SUMMARY:Book Club: How the Word Is Passed: A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America
DESCRIPTION:NOMA’s book club meets monthly to discuss fiction and non-fiction books related to art in the museum’s collection and exhibitions.  \nIt 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 to participate. In addition to monthly book discussions\, the book club meets periodically for curatorial programs related to the book selections.  \nBooks are selected in advance and planned according to the museum’s exhibition schedule. Participants are expected to procure their own copy of the titles. Selections are also available at the NOMA Museum Shop\, where museum members receive a 10% discount. \nRegister Now \nMeetings are held in person or via Zoom. All meetings begin at 12 pm. For more information or questions\, please email programs@noma.org. \n\nAbout the Book\nHow the Word Is Passed: A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America\nby Clint Smith\n\n\nBeginning in his hometown of New Orleans\, Clint Smith leads the reader on an unforgettable tour of monuments and landmarks—those that are honest about the past and those that are not—that offer an intergenerational story of how slavery has been central in shaping our nation’s collective history\, and ourselves. \nIt is the story of the Monticello Plantation in Virginia\, the estate where Thomas Jefferson wrote letters espousing the urgent need for liberty while enslaving more than four hundred people. It is the story of the Whitney Plantation\, one of the only former plantations devoted to preserving the experience of the enslaved people whose lives and work sustained it. It is the story of Angola\, a former plantation-turned-maximum-security prison in Louisiana that is filled with Black men who work across the 18\,000-acre land for virtually no pay. And it is the story of Blandford Cemetery\, the final resting place of tens of thousands of Confederate soldiers. \nA deeply researched and transporting exploration of the legacy of slavery and its imprint on centuries of American history\, How the Word Is Passed illustrates how some of our country’s most essential stories are hidden in plain view—whether in places we might drive by on our way to work\, holidays such as Juneteenth\, or entire neighborhoods like downtown Manhattan\, where the brutal history of the trade in enslaved men\, women\, and children has been deeply imprinted. \nInformed by scholarship and brought to life by the story of people living today\, Smith’s debut work of nonfiction is a landmark of reflection and insight that offers a new understanding of the hopeful role that memory and history can play in making sense of our country and how it has come to be.

And yet spiritualism\, in various incarnations\, has influenced numerous men—including lauded modernist artists such as Wassily Kandinsky\, Piet Mondrian\, Kazimir Malevich and Paul Klee—without repercussion. The fact that so many radical female artists of their generation—and earlier—also drank deeply from the same spiritual well has been sorely neglected for too long. \nIn The Other Side\, we explore the lives and work of a group of extraordinary women\, from the twelfth-century mystic\, composer\, and artist Hildegard of Bingen to the nineteenth-century English spiritualist Georgiana Houghton\, whose paintings swirl like a cosmic Jackson Pollock; the early twentieth-century Swedish artist\, Hilma af Klint\, who painted with the help of her spirit guides and whose recent exhibition at New York’s Guggenheim broke all attendance records to the ‘Desert Transcendentalist’\, Agnes Pelton\, who painted her visions beneath the vast skies of California. We also learn about the Swiss healer\, Emma Kunz\, who used geometric drawings to treat her patients and the British surrealist and occultist\, Ithell Colquhoun\, whose estate of more than 5\,000 works recently entered the Tate gallery collection. While the individual work of these artists is unique\, the women loosely shared the same goal: to communicate with\, and learn from\, other dimensions. \nWeaving in and out of these myriad lives while sharing her own memories of otherworldly experiences\, Jennifer Higgie discusses the solace of ritual\, the gender exclusions of art history\, the contemporary relevance of myth\, the boom in alternative ways of understanding the world and the impact of spiritualism on feminism and contemporary art. A radical reappraisal of a marginalized group of artists\, The Other Side is an intoxicating blend of memoir\, biography\, and art history.

As a New Orleans native of Cuban descent\, Fredo’s culinary style is shaped by his innate appreciation for Cajun cuisine coupled with his Cuban heritage and upbringing. \n At Cane & Table\, he married the two cuisines\, resulting in vibrant\, seasonally driven menus–with the restaurant featured most recently on The New York Times’ list of “The 25 Best Restaurants in New Orleans Right Now.” The recognition joins other accolades for Cane & Table\, including Bon Appetit featuring it as one of the “Five Best New Cocktail Bars in America\,” and heralded as one of the best bars in America by Food & Wine\, Esquire\, Eater\, and THRILLIST\, and one of the best new bars in the South by Garden & Gun and Southern Living. \n At Cure\, Fredo’s small-plate menu complements the craft cocktail menu\, which was recognized by the James Beard Award in 2018 for “Outstanding Bar Program.” And\, at VALS\, as Chef-Partner\, he features a menu of Mexican-inspired cuisine\, from tacos and tostadas to ceviches. Prior to his return to New Orleans\, Fredo spent over a decade in Chicago\, notably withWilliam von Hartz on the seasonal pop-up Flipside Café\, and with Paul Kahan’s One Off Hospitality group. In 2013 he partnered with Analogue Partners and Co-Bar Directors Robby Haynes and Henry Prendergast to create the menu at Analogue\, which debuted in December 2013.

He is one of only a few of today’s native New Orleans born artists to continue the authentic traditional jazz style. Dr. White is noted for his classic New Orleans jazz clarinet sound\, for leading several popular bands\, and for his many efforts to preserve and extend the early jazz tradition. Dr. White is a relative of early generation jazz musicians\, including bassist Papa John Joseph\, clarinetist Willie Joseph\, and saxophonist and clarinetist Earl Fouche. \nWhite is also a jazz historian\, producer\, lecturer\, and consultant. He has developed and performed many jazz history themed programs. He has written and published numerous essays in books\, journals\, and other publications. For several years he served as a guest coach at the Juilliard Music School (Juilliard Jazz). He was the musical director for numerous Jazz at Lincoln Center concerts. He has been the traditional jazz consultant and coordinator for the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival since 1995. White has also had a long association of performing and recording with acclaimed trumpeter Wynton Marsalis. \n\nAbout Dawoud Bey: Elegy\nDawoud Bey: Elegy draws upon the factual and imagined realities of the early African American presence in the United States. Including forty-five black-and-white photographs and two film installations\, the exhibition elucidates the deeply profound historical memory still embedded in geography at historically significant sites in Virginia\, Louisiana and Ohio. Through the interweaving of three photographic series—”Stony the Road “(2023)\, “In This Here Place” (2019)\, and “Night Coming Tenderly\, Black” (2017)—Bey offers a framework through which to conceptualize the landscapes of Virginia\, Louisiana\, and Ohio (respectively) through images that convey the memories of our shared American past. \nLearn More \nThank You to Our Supporters\nNOMA at Night is supported in part by grant funds from Ruby K. Worner Charitable Trust through the PNC Charitable Trusts Grant Review Committee; 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.

Life is hell for all the slaves\, but especially bad for Cora; an outcast even among her fellow Africans\, she is coming into womanhood—where even greater pain awaits. When Caesar\, a recent arrival from Virginia\, tells her about the Underground Railroad\, they decide to take a terrifying risk and escape. Matters do not go as planned—Cora kills a young white boy who tries to capture her. Though they manage to find a station and head north\, they are being hunted. \nIn Whitehead’s ingenious conception\, the Underground Railroad is no mere metaphor—engineers and conductors operate a secret network of tracks and tunnels beneath the Southern soil. Cora and Caesar’s first stop is South Carolina\, in a city that initially seems like a haven. But the city’s placid surface masks an insidious scheme designed for its black denizens. And even worse: Ridgeway\, the relentless slave catcher\, is close on their heels. Forced to flee again\, Cora embarks on a harrowing flight\, state by state\, seeking true freedom. \nLike the protagonist of Gulliver’s Travels\, Cora encounters different worlds at each stage of her journey—hers is an odyssey through time as well as space. As Whitehead brilliantly re-creates the unique terrors for black people in the pre–Civil War era\, his narrative seamlessly weaves the saga of America from the brutal importation of Africans to the unfulfilled promises of the present day. The Underground Railroad is at once a kinetic adventure tale of one woman’s ferocious will to escape the horrors of bondage and a shattering\, powerful meditation on the history we all share.

SUMMARY:Book Club: Rolland Golden: Life\, Love\, and Art in the French Quarter
DESCRIPTION:NOMA’s book club meets monthly to discuss fiction and non-fiction books related to art in the museum’s collection and exhibitions.  \nIt 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 to participate. In addition to monthly book discussions\, the book club meets periodically for curatorial programs related to the book selections.  \nBooks are selected in advance and planned according to the museum’s exhibition schedule. Participants are expected to procure their own copy of the titles. Selections are also available at the NOMA Museum Shop\, where museum members receive a 10% discount. \nRegister Now \nMeetings are held in person or via Zoom. All meetings begin at 12 pm. For more information or questions\, please email programs@noma.org. \n\nAbout the Book\nRolland Golden: Life\, Love\, and Art in the French Quarter\nby Rolland Golden\n\n\nIn the early twentieth century\, the French Quarter had become home to a vibrant community of working artists attracted to the atmosphere\, architecture\, and colorful individuals who populated the scene (and who also became some of its first preservationists). Louisiana native Rolland Golden was one of these artists to live\, work\, and raise a family in this most storied corner of New Orleans. With 94 black-and-white and 54 color photographs and illustrations\, his memoir of that life focuses on the period of 1955 to 1976. Golden\, a painter\, discusses the particular challenges of making a living from art\, and his story becomes a family affair involving his daughters and his beloved wife\, Stella. \nGolden’s studio sat in a patio on Royal Street\, around the corner from Preservation Hall where old-time musicians played Dixieland Jazz. Golden sketched and painted many of them in a visual style that encompassed realism and gradually developed into abstract realism. Golden recalls work that he did in historic preservation\, sketching architecture for publications such as the Vieux Carré Courier\, and he discusses his studies with renowned regionalist painter John McCrady. The artist frankly discusses his experiences with the display\, representation\, and sale of his work\, presenting a little-explored and yet crucial part of a working artist’s life. The memoir concludes with Golden and his wife traveling to the premiere of his exhibition in Moscow\, having been selected by a Russian envoy as the only American artist to have a one-man touring exhibition in the former Soviet Union. Among the nearly 150 black-and-white and color illustrations are never-before-seen photos and sketches by the artist.

The first presentation of its kind\, New African Masquerades offers a rare look into contemporary West African masquerade by contextualizing the works of individual artists within a range of social\, economic\, and religious practices and examining their networks of viewership and exchange. \nLearn More \nAbout Kumasi\nKumasi is New Orleans’ own full Afrobeat orchestra. We fell in love with a style of music created over 50 years ago by Fela Kuti and Tony Allen\, and we bring it to the people of New Orleans with live shows\, as well as three recorded albums. You can expect lots of Fela Kuti tunes and some Afrofunk from ’70s Ghana and Benin in our live shows\, and we play and record our original music inspired by those styles. Our original songs are primarily of protest\, as well as vigilance toward change and collective growth\, but composed to make people move\, groove\, and be inspired. \nAbout Jer’Lisa Devezin\nJer’Lisa J. Devezin is an artist and educator born and raised in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans\, LA. She earned her BA from Dillard University and MFA from Southern Methodist University. Heavily influenced by her upbringing in the city\, Jer’Lisa’s work engages research through a black feminist lens centering identity\, sexuality\, Black studies\, and Southern culture\, specifically focusing on New Orleans and socioeconomics. \nThank You to Our Supporters\nNOMA at Night is supported in part by grant funds from Ruby K. Worner Charitable Trust through the PNC Charitable Trusts Grant Review Committee; 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:Gallery Talk with Elenora “Rukiya” Brown
DESCRIPTION:Every week\, NOMA hosts gallery talks in the museum and the Besthoff Sculpture Garden led by curators\, artists\, and other special guests. These lively\, participatory conversations provide a moment to take a close look at one work—or a selection of works—currently on view. \nThis week\, join us for a gallery talk led by local artist and designer Elenora “Rukiya” Brown on works in the exhibition New African Masquerades: Artistic Innovations and Collaborations. \nRukiya will lead two iterations of this gallery talk: the first will take place from 12:30-1:00 pm\, and the second from 6:00-6:30 pm the same evening. \nIncluded with museum admission\, which is free for Louisiana residents every Wednesday courtesy of The Helis Foundation’s Art for All initiative. When you arrive at NOMA\, check in at the admissions desk for directions to the appropriate location. \n\nAbout Elenora “Rukiya” Brown\nRukiya is an artist and designer\, recognized among her peers and protégés for fusing both historical influence from People of Color traditions with contemporary times. She is internationally known for making beautiful “soft sculptures” Mardi Gras InJun suits. Featured with her is one of her personal dolls from the Unclaimed Memories Hurricane Katrina collection. \nRukiya calls her art a type of therapy—that healing begins with herself and goes out to others. All of her artwork is an offering to the community of Color\, to inform and inspire based on her research\, weaving in the majesty of life. Rukiya treats none of her creations as a “job” in the traditional sense; it’s more the joy of the experience while doing. She is perhaps then a mixed media artist in the truest form. \nGifted as a quilter and storyteller of quilts\, art and fashion designer\, and master beader as well\, her talents are sought by novices\, major art enthusiasts\, and wealthy collectors. Rukiya has participated in New Orleans JazzFest for many years\, winning numerous awards. She is acknowledging her Chahta American Indian bloodline ancestry. She masks with Big Chief Monk Boudreaux’s Golden Eagles tribe\, and she fully represents the New Orleans culture of masking Mardi Gras InJun. \nRukiya’s Mardi Gras InJun suit When People Could Fly (2014) was acquired by the New Orleans Museum of Art. The White Buffalo Calf Woman (2017) suit is a part of the permanent exhibit at the Musée du Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac\, in Paris\, France. The Metamorphosis (2013) was featured in Tina Freeman’s award-winning book\, Artist Spaces:NEW Orleans (Louisiana Artists).

SUMMARY:Gallery Talk with Jer'Lisa Devezin
DESCRIPTION:Every week\, NOMA hosts gallery talks in the museum and the Besthoff Sculpture Garden led by curators\, artists\, and other special guests. These lively\, participatory conversations provide a moment to take a close look at one work—or a selection of works—currently on view. \nThis week\, join Creative Assembly member Jer’Lisa Devezin  for a conversation about Leonardo Drew’s piece Number 59S. This talk will be held at 12:30 pm and 6:00 pm. \nIncluded with museum admission\, which is free for Louisiana residents every Wednesday courtesy of The Helis Foundation’s Art for All initiative. When you arrive at NOMA\, check in at the admissions desk for directions to the appropriate location. \n\nAbout Jer’Lisa Devezin\nJer’Lisa Devezin\, Creative Assembly 2025 \nJer’Lisa J. Devezin is an artist and educator born and raised in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans\, LA. She earned her BA from Dillard University and MFA from Southern Methodist University. Heavily influenced by her upbringing in the city\, Jer’Lisa’s work engages research through a black feminist lens centering identity\, sexuality\, Black studies\, and Southern culture\, specifically focusing on New Orleans and socioeconomics. Devezin’s practice integrates ceramic and sculptural processes such as welded steel\, woven forms\, cast slip\, plaster\, and metal. Her research on materials like clay\, metal\, and fibers engages with the function of materiality and is intentionally used to coexist and initiate conversations between the viewer and the work. Devezin is based in New Orleans and works as an Assistant Professor of Art at Tulane University.
