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’ communities. |

In this lecture, Dr. Kara Cooney, author of When Women Ruled the World: Six Queens of Egypt, addresses questions of ancient social inequalities and how women negotiated their limited leadership roles. How was their power expressed when regularly cloaked by a man’s dominance? Were they able to rule “behind the throne”? How much of this ancient reality still touches us today? |

Artists have a way of opening up doors to different worlds and possibilities. Take inspiration from art works as varied as glimmering Fairyland Lusterware bowls and vases and the larger-than-life snail of Hank Willis Thomas’ History of the Conquest in the Sculpture Garden to imagine mind-expanding creations of your own. |
