SUMMARY:Day With(out) Art: Everyone I Know Is Sick
DESCRIPTION:NOMA is proud to collaborate with Visual AIDS for Day With(out) Art by presenting Everyone I Know Is Sick\, a program of five short videos highlighting under-told stories of HIV and AIDS. \nInspired by a statement from Cyrée Jarelle Johnson in the book Black Futures\, Everyone I Know Is Sick examines how our society excludes disabled and sick people by upholding a false dichotomy of health and sickness. 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.

There will be two workshops taking place in New Orleans with the help of the NOMA Creative Assembly resident artists Daniel Fitzpatrick and Paige DeVries. Participants should wear good walking shoes for light neighborhood exploration and bring a bottle of water. \nParticipants will meet for this workshop at Barracuda Taco Stand\, 446 Pelican Ave\, New Orleans\, LA 70114. \nMaterials will be provided. Free with advanced registration. \nRegister Now \n\nAbout the Artist\n\nAlyssa Lizzini is an artist from Cleveland\, Ohio\, whose work explores concepts of social geography and community engagement through on-location drawing. Lizzini’s layered images are heavily inspired by her own archival\, ethnographic\, and visual research of city spaces—and her lived experience growing up in the city of Cleveland. In the studio\, she utilizes drawing\, painting\, and printmaking techniques to create visually complex images that mirror the complexity of our social and spatial world. Lizzini graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 2022.

SUMMARY:Elders Sacred Talk Series with Merline Kimble and Hearreast J. Harrison
DESCRIPTION:NOMA’s Art Thrives initiative and the Congo Square Preservation Society present the Elders Sacred Talk Series with prolific elder New Orleanians\, celebrating the lives they lead while learning firsthand about the impact they’ve had on the city. \nOn December 6\, 5:30 pm\, in NOMA’s Lapis Center for the Arts\, the program will highlight Merline Kimble of the Gold Digger Baby Dolls and Herreast J. Harrison\, artist and educator. Doors open at 5 pm. \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 admissions desk for directions to the Lapis Center for the Arts. \nGet Tickets \nTo book your ticket in advance\, click the link above. \n\nAbout the Speakers\n\nHerreast J. Harrison\nHerreast J. Harrison is an educator\, artist\, and founder of the Guardians Institute\, which is the home of the Donald Harrison\, Sr. Museum. 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. Learn more at https://www.congosquarepreservationsociety.org/. \n \n\nNOMA’s Art Thrives programs are supported by E.A. Michelson Philanthropy.

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. Taylor Foundation; The RosaMary Foundation; The Azby Fund; the Louisiana Division of the Arts\, Office of Cultural Development\, Department of Culture\, Recreation & Tourism\, in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts\, a Federal agency; The Collins C.
