Food as Medicine: New Orleans Cuisine with Healthy Alternatives
Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden 1 Collins Diboll Circle, New Orleans , LAAs one of the culinary capitals of the world, New Orleans’s cuisine is one of the city’s most notable attributes. While many of these dishes are world renowned, their nutrition and healthiness is sometimes compromised during their creation. Lower 9th Ward native Courtney Clark has dedicated much of her multidisciplinary creative practice to community food justice organizing in an attempt to combat many of the diet-related diseases that exist within many of New Orleans’ communities.

Lecture with Kara Cooney: Women and Power in Ancient Egypt
NOMA’s Lapis Center for the ArtsIn this lecture, Dr. Kara Cooney, author of When Women Ruled the World: Six Queens of Egypt, addresses questions of ancient social inequalities and how women negotiated their limited leadership roles. How was their power expressed when regularly cloaked by a man’s dominance? Were they able to rule “behind the throne”? How much of this ancient reality still touches us today?
