The life he foresees for himself and the tale he tells is full of sadness and tragedy\, but inexplicably he is born with a smile on his face. Nearly called back to the land of the dead\, he is resurrected. But in their efforts to save their child\, Azaro’s loving parents are made destitute. The tension between the land of the living\, with its violence and political struggles\, and the temptations of the carefree kingdom of the spirits propels this latter-day Lazarus’s story. \nCURATORIAL PROGRAM | TUESDAY\, JUNE 15\, 12 pm with Ndubuisi Ezeluomba\, Françoise Billion Richardson Curator of Africa \nBOOK DISCUSSION GROUP | TUESDAY\, JUNE 29\, 12 pm \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:Honoring Juneteenth at NOMA
DESCRIPTION:Join us at NOMA for a day of activities to honor Juneteenth—the annual holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States—and support the ongoing movement for justice\, equity\, and liberation. Come together on the Museum steps for family art-making; experience a moving dance performance co-presented by Edward Spots and Magnolia Dance & Company; view a photographic banner created by students at New Harmony High School; and delve into online programming. Stop by throughout the day to share what honoring Juneteenth means to you. \nAll events and activities are free. To reserve your free ticket for admission to NOMA and the Besthoff Sculpture Garden\, click here.  \nJuneteenth refers to June 19\, 1865\, when Union general Gordon Granger read out federal orders declaring that all people previously enslaved in Texas were free\, nearly two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. 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. To learn more\, see  “What Is Juneteenth?” by Henry Louis Gates\, Jr. \n  \n\n\n\nPrograms and Events\n\nEdward Spots: Motion to Move\n\n\n 2 pm and 4 pm\n\n\n Lapis Center for the Arts\n\n\n \n\n\nMotion to Move is a performance event by renowned dancer and choreographer Edward Spots with Magnolia Dance & Company. This original work will honor the history of Juneteenth\, while considering the legacies of enslavement and brutality that still exist within our current prison system and elsewhere.\n\n\n \n\n\nTickets are available on a first-come\, first-served basis at the museum on the day of the event.\n\n\n \n\n\nArtmaking Activity: Freedom Flag Wind Catchers\n\n\n 10 am–5 pm\n\n\n Great Hall\n\n\n \n\n\nWhat does freedom mean to you?

The culmination of this project\, What Is Harmony?\, is on view to the public starting June 19. View a collaborative photo narrative reflecting on what it means to find balance with ourselves\, our communities\, and the environment.\n\n\n \n\nDue to the weather\, this project will be installed at a later date and will not be on view on June 19.\n\nAfricaTown USA\n\n\n Available Online Starting June 19\n\n\n\n\nAmistad Research Center presents Conversations in Color featuring community activist Hannibal Lokumbe and the pastor of Union Missionary Baptist Church of AfricaTown USA\, Rev. Derek Tucker.
