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.

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).

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).

Learn more about the upcoming Great Hall installation of grand scale Peruvian Vice-Regal paintings\, opening September 30th. \nLearn More \n7:00 pm | Live Salterio (Psaltery) Performance and Lecture with Marc Armitano Domingo\nMusician and researcher Marc Armitano Domingo will perform on the salterio (psaltery)\, a historical dulcimer instrument. The performance will be interspersed and connected with his lecture titled “The Hispanic Psaltery in the Americas.” \nBeverages and Light Bites from Café NOMA\nEnjoy specialty cocktails\, mocktails and a light bites menu from Café NOMA leading up to Armitano Domingo’s lecture. \n\nAdditional Information\nAbout Marc Armitano Domingo\n \nMarc Armitano Domingo (b. 1996) is a multidisciplinary artist based in New York City\, working across oil painting\, porcelain\, and historical music performance. His visual work delves into sacred and natural themes\, rendered through shadowy\, atmospheric\, and whimsical compositions on copper\, linen\, and porcelain.  \nAs a leading performer and researcher of the salterio—a historical dulcimer popular in 17th- and 18th-century Spain\, Italy\, and colonial Latin America—Armitano Domingo focuses on reconstructing both the repertoire and authentic playing techniques. He performs on a replica 18th-century salterio\, using special finger rings to pluck the strings rather than hammers. \nAcross media\, his work engages with history and memory whether through nostalgic\, tenebrous landscapes\, delicate porcelain forms\, or the vibrant\, resonant sound of the salterio. His practice confronts the cultural amnesia that allows once-important traditions to fade\, reclaiming forgotten forms and questioning why they were so readily lost to history.
