SUMMARY:Butterfly Music Series: Henrietta Alves
DESCRIPTION:Experience part of Super Bowl LIX history and enjoy music played on Suleika Jaouad and Jon Batiste’s custom Yamaha piano on view at NOMA. Batiste performed his moving rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner on this instrument in the Caesars Superdome during the Super Bowl pregame show. \nThis series celebrates the piano’s residency at NOMA and pays homage to the musical history of New Orleans by inviting New Orleans–based musicians to offer intimate sets in NOMA’s Lapis Center for the Arts\, which also features bas-relief murals by Enrique Alférez. \nThis installment of the Butterfly Music Series will feature pianist Henrietta Alves. Previous performers have included Amina Figarova\, David Torkanowsky\, Tonya Boyd Cannon\, Sam Kuslan\, and others. \nAttendance is included with museum admission. Preregistration for this event is recommended. Seating is limited and not guaranteed with attendance. \nRegister Now \n\nAbout Henrietta Alves\nHenrietta Alves—called “a New Orleans legend” by WWOZ\, “the Amazing Henrietta” by AntiGravity Magazine\, and introduced by Quint Davis as “a New Orleans institution”—has been a beloved local musician and songwriter for more than 40 years. Her popular Mardi Gras song was recorded with Smokey Johnson (Fats Domino’s drummer) and George French (Fats’ bassist and Cosimo Matassa studio musician). She began recording in the early 1970s in Memphis with producer Willie Mitchell and has contributed to numerous New Orleans projects\, including a jazz album with Flora Purim and a WEZB compilation of the city’s top pop acts. \nA versatile\, ageless singer now in her 80s\, Henrietta performs weekly at Holy Diver in Tremé and has maintained a strong presence across the region for 45 years with regular appearances at Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro\, Pat O’Brien’s Piano Bar\, and Morgan Freeman’s Ground Zero Blues Club in Biloxi. She’s performed Brazilian jazz at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival — she and bandleader Edu were famously the first couple married at Jazz Fest in 1982 — and has sung the National Anthem at Saints games on multiple occasions.\n\nOn television she’s frequently cast as the quintessential “older New Orleans–style singing pianist\,” appearing in series such as HBO’s Togetherness and TNT’s Claws. Nationally she’s performed at iconic venues including the Troubadour\, Chateau Marmont\, the Roosevelt Hotel (L.A.)\, Catch a Rising Star and Mimi’s Piano Bar (NYC). Internationally she has brought her New Orleans–inflected music to audiences in Japan\, Italy and Brazil\, and she has played private events for corporations and celebrities. Renowned for her warm\, intimate connection with audiences\, Henrietta continues to captivate crowds of any size.\nAbout the Work\nFor a limited time\, NOMA visitors have the unique opportunity to see the custom piano played by acclaimed musical artist Jon Batiste during the Super Bowl LIX pregame show. On view in the museum’s Lapis Center for the Arts\, the vibrant and colorful grand piano features a design by artist and bestselling author Suleika Jaouad\, who is Batiste’s wife. \nLEARN MORE

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. After returning home to New Orleans\, he transitioned into community-based arts and cultural work\, first serving as the Community Programs Director at Ashé Cultural Arts Center and now as its Program Officer. He also teaches as an adjunct faculty member in Delgado Community College’s Adult Education program. In all his roles\, Solomon is committed to strengthening community engagement\, expanding creative programming\, and uplifting the cultural legacy of the city. \n  \nQueen Mother Sula\n \nQueen Mother Sula’s bio will be available soon.

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.

He is also an original member of the Bucket Men Social Aid and Pleasure Club. Getteridge is a well-known and highly respected community member whose image has been captured and exhibited worldwide by local\, national\, and international photographers. He has been interviewed across local media channels to discuss the evolution of his suits from spangles and bells in the 1960s and 70s to the modern\, complex beadwork and African-centered motifs he wears today \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.

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
