\, in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council. \n

Chouki will be joined by New Orleans-based jazz pianist Oscar Rossignoli. \nMahmoud Chouki is a master guitarist\, multi-instrumentalist and composer living and working in New Orleans. His art draws together music from many different international contexts to consider how music can speak across cultural divides. His own compositions incorporate musical influences from across the globe\, ranging from European classical\, Andalusian from Southern Spain\, Levantine music from the Middle East\, Maghrebian music from North Africa\, Latin American music\, and jazz from the Southern United States. Integrating sounds and rhythms from many different cultures\, Chouki combines classical guitar with instruments such as the loutar\, a traditional instrument of the Middle Atlas region of Morocco; the sintir\, a Sub-Saharan instrument from the Sahel region (Mali); the oud\, an oriental lute; the Algerian mandole\, a steel-string fretted instrument resembling an elongated mandolin; the Bağlama saz\, a Turkish long necked bowl-lute; the banjo\, and a variety of percussion instruments. As artistic director of Rencontre Orient-Occident at Chateau Mercier in Sierre\, Switzerland\, Chouki has brought together a wide range of international musicians to envision new forms of dialogue between East and West\, with music often the only common language between performers. \nFuture performances on Wednesdays at 3 pm by Chouki and guest musicians include: \n\nAugust 14\, 3 pm: Helen Gillet\nSeptember 11\, 3 pm: Jesse Autumn\nOctober 9: Martin Masakowski\n\nFriday Nights at NOMA performances (5:30 – 8:30 pm): \n\nAugust 23: Cyrille Aimee and Ricardo Pascal\nSeptember 13: Georgi Petrov and Sam Dickie\nOctober 13: Final Ensemble Concert\n\nABOUT ARTFUL PALATE AND CHEF KATE SCHWARLOZE\nCafé NOMA presents their eighth annual summertime Artful Palate series of cooking demonstrations at 6 pm with Kate Schwarloze\, sous chef from Brennan’s.

He tells the stories of the inventor of the bentwood chair\, Michael Thonet\, and of the creators of the first molded plywood chair\, Charles and Ray Eames. He reveals the history of chairs to be a social history—of different ways of sitting\, of changing manners and attitudes\, and of varying tastes. The history of chairs is the history of who we are. \nTuesday\, July 9\, 12 – 1 p.m. | Curatorial Program with Mel Buchanan\, RosaMary Curator of Decorative Arts and Design \nFriday\, July 26\, 12 – 1 p.m. | Book Discussion Group

SUMMARY:Gallery Activation of Brève braises with artist Manon Bellet
DESCRIPTION:In the installation Brève braises\, on view in the exhibition Bodies of Knowledge\, artist Manon Bellet affixes the charred remains of burned paper upon the wall of a gallery. From these tattered remains\, she creates a script or musical score that runs across an entire length of a long white wall. Created in collaboration with musicians that Bellet invites to compose an accompanying musical score\, these burned fragments of paper have a graphic dynamism and rhythm that resembles that of improvisational music or impromptu speech. Over the course of her installation\, she allows these papers to gradually drop to the floor\, encouraged by movement of air generated by the improvisational energy of bodies and musical performances. \nMusicians from the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA) will perform for this activation.

SUMMARY:Friday Nights at NOMA: Artist's Perspective with Wafaa Bilal | Music by Keiko and Mateo | Artful Palate cooking demonstration
DESCRIPTION:Friday Nights at NOMA features an exciting lineup of programs in 2019: live music\, movies\, children’s activities\, and more. Regular admission prices apply—NOMA members are FREE—but there is no extra charge for programs or films. All galleries\, the Museum Shop\, and Café NOMA remain open till 9 pm. \n\n\n\n5 – 8 pm: Art on the Spot drop-in activity table\n5:30 – 8:30 pm: Music by Keiko and Mateo\n6 pm: Artful Palate cooking demonstration with Knut Mjelde in Café NOMA\n6:30 pm: Artist’s Perspective Gallery Talk with Wafaa Bilal\n\n\n\nABOUT KEIKO AND MATEO\nThe duo of Keiko and Mateo will present a musical journey through Japan\, France\, Jamaica and Cuba … with a hint of New Orleans’s spirit. Keiko is a pianist from Japan and has lived in New Orleans since 2006\, performing with George Porter Jr.\, Johnny Vidacovich\, Zigaboo Modeliste\, Russell Batiste\, and many other artists of the funk/blues/jazz fusion scene. Mateo is a tenor saxophonist and vocalist from France whorecently moved to New Orleans from Barcelona. He has performed Afro-Latin jazz\, traditional Cuban and world music. Keiko and Mateo met as members of the international touring band Playing For Change and have been traveling around the world together since 2016. \nABOUT WAFAA BILAL\nDuring the invasion of Iraq in 2003\, the College of Fine Arts at the University of Baghdad lost their entire library due to looters who set fire to the collection. More than 70\,000 books were destroyed. Over thirteen years later\, few books remain for the students to read and study. In 168:01\, Iraqi-American artist Wafaa Bilal presents an austere white library that is both a monument to the staggering cultural losses endured throughout Iraq’s history\, and a platform for its potential rebirth. Comprised of a series of white shelves filled with blank tomes\, Bilal’s library doubles as a system of exchange that connects museum visitors directly to Iraq. Aimed at restoring the library’s lost archives\, 168:01 positions viewers as potential donors whose contributions fund educational texts from a reading list compiled by faculty members at the University of Baghdad. As book donations accrue\, the bookshelf becomes saturated with knowledge and filled with color as the white library is slowly replaced with books from this faculty wish list. In exchange for their contribution\, donors receive the blank tomes. At the end of the exhibition\, all donated books are to be shipped to the College of Fine Arts\, to help begin the process of rebuilding. \nAlso on view are images from Bilal’s The Ashes Series\, photographs of a set of miniature handmade replicas of environments destroyed during the Iraq War. Each of these three-dimensional models references a specific journalistic photograph of war-torn Iraq that was circulated in newspapers\, magazines\, and on the internet in the wake of conflict. \nImage credit: Wafaa Bilal\, The Ashes Series: Piano\, 2003–2013\, Archival inkjet photograph\, 40 x 50 in.\, Image courtesy of the artist © Wafaa Bilal \nABOUT ARTFUL PALATE AND CHEF KNUT MJELDE\nCafé NOMA presents their eighth annual summertime Artful Palate series of cooking demonstrations at 6 pm withKnut Mjelde\, Ralph’s on the Park sous chef. He will prepare Spanish-style octopus. Chefs from other restaurants in the Ralph Brennan Group will continue the cooking classes in weeks to come through August 23 with dishes inspired by their culinary mentors\, in tribute to the exhibition Bodies of Knowledge. \nFriday Nights at NOMA is supported in part by grant funds from the Azby Fund; Ruby K. Worner Charitable Trust; New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and Foundation; and the Louisiana Division of the Arts\, Office of Cultural Development\, Department of Culture\, Recreation and Tourism\, in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council.

SUMMARY:Safar musical performance with Mahmoud Chouki and Steve Lands
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the run of Bodies of Knowledge\, Mahmoud Chouki will create a new musical composition and series of site-specific performances for the exhibition\,  collectively titled Safar\, that explore how music can speak across cultural divides to envision new forms of dialogue between East and West. Chouki will be joined by New Orleans-based trumpeter Steve Lands. \nAdmission is free for all Louisiana residents on Wednesdays courtesy of The Helis Foundation. \nABOUT MAHMOUD CHOUKI\nMahmoud Chouki is a master guitarist\, multi-instrumentalist and composer living and working in New Orleans.

His own compositions incorporate musical influences from across the globe\, ranging from European classical\, Andalusian from Southern Spain\, Levantine music from the Middle East\, Maghrebian music from North Africa\, Latin American music\, and jazz from the Southern United States. Integrating sounds and rhythms from many different cultures\, Chouki combines classical guitar with instruments such as the loutar\, a traditional instrument of the Middle Atlas region of Morocco; the sintir\, a Sub-Saharan instrument from the Sahel region (Mali); the oud\, an oriental lute; the Algerian mandole\, a steel-string fretted instrument resembling an elongated mandolin; the Bağlama saz\, a Turkish long necked bowl-lute; the banjo\, and a variety of percussion instruments. As artistic director of Rencontre Orient-Occidentat Chateau Mercier in Sierre\, Switzerland\, Chouki has brought together a wide range of international musicians to envision new forms of dialogue between East and West\, with music often the only common language between performers. \nFuture performances on Wednesdays at 3 pm by Chouki and guest musicians include: \n\nAugust 14: Helen Gillet\nSeptember 11: Jesse Autumn\nOctober 9: Martin Masakowski\n\nFriday Nights at NOMA performances (5:30 – 8:30 pm): \n\nJuly 26: Oscar Rossignoli\nAugust 23: Cyrille Aimee and Ricardo Pascal\nSeptember 13: Georgi Petrov and Sam Dickie\nOctober 13: Final Ensemble Concert\n\n
