As a New Orleans native of Cuban descent\, Fredo’s culinary style is shaped by his innate appreciation for Cajun cuisine coupled with his Cuban heritage and upbringing. \n At Cane & Table\, he married the two cuisines\, resulting in vibrant\, seasonally driven menus–with the restaurant featured most recently on The New York Times’ list of “The 25 Best Restaurants in New Orleans Right Now.” The recognition joins other accolades for Cane & Table\, including Bon Appetit featuring it as one of the “Five Best New Cocktail Bars in America\,” and heralded as one of the best bars in America by Food & Wine\, Esquire\, Eater\, and THRILLIST\, and one of the best new bars in the South by Garden & Gun and Southern Living. \n At Cure\, Fredo’s small-plate menu complements the craft cocktail menu\, which was recognized by the James Beard Award in 2018 for “Outstanding Bar Program.” And\, at VALS\, as Chef-Partner\, he features a menu of Mexican-inspired cuisine\, from tacos and tostadas to ceviches. Prior to his return to New Orleans\, Fredo spent over a decade in Chicago\, notably withWilliam von Hartz on the seasonal pop-up Flipside Café\, and with Paul Kahan’s One Off Hospitality group. In 2013 he partnered with Analogue Partners and Co-Bar Directors Robby Haynes and Henry Prendergast to create the menu at Analogue\, which debuted in December 2013.

And yet spiritualism\, in various incarnations\, has influenced numerous men—including lauded modernist artists such as Wassily Kandinsky\, Piet Mondrian\, Kazimir Malevich and Paul Klee—without repercussion. The fact that so many radical female artists of their generation—and earlier—also drank deeply from the same spiritual well has been sorely neglected for too long. \nIn The Other Side\, we explore the lives and work of a group of extraordinary women\, from the twelfth-century mystic\, composer\, and artist Hildegard of Bingen to the nineteenth-century English spiritualist Georgiana Houghton\, whose paintings swirl like a cosmic Jackson Pollock; the early twentieth-century Swedish artist\, Hilma af Klint\, who painted with the help of her spirit guides and whose recent exhibition at New York’s Guggenheim broke all attendance records to the ‘Desert Transcendentalist’\, Agnes Pelton\, who painted her visions beneath the vast skies of California. We also learn about the Swiss healer\, Emma Kunz\, who used geometric drawings to treat her patients and the British surrealist and occultist\, Ithell Colquhoun\, whose estate of more than 5\,000 works recently entered the Tate gallery collection. While the individual work of these artists is unique\, the women loosely shared the same goal: to communicate with\, and learn from\, other dimensions. \nWeaving in and out of these myriad lives while sharing her own memories of otherworldly experiences\, Jennifer Higgie discusses the solace of ritual\, the gender exclusions of art history\, the contemporary relevance of myth\, the boom in alternative ways of understanding the world and the impact of spiritualism on feminism and contemporary art. A radical reappraisal of a marginalized group of artists\, The Other Side is an intoxicating blend of memoir\, biography\, and art history.

Through art\, ritual\, and remembrance\, grief declares: this mattered\, this hurts\, this was loved. \nOn Thursday\, October 16\, from 5 to 7 pm\, join us in NOMA’s Lapis Center for the Arts for a workshop led by Creative Assembly resident and visual artist Horton Humble\, moderator Robin Pharo\, visual artist Veronica Caseras Lee\, musician Ruben Watts\, and licensed marriage and family therapist Khara Scott-Bey. Participants will collaboratively create a large-scale cereal box artwork using materials linked to the five stages of grief\, illuminating how grief shapes creative expression and lived experience. \nWorkshop leaders will also share perspectives on how grief influences art—through a painter’s palette\, a musician’s notes\, and New Orleans’ cultural traditions such as the funeral procession and Second Line. \nThe mission of this workshop is to share our experiences with loss and to collectively memorialize our loved ones. Additional elements\, including an altar of names and a grief activity map\, will be available to all participants to bring these goals to life. We hope to see you there. \nThis program is free and open to all. No registration is required for this workshop.  \n\n\nAbout the Workshop Leaders\nHorton Humble\n\nHorton Humble (b. 1970\, New Orleans) is a self-taught painter and sculptor whose work explores themes of resilience\, identity\, and cultural memory.

Performances will take place alongside sculptures across the garden. \nThis installment of Music in the Garden will feature acoustic sets from Kr3wcial and saxophonist Khiry Bey. \nAttendance for this event is free. Registration is recommended. \nRegister Here \nPerformance Schedule\n\n\n\nPerformer\nTime and Location\n\n\nKhiry Bey\n2:00 – 3:00 pm\n\n\nKr3wcial\n3:00 – 4:00 pm\n\n\n\n  \n\nAbout the Performers\nKhiry Bey\n \nBorn and raised in New Orleans\, saxophonist Kirsten Theodore (Khiry Bey) began showing an interest in music at the tender age of five. As Theodore matured as a musician\, she fell in love with the alto saxophone. Since middle school\, she has played the alto sax in performances with everyone from Jon Batiste to Herbie Hancock\, won multiple awards for her solos\, and composed original music that debuted at the New\nOrleans House of Blues Music Forward Foundation. Kirsten has earned numerous awards at competitions and festivals\, starting in middle school\, when she won first place in the Louisiana District VI Honor Band\nfor three years. At age thirteen\, she was awarded “outstanding soloist” at Orlando’s Disney Music Festival and also “best soloist” at The Loyola University Jazz\nFestival. In 2017\, she was selected as a finalist for the House of Blues’s Music Forward: Bringing Down the House showcase\, where she headlined her first show.\n\nTheodore has performed and worked with many artists such as Herbie Hancock\, Jon Batiste\, Trombone Shorty\, Wendell Brunious\, Roderick Paulin\, Jessie McBride\, Clarence Johnson\, Irvin Mayfield\, Glen David Andrews\, Jeffrey “Jellybean” Alexander\, Delfeayo Marsalis\, and more. Theodore attended the Berklee College of Music Women in Jazz summer program and studied under Terri Lynne Carrington and Tia Fuller. Theodore is a graduate of the New Orleans Center For Creative Arts. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Jazz Studies at University of New Orleans and will be pursing a master’s degrees at Tulane University. While furthering her education\, she has launched a For NOLA by NOLA project with all local musicians to pay homage to the great city that created her.\nKr3wcial\n \nIn the vibrant tapestry of New Orleans’ rich musical heritage\, Kr3wcial emerges as a dynamic figure\, transcending the boundaries of traditional hip-hop. Born and raised in the heart of the Crescent City\, Kr3wcial’s music is a sonic journey through the soul of New Orleans itself. With lyrics that delve deep into the city’s intricate layers—from the gritty streets to the transcendent spirit of its people—he weaves a narrative that is both raw and poetic\, reminiscent of the city’s jazz and blues roots. Kr3wcial’s tracks\, often enlivened with the pulse of brass and the rhythm of New Orleans\, serve as a compelling commentary on the city’s multifaceted nature. Through his verses\, he explores themes of resilience\, identity\, and social consciousness. Beyond the studio\, Kr3wcial is a community advocate\, using his platform to inspire positive change. Collaborating with local nonprofits\, he harnesses the unifying power of music to uplift the very city that fuels his creativity. Kr3wcial is also an alumnus of NOMA’s Creative Assembly residency program.

It is the story of the Whitney Plantation\, one of the only former plantations devoted to preserving the experience of the enslaved people whose lives and work sustained it. It is the story of Angola\, a former plantation-turned-maximum-security prison in Louisiana that is filled with Black men who work across the 18\,000-acre land for virtually no pay. And it is the story of Blandford Cemetery\, the final resting place of tens of thousands of Confederate soldiers.A deeply researched and transporting exploration of the legacy of slavery and its imprint on centuries of American history\, How the Word Is Passed illustrates how some of our country’s most essential stories are hidden in plain view—whether in places we might drive by on our way to work\, holidays such as Juneteenth\, or entire neighborhoods like downtown Manhattan\, where the brutal history of the trade in enslaved men\, women\, and children has been deeply imprinted. \nInformed by scholarship and brought to life by the story of people living today\, Smith’s debut work of nonfiction is a landmark of reflection and insight that offers a new understanding of the hopeful role that memory and history can play in making sense of our country and how it has come to be.
