SUMMARY:Elders Sacred Talk Series: Big Chief Tyrone Casby and Beverly Stanton McKenna
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. \nThis conversation between Big Chief Tyrone Casby and Beverly Stanton McKenna will be moderated by Big Chief Dow Edwards. \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\nBig Chief Tyrone Casby\n \n\nTyrone Casby is the legendary Big Chief of the Mohawk Hunters Mardi Gras Indian Tribe and a distinguished high school principal\, coach and mentor. He is lauded for perpetuating cultural pride in classrooms and communities on the Westbank of New Orleans. Casby became a part of the masking culture at the age of six following his older brother\, Wildman Ralph “Tickleman” Casby\, of the Mohawk Hunters\, through Algiers on Mardi Gras Day. He first masked with the tribe (whose first Big Chief was his uncle\, Frank Casby\, Sr) in 1966 as 2nd Spy Boy. He was appointed 1st Chief in 1979 and the next year\, he became the Big Chief. \n\nToday\, averaging 30 members\, the Mohawk Hunters is one of the largest tribes in New Orleans and the only one on the West Bank. Members have performed in Sri Lanka\, Guatemala and Honduras. Local programs include sewing and beading patches with prison inmates. Casby has masked for 58 years lifting the spirits of people in Algiers\, perpetuating the culture\, promoting positive family and community values\, and inspiring those who cross his path. \n\n\nBeverly Stanton McKenna\n \nBeverly Stanton McKenna is a publisher\, cultural preservationist\, community leader and business investor. She and her life partner (Dr. Dwight McKenna) have spent decades building institutions that make New Orleans more informed\, just\, and deeply connected to its own history. Together they revived The New Orleans Tribune\, a storied Black newspaper; created two museums (The Le Musée de f.p.c. and The George & Lean McKenna Museum of African American Art); and played a pivotal role in the revitalization of Bayou Road business district. \n\nMcKenna\, a trained journalist and cultural historian\, earned a degree in English from Tennessee State University before teaching in Washington\, D.C. and working as a public information officer for the U.S. Virgin Islands. In New Orleans\, she has mentored emerging writers and editors\, and has helped position the Tribune as a trusted voice on policy\, politics\, education\, and the daily lives of Black New Orleanians. \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:Lecture | "Here in This Place": Developing Place-Based Awareness through Land and Labor Acknowledgements
DESCRIPTION:Join us in NOMA’s Lapis Center for the Arts for a conversation on the importance of Land and Labor acknowledgments with Sherry Parfait & Solomon Matthews\, moderated by Queen Mother Sula. \nRecognizing our connections to the land and to one another is essential in fostering a sense of community\, allowing us to navigate a shared awareness of place. The land bridges our imagined past with our experiences in the present. Much of the success of Louisiana today is founded not only on the forced labor of enslaved people\, but also on the generations of experience and knowledge of indigenous nations and communities in this area. The practice of developing and using a Land Acknowledgment statement is to meaningfully recognize the original inhabitants of a location\, their experiences of forced removal\, and the dispossession of their ancestral homelands. Similarly\, a Labor Acknowledgment statement reminds us that much of the economic progress and development we see today has often been built upon the unpaid labor and forced servitude of enslaved people.  \nThis featured lecture inspired by the current special exhibitions Dawoud Bey: Elegy & Nicolas Floc’h: Fleuves-Océan\, Mississippi Watershed will explore how acknowledgment fosters community\, accountability\, and a shared awareness of place.  \nDoors open at 5:00 pm. The lecture starts at 5:30 pm\, followed by a Q&A. \nThis program is free and open to all. Seating is first come first served\, advance registration is suggested. \nREGISTER HERE \n\nAbout the Speakers and Moderator\nSherry Parfait\n \nSherry Parfait is an enrolled citizen of the United Houma Nation (UHN)\, Louisiana’s largest Indigenous Tribe\, and she has been a New Orleans resident for seven years. She provides public relations and marketing services to the UHN and serves as the Editor of the UHN Quarterly\, the Nation’s newspaper. She also works for Gordon Arata Montgomery Barnett\, a full-service law firm in downtown New Orleans\, where she provides administrative and marketing support and serves as Co-Chair of the firm’s Diversity Committee. Sherry is a Chips Quinn Scholar and a member of the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI)\, and she is Vice President of the New Orleans Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA). She is also working on a Master’s degree in Marketing & Communications at Loyola University. \n  \nSolomon Matthews\n \nBorn in Mid-City New Orleans at Charity Hospital and raised in Kenner\, Louisiana\, Solomon Matthews is a dedicated educator\, advisor\, and cultural advocate. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Northwestern State University of Louisiana and a master’s degree in Education from the University of Southern California. \nSolomon’s professional career spans academic and career advising\, as well as leadership in new student and family programs within higher education settings.
