SUMMARY:Women in Masquerade Panel Discussion: Women Cultivating Legacy
DESCRIPTION:In Liberia\, Sierra Leone\, Guinea\, the Ivory Coast\, and New Orleans\, women in masquerade carry the power and culture of the women before them\, ensuring their histories live on in future generations. Through performances involving elaborate ornamentation\, women create and use ornate suits to commemorate\, uphold\, and progress the role of women in cultural traditions on the continent of Africa and throughout the diaspora. \nThis program\, presented in connection with the exhibition New African Masquerades: Artistic Innovations and Collaborations\, offers a fresh perspective on how women’s power and presence span the scope from silent architects shaping practice to influential leaders in cultural expression. Cherice Harrison-Nelson and Tribal Queen Bee will be joined by moderator Kristiana Rae Colón for this important conversation on the legacy of women across global masquerade arts. \nAdmission and registration for this event are free. \nRegister Now \nNOTE: Registration guarantees you a seat until the beginning of the program. Standing room will be allowed. \n\nBios\nCherice Harrison-Nelson is an educator\, artist\, and arts administrator who co-founded and curated the former Mardi Gras Indian Hall of Fame. She is the co-editor of eleven publications and coordinator of numerous exhibitions and discussions focused on West African-inspired cultural traditions in New Orleans. She contributed to original\, hand-beaded Carnival Day ceremonial attire\, worn by her son and later acquired by the Smithsonian Institution\, Anacostia Museum in Washington\, DC. Production credits include the award-winning narrative short film\, “Keeper of the Flame.” She is the recipient of several honors\, including: Fulbright Scholarship to study at the University of Saint-Louis in Senegal and the University of Ghana at Accra\, Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities Teacher of the Year\, Mayor’s Arts Award\, and 2016 United States Artist Fellowship. She approaches her art with the specific intent to engage observers through performance that simultaneously explores femininity\, classism\, and confining norms. She uses imagery from her family history\, ancestral homeland\, and personal experiences. To quote\, “I am not masking when I debut my ceremonial attire on Carnival morning\, I am revealing my authentic self\, naked and rooted in the strength of my personal history. I cannot mask as myself.” She has a solo exhibition\, Maroon Queen\, on view through August 31\, 2025\, at the New Orleans African American Museum in the Historic Treme neighborhood. \n \nTribal Queen Bee was born Littdell S. Banister in New Orleans\, Louisiana\, on October 5\, 1934. She is the Tribal Queen of the Creole Wild West Tribe (hailing from Uptown New Orleans) and is the Senior actively masking Queen in the New Orleans Mardi Gras Indian tradition. Tribal Queen Bee is 90 years old and started masking in 1973. After starting her six-year-old son\, Honey\, on the Indian path\, Tribal Queen Bee joined the Creole Wild West tribe\, where her son is now Flag Boy of the Tribe. Due to his young age\, Queen Bee chaperoned Honey for three years as he traveled throughout the Black Masking Indian terrains. The Tribe’s Big Chief invited her to join the group because she was committed to the practice and consistently present in the culture’s circles\, and thus began her journey as a Mardi Gras Indian. She later ascended to the position of Tribal Queen\, which\, as she explains…”It’s different from a Big Queen. A Big Queen is the Chief’s Queen and must always be next to the Chief. A Tribal Queen is over the entire Tribe.” Tribal Queen Bee and her son Flag Boy Honey have been masking for over fifty years. \n \nKristiana Rae Colón is a poet\, playwright\, actor\, educator\, producer\, curator\, creator of #BlackSexMatters\, co-founder of the #LetUsBreathe Collective\, and Writer/Producer on Showtime’s hit series The Chi. Her plays have been produced in London\, New York\, Chicago\, and the USA. Kristiana’s collection of poems titled “promised instruments” won the inaugural Drinking Gourd Poetry Prize and was published by Northwestern University Press. Her play Tilikum won a Joseph Jefferson Award for Best New Play. Published plays include “Octagon” and “but i cd only whisper”. She appeared on the fifth season of the Home Box Office (HBO) Def Poetry Jam. Kristiana writes\, produces\, and organizes to cast spells for the embodiment of liberated futures.

Lagasse\, Chef and Co-Owner of Emeril’s and Vice President of The Emeril Group\n \nE.J. Lagasse fell in love with food at a very young age. As the son of Chef Emeril Lagasse\, he spent most of his early years in kitchens and at home where the family table was a central part of daily life. Cooking with his dad at home and exploring new culinary experiences were fundamental to his childhood and instilled an appreciation and respect for seasonality and nature that has led to his dedication to culinary artistry. \nAt 13\, he started working in the kitchen at Meril Restaurant in New Orleans\, and throughout high school he continued working for his father at Emeril’s Coastal in Florida. During summer breaks\, E.J. had an opportunity to stage at highly acclaimed Café Boulud in New York City where he gained invaluable experience training under Daniel Boulud. He went on to spend nearly two years training at the celebrated Le Bernardin with Eric Ripert. After graduating from culinary school at Johnson & Wales\, he spent time refining his skills in some of the world’s most renowned kitchens including Core by Clare Smyth in London and Frantzén in Stockholm. \nIn 2022\, E.J. returned to New Orleans to take the helm as Chef\, Co-Owner where he leads the day-to-day restaurant operations. Following an extensive renovation in 2023\, the flagship reopened with a refined menu thatpays homage to the restaurant’s rich culinary heritage while incorporating innovative techniques and modern adaptations of Chef Emeril’s classics. Chef E.J. draws inspiration from the bounty of Louisiana’s produce from the area’s most dedicated farmers\, fisherman and producers to craft an evolved menu that tells a story through food and nature. \nIn 2023\, E.J. received the prestigious ‘New Talent of the Year’ award from La Liste\, the restaurant guide and ranking that designates the world’s best 1\,000 restaurants. ln 2024\, Emeril’s received AAA’s esteemed FiveDiamond Designation and the restaurant became a member of Relais & Chateaux\, joining the list of 80independent restaurants worldwide. Emeril’s also became a new member of Les Grandes Tables du Monde\, joining 195 extraordinary restaurants across 23 countries. \n \nFood Stations and a Special Progressive Menu Inspired by the Exhibition from Ralph Brennan Catering and Events at Café NOMA\n \nLive Music from the Grammy-Nominated Cameron Dupuy and the Cajun Troubadours\n \nBorn and raised in a suburb of New Orleans\, Cameron became infatuated with the sounds of Cajun music at an early age\, which is appropriate being the son of Cajun musician\, Michael Dupuy. His father often took him to gigs where Cameron would always be on stage strumming a guitar\, banging on spoons\, or any thing he could get his hands on. As a result of Hurricane Katrina\, Cameron was exposed to Cajun music a little more after evacuating to Lafayette\, LA. On the last day of the evacuation\, Cameron finally convinced “Mr. Rick”\, who let the Dupuys stay at his house for the storm\, to let him play the accordion sitting on the shelf. Mr. Rick was not eager\, since the accordion was used to record a Grammy winning album by Jimmy Breaux\, but he decided to let him play it. He was instantly hooked on the accordion. \nFollowing his return to New Orleans\, he received his first guitar for Christmas. It was his constant hearing of Cajun music that made him want to get his father’s accordion repaired that had been broken for the past few years. After spending several years as a guitarist\, Cameron Dupuy started playing the Cajun accordion at the age of eleven. A breakout performance at The Liberty Theatre in April of 2010 led to a standing ovation\, which earned Cameron and his band “The Cajun Troubadours” an invitation to play at Festival Acadiens et Creoles by Dr. Barry Ancelet. \nCameron\, the eight-time Cajun accordion contest winner\, has now established himself as a favorite among many Cajun music fans in Louisiana. He has now recorded on three CDs; the most recent being The Mid-City Aces featuring Michael Dupuy and Gina Forsyth and the brand new Cameron Dupuy and the Cajun Troubadours self titled album. \nIn November of 2020\, the band’s debut self-titled album\, Cameron Dupuy and the Cajun Troubadours was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category of Best Regional Roots Music Album. \nAnd More!\n\nAbout the Exhibition\nFrench photographer and visual artist Nicolas Floc’h’s Fleuves-Océan project traces the movement of water across our planet\, exploring its flow through varied habitats and representing the ways we are all connected by water cycles and systems. This exhibition pairs vibrant monochromatic photographs of the color of water made under the surface with dramatic black-and-white landscape photographs made along the banks of the Mississippi and its tributaries—from Louisiana and across the country. \nNicolas Floc’h\, The Color of Water\, Water Columns: Mississippi River Delta\, from Empire\, Louisiana to the Gulf of Mexico\, 2022. 288 Pigmented ink prints.

Fenton\, and Lisa Homann\nAn exploration of contemporary African masquerade that reveals its cultural contexts\, artistic innovations\, and intersection with museum collection practices \nBy placing masquerade at the forefront of contemporary African art\, this volume shows how masquerade is a dynamic and urban phenomenon shaped by shifting global concerns. Essays examine the lack of institutional recognition offered to present-day masquerade artists and the methods used to curate masquerade art at the museum level. An international group of scholars and artists explore the motivations and creative decisions of masquerade artists\, highlighting their stories and providing a nuanced understanding of masquerade as a contemporary expression of human experience. \nThis lavishly illustrated study includes more than 150 images\, artist’s biographies\, in-depth analyses of masquerade ensembles in relation to themes of collaboration\, economics\, and meaning\, and a discussion of the methodologies for ethically commissioning and acquiring masquerade art.
