SUMMARY:Book Club: Hayward Oubre: Structural Integrity Edited by Katelyn D. Crawford
DESCRIPTION:NOMA’s book club meets monthly to discuss fiction and non-fiction books related to art in the museum’s collection and exhibitions. \nThis month’s book club selection is the exhibition catalogue for Hayward Oubre: Structural Integrity. This ground-breaking book is devoted to the life and work of Hayward Oubre\, bringing together important examples of Oubre’s sculptures\, paintings\, and prints to explore his career\, creative process\, and legacy. \nRegister Now \n\nAbout NOMA’s Book Club\nNOMA’s book club is an informal group open to anyone on a month-to-month basis. You do not have to attend every meeting or read every book to participate. In addition to monthly book discussions\, the book club meets periodically for curatorial programs related to the book selections.  \nBooks are selected in advance and planned according to the museum’s exhibition schedule. Participants are expected to procure their own copy of the titles. Selections are also available at the NOMA Museum Shop\, where museum members receive a 10% discount. \nMeetings are held in person or via Zoom. All meetings begin at 12 pm. For more information or questions\, please email programs@noma.org. \n\nAbout the Book\nHayward Oubre: Structural Integrity\nBest known for his wire sculptures\, Hayward L. Oubre\, Jr. (1916–2006)\, was an important Black American artist and educator\, who has until now received little attention from scholars and museums. He created sculptures\, paintings\, and prints that tested the bounds of each of these mediums. These works share a previously untold history of American modernism rooted in the South. Academically-trained\, Oubre worked with an everyday material—wire coat hangers—that led some early critics to associate his sculpture with folk art\, despite wire rising to prominence as a material for modernist sculptors in this period. While making his art he also trained a subsequent generation of artists through his teaching\, first at Alabama State College (now Alabama State University)\, from 1949 to 1965\, and then at Winston-Salem State University\, from 1965 to 1981\, both Historically Black Colleges and Universities. \nWithin Oubre’s story is a history of Alabama art shaping American art that has never been written. This new volume\, and its accompanying exhibition\, will begin to tell this story\, laying the foundation for future projects on the work of Black artists in Alabama and the South. \n-description from the Birmingham Museum of Art \nAbout Katelyn D. Crawford\nKatelyn D. Crawford\, PhD\, is the William Cary Hulsey Curator of American Art at the Birmingham Museum of Art\, AL.

SUMMARY:Book Club: Chronicles of Ori: An African Epic by Harmonia Rosales
DESCRIPTION:NOMA’s book club meets monthly to discuss fiction and non-fiction books related to art in the museum’s collection and exhibitions. \nThis month’s book club selection is Chronicles of Ori: An African Epic\,  Rosales’ debut book in which she 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. \nRegister Now \n\nAbout NOMA’s Book Club\nNOMA’s book club is an informal group open to anyone on a month-to-month basis. You do not have to attend every meeting or read every book to participate. In addition to monthly book discussions\, the book club meets periodically for curatorial programs related to the book selections.  \nBooks are selected in advance and planned according to the museum’s exhibition schedule. Participants are expected to procure their own copy of the titles. Selections are also available at the NOMA Museum Shop\, where museum members receive a 10% discount. \nMeetings are held in person or via Zoom. All meetings begin at 12 pm. For more information or questions\, please email programs@noma.org. \n\nAbout the Book\nChronicles of Ori: An African Epic\nChronicles of Ori: An African Epic is the debut book by celebrated American artist Harmonia Rosales\, retelling the West African myths of her childhood in an enthralling new format. While the original stories of the Orishas were passed down through traditional oral storytelling\, Chronicles of Ori Rosales presents a linear narrative framework\, weaving age-old and her own ancestral knowledge to shape a sweeping and singular literary experience. This contemporary retelling of an ancient mythology expands the universe of Yoruba spirituality. It reflects humanity’s collective journey and ongoing struggles while revealing profound connections not only to other African folktales but to religious narratives from far corners of the world. \nChronicles of Ori is a remarkable work\, its visual beauty and literary elegance at once familiar and radical. Rosales’s twenty-seven luminous paintings enhance each story\, simultaneously honoring the beautiful physicality of the human form while evoking the transcendent spiritual world. \n-description provided by the author \nAbout Harmonia Rosales\nHarmonia Rosales\, Artist and Author of “Chronicles of Ori: An African Epic” \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\n\n  \n  \nHarmonia Rosales is an American artist from Chicago whose work depicts and honors African myths and the diaspora. Her artwork is held by numerous public and private collections across the United States. She lives in Los Angeles\, California.
