You do not have to attend every meeting or read every book to participate.

Its watershed spans almost half the country\, Mark Twain’s travels on the river inspired our first national literature\, and jazz and blues were born in its floodplains and carried upstream. \nIn this landmark work of natural history\, Boyce Upholt tells the epic story of this wild and unruly river\, and the centuries of efforts to control it. Over thousands of years\, the Mississippi watershed was home to millions of Indigenous people who regarded “the great river” with awe and respect\, adorning its banks with astonishing spiritual earthworks. The river was ever-changing\, and Indigenous tribes embraced and even depended on its regular flooding. But the expanse of the watershed and the rich soils of its floodplain lured European settlers and American pioneers\, who had a different vision: the river was a foe to conquer. \nCenturies of human attempts to own\, contain\, and rework the Mississippi River\, from Thomas Jefferson’s expansionist land hunger through today’s era of environmental concern\, have now transformed its landscape. Upholt reveals how an ambitious and sometimes contentious program of engineering—government-built levees\, jetties\, dikes\, and dams—has not only damaged once-vibrant ecosystems but may not work much longer. Carrying readers along the river’s last remaining backchannels\, he explores how scientists are now hoping to restore what has been lost. \nRich and powerful\, The Great River delivers a startling account of what happens when we try to fight against nature instead of acknowledging and embracing its power—a lesson that is all too relevant in our rapidly changing world. \n-description from W.W. Norton & Company \nAbout Boyce Upholt\n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n  \nBoyce Upholt is a journalist and essayist whose writing has appeared in the Atlantic\, National Geographic\, the Oxford American\, and Virginia Quarterly Review\, among other publications. He is the winner of a James Beard Award for investigative journalism\, and he lives in New Orleans\, Louisiana.

He is also the author of the New York Times bestselling poetry collection Above Ground and the award-winning poetry collection Counting Descent. His writing has been published in The New Yorker\, The New York Times Magazine\, Poetry Magazine\, The Paris Review\, and elsewhere. Clint received his B.A. in English from Davidson College and a Ph.D. in Education from Harvard University. He is a staff writer at The Atlantic. \nHow the Word Is Passed: A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America\nby Clint Smith\n\n\nBeginning in his hometown of New Orleans\, Clint Smith leads the reader on an unforgettable tour of monuments and landmarks—those that are honest about the past and those that are not—that offer an intergenerational story of how slavery has been central in shaping our nation’s collective history\, and ourselves.It is the story of the Monticello Plantation in Virginia\, the estate where Thomas Jefferson wrote letters espousing the urgent need for liberty while enslaving more than four hundred people. 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.

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.

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.

He is one of only a few of today’s native New Orleans born artists to continue the authentic traditional jazz style. Dr. White is noted for his classic New Orleans jazz clarinet sound\, for leading several popular bands\, and for his many efforts to preserve and extend the early jazz tradition. Dr. White is a relative of early generation jazz musicians\, including bassist Papa John Joseph\, clarinetist Willie Joseph\, and saxophonist and clarinetist Earl Fouche. \nWhite is also a jazz historian\, producer\, lecturer\, and consultant. He has developed and performed many jazz history themed programs. He has written and published numerous essays in books\, journals\, and other publications. For several years he served as a guest coach at the Juilliard Music School (Juilliard Jazz). He was the musical director for numerous Jazz at Lincoln Center concerts. He has been the traditional jazz consultant and coordinator for the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival since 1995. White has also had a long association of performing and recording with acclaimed trumpeter Wynton Marsalis. \n\nAbout Dawoud Bey: Elegy\nDawoud Bey: Elegy draws upon the factual and imagined realities of the early African American presence in the United States. Including forty-five black-and-white photographs and two film installations\, the exhibition elucidates the deeply profound historical memory still embedded in geography at historically significant sites in Virginia\, Louisiana and Ohio. Through the interweaving of three photographic series—”Stony the Road “(2023)\, “In This Here Place” (2019)\, and “Night Coming Tenderly\, Black” (2017)—Bey offers a framework through which to conceptualize the landscapes of Virginia\, Louisiana\, and Ohio (respectively) through images that convey the memories of our shared American past. \nLearn More \nThank You to Our Supporters\nNOMA at Night is supported in part by grant funds from Ruby K.
