SUMMARY:Hollow Tree Film Screening and Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Lapis Center for the Arts for a screening of Kira Akerman’s award-winning documentary Hollow Tree\, followed by a conversation with the film’s leading protagonists Mekenzie Fanguy\, Annabelle Pavy\, and Tanielma DaCosta (moderated by Kimbrielle Boult\, NOMA’s Community Engagement Coordinator) on the creation and impact of the film. \nHollow Tree follows three teenagers coming of age in their sinking homeland of Louisiana. For the first time\, they notice the Mississippi River’s engineering\, stumps of cypress trees\, and billowing smokestacks. Their different perspectives—as Indigenous\, white\, and Angolan young women—shape their story of the climate crisis. \nThis program is free and open to the public. Registration is highly encouraged. \nREGISTER NOW \nAbout the Film\nStill from “Hollow Tree” by Kira Ackerman \nHollow Tree\, a 73-minute award-winning documentary directed by Kira Akerman and produced by Monique Walton and Chachi Hauser\, invites three young women to learn with the director\, filmmaking team\, and their respective communities. Mekenzie Fanguy (Houma\, Louisiana) was born on coastal bayous and is a member of the United Houma Nation; Annabelle Pavy (Lafayette\, Louisiana) is from a mostly white community\, where climate change is largely viewed as a myth; and Tanielma DaCosta (Baton Rouge\, Louisiana) immigrated from Angola\, Africa when she was 6. They travel to different sites along the Mississippi River\, where they engage in dialogue with engineers\, activists\, and Indigenous leaders. As these young women notice their surroundings\, they begin to imagine Louisiana’s past—its history of slavery\, Indigenous dispossession\, and colonization—and\, by extension\, Louisiana’s future\, which they will experience and help to shape. Many of Hollow Tree’s screenings include accompanying learning experiences for audiences\, which have been created in partnership with the Climate Museum\, Columbia’s Climate School\, the Museum of the Moving Image\, the University of Mississippi\, and the Small Center at Tulane University. \nKira Akerman is a documentary filmmaker and educator. Her film Hollow Tree won a Jury Prize at the New Orleans Film Festival\, and an award for Best Documentary at Chicago’s International Children’s Festival. Her work has been supported by the International Documentary Association\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Sundance Institute\, the Redford Center\, and others. Kira received the 2019 PBS Wyncote Fellowship\, the 2019 Sundance Talent Forum Fellowship\, the 2020 Gotham Documentary Lab\, and the 2021 Climate Story Lab. Her short films have been featured in The Atlantic\, The Newcomb Art Museum at Tulane University\, the Ford Foundation Gallery\, the Camden International Film Festival\, MOMA\, the Rotterdam Film Festival\, Clermont-Ferrand\, and others. Kira has collaborated extensively with Ripple Effect\, a New Orleans based water literacy educational nonprofit\, and the former Center for the Gulf South at Tulane University\, an interdisciplinary\, place-based institute that promotes the understanding of New Orleans and the Gulf South region. She is currently a fellow at the Hutchins Center for African and African American Studies at Harvard University. \nTanielma DaCosta is one of the three protagonists of Hollow Tree. She was born in Angola and raised in Baton Rouge\, LA. She is a senior at Louisiana State University studying computer & electrical engineering\, international studies\, and French. Along with being an environmental educator\, she is developing sustainable battery technology as a member of the Nano Electronic Structures and Technology Lab led by Dr. Theda Daniels-Race. \nAnabelle Pavy Born in Lafayette\, Louisiana\, Annbelle grew up in a household of artists. Her childhood was filled with creativity and exploration. When Annabelle first met Kira Akerman of Hollow Tree\, she was 16. During the project\, Annabelle solidified her love for community and culture\, and today\, based in New Orleans\, she uses her creative skills to work with organizations and individuals interested in the betterment of her community.\n\nMekenzie Fanguy Born and raised in Houma\, Louisiana\, Mekenzie Fanguy is 24 years old. She is one of the three protagonists of the film Hallow Tree.  She is a student at Nicholls University studying business administration. She is set to graduate next year.\n

Growing up visiting the Art Institute of Chicago\, Rosales was captivated by Renaissance painting – but years later\, her daughter’s simple observation that “they don’t look like me” exposed the exclusion at the heart of that tradition. That moment sparked Rosales’s artistic journey: reimagining Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces with Black protagonists and centering West African tradition.\n\nShe lives in Los Angeles\, CA.\n\nCCH Pounder\nActress and art collector CCH Pounder \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nAward-winning actress CCH Pounder has been extensively involved with the arts as a patron\, collector\, gallery owner and museum founder. Ms. Pounder’s Collection consists of Caribbean and African artists and artists of the African Diaspora. The Collection\, which comprises over 500 pieces\, is heavily concentrated in the area of Contemporary Art but also includes traditional African sculptures. In 1992\, Ms. Pounder and her husband\, the late Boubacar Koné\, founded and built the Musée Boribana\, the first privately owned contemporary museum in Dakar Senegal\, which they gifted to that nation in 2014.  Numerous exhibits have been mounted featuring pieces from Ms. Pounder’s Collection including The Charles G. Wright Museum of African History in Detroit\, the DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center in Chicago\, the African American Museum in Philadelphia and the African Diaspora Art Museum of Atlanta. Other loans & exhibits have included the National Portrait Gallery in London\, Xavier University in New Orleans\, Kent State Museum\, Spelman College Museum of Art and Memphis Brooks Museum of Art\, among many others. \nChronicles of Ori: An African Epic\n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nIn Chronicles of Ori\, her debut book\, Harmonia Rosales retells the African myths she has long treasured\, crafting an enthralling epic that spans the birth of the universe to the modern world of colonialism and resistance. She writes of the powerful\, temperamental deities called the Orishas; of the founding of Yorubaland by the shrewd leader Oduduwa; of the young heroine Eve\, born in a time of violence and despair\, who would help her people regain their past splendor; and of shimmering serpents and monstrous shadows who stalk the lands of mortals. At the center of these linked tales is the bond\, sometimes fraying\, between the Orishas and the humans who worship them. It was the Orishas who made humans\, and who gave them their most precious resource: their Oris\, or destinies. Vividly brought to life by Rosales’s artwork\, Chronicles of Ori will enlighten and delight readers for years to come. \nNAACP IMAGE AWARDS Nominee for Outstanding Literary Work\, Fiction\nOne of Hyperallergic’s Favorite Art Books of 2025\n“[R]ichly evocative…a brilliant and beautiful volume.” —Booklist\, starred review\n“A lavish\, eye-catching rethinking of ages-old stories.” —Kirkus Reviews\, starred review

SUMMARY:20th Annual Tulane Maya Symposium: Cities of the Maya People in the Rainforest
DESCRIPTION:Join the Middle American Research Institute (MARI) for their 20th Annual Tulane Maya Symposium. This year’s keynote address by Dr. M. Charlotte Arnauld will be on Cities of the Maya People in the Rainforest and held in NOMA’s Lapis Center for the Arts.  \nThe lecture will begin at 6:30 pm\, followed by a reception in the adjacent Coleman Courtyard at 7:30 pm. \nRegistration for the lecture and following reception is free and open to the public. \nRegister Now \n\nAbout the Lecture\nThe ancient Maya cities were places of daily sociopolitical and economic interaction\, like all cities\, yet with a high proportion of agricultural activities. As fixed places of concentrated population in the lowland rainforest with scattered and seasonal resources\, the clustering of Maya settlements caused structural tensions between the place of residence and the place of subsistence production for the peasants\, and\, above all\, specific construction strategies and neighborhood-level social dynamics. During the Terminal Classic period\, these dynamics led to acute sociopolitical tensions between kings and nobles and\, following the collapse of dynasties\, to gradual urban transformations\, until the lowland urban system was almost completely relocated during the eleventh century. \nAbout the Speaker\n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nDr. M. Charlotte Arnauld is Emeritus Research Director at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (Laboratoire Archéologie des Amériques\, France). As a Mesoamerican archaeologist\, she has directed or co-directed five long-term projects in Guatemala and Mexico. She specializes in Maya urban studies\, exploring neighborhood dynamics and population mobility as part of her broader work in social archaeology. Her co-edited volumes include The Neighborhood as a Social and Spatial Unit in Mesoamerican Cities\, Mobility and Migration in Ancient Mesoamerican Cities\, and Building an Archaeology of Maya Urbanism. She has published in the Journal de la Société des Américanistes\, Ancient Mesoamerica\, and the Journal of Anthropological Archaeology.
