SUMMARY:Elders Sacred Talk Series: Martin Payton and Eric Waters
DESCRIPTION:NOMA and the Congo Square Preservation Society present the Elders Sacred Talk Series with prolific elder New Orleanians\, celebrating the lives they lead while providing the opportunity for visitors to learn firsthand about the impact they’ve had on our city. This conversation between Martin Payton and Eric Waters will be moderated by Ron Bechet.\n\n\nThis program is included with museum admission\, which is free for Louisiana residents every Wednesday courtesy of The Helis Foundation’s Art for All initiative.\n\n\nAbout the Speakers\nMartin Payton\n \nMartin Payton\, a native of New Orleans\, has sustained a distinguished career as both artist and educator for more than five decades. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Xavier University of Louisiana and a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles. Following his return to New Orleans\, Payton embarked on an academic career that included appointments at Southern University at New Orleans\, Southern University in Baton Rouge\, and Xavier University\, where he played a formative role in shaping successive generations of artists.\n\n\nPayton’s artistic practice is most closely identified with his monumental public sculptures and monochromatic constructions\, created through the welding of salvaged industrial steel. By reconfiguring discarded materials\, Payton engages in a process that is simultaneously aesthetic and cultural\, transforming the remnants of industrial production into abstract forms resonant with historical\, spiritual\, and communal associations. His collaborative work Spirit House with John Scott stands as a significant intervention in the visual and cultural landscape of New Orleans.\n\n\nPeyton’s work is represented in major institutional collections\, including the Ogden Museum of Southern Art\, the New Orleans Museum of Art\, the Amistad Research Center at Tulane University\, the William King Museum of Art in Virginia\, and the Rosekrans Runnymede Sculpture Garden in California. Payton’s work is recognized not only for its formal innovation but also for its critical engagement with African American cultural memory and the material legacies of labor and industry.\n\nEric Waters\n \nFor more than four decades\, photographer Eric Waters has served as a central documentarian of Black social life and cultural traditions in New Orleans. A graduate of Dillard University\, he studied photography under the late Marion J. Porter\, whose mentorship shaped his early artistic development. While Waters has been widely sought after as an event photographer\, his enduring reputation rests on his incisive visual record of Second Line parades and the ceremonial pageantry of the Mardi Gras Indian tradition—cultural expressions that lie at the heart of New Orleans’s African American community. \n  \nWaters’s photography captures the dynamism\, movement\, and layered symbolism of Black vernacular performance. His images serve as vital historical archives\, preserving traditions that both affirm and continually reinvent communal identity. His work has been featured in international\, national\, and local media outlets and publications\, including Ties That Bind and Freedom’s Dance: Social Aid and Pleasure Clubs in New Orleans (co-authored with Karen Celestan). He also co-edited SEEING BLACK: Black Photography in New Orleans\, 1840 and Beyond with Kalamu ya Salaam and Shana M. Griffin\, a landmark volume that situates Black photographers within a broader historical and cultural continuum. \n  \nWaters received the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities’ Documentary Photographer of the Year award in 2018 and was named a Joan Mitchell Foundation Artist-in-Residence in 2019. His body of work continues to be regarded as both an artistic achievement and a crucial intervention in the visual historiography of New Orleans’s Black cultural practices. \n  \n\n\n\nAbout Elders Sacred Talks and Art Thrives\nNOMA’s Art Thrives initiative presents creative aging programs designed to support visitors ages 55 and up. In addition to art-making workshops\, courses\, and opportunities for hands-on art-making\, the Elders Sacred Talk Series provides a platform for older adults in New Orleans to share their experiences with audiences of all ages. \nThe Elders Sacred Talk Series is presented in partnership between NOMA and the Congo Square Preservation Society. Art Thrives is supported by E.A. Michelson Philanthropy.

SUMMARY:National Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration 2025
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate National Hispanic American Heritage Month at NOMA\, featuring gallery talks from Lapis Curator of the Art of the Americas Orlando Hernández Ying and a live performance and lecture from Marc Armitano Domingo. \nThis program is included with museum admission\, which is free for Louisiana residents every Wednesday courtesy of The Helis Foundation’s Art for All initiative. Advanced registration is recommended. \nRegister Now \n\nProgram Details\n6:00 pm | Gallery Talk with Curator Orlando Hernández Ying\nJoin Orlando Hernández Ying\, NOMA’s Lapis Curator of the Art of the Americas\, for a Gallery Talk on Our Lady of Loreto in the newly reinstalled second floor mezzanine gallery. 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.

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 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).
