SUMMARY:Virtual Screening and Director's Talk: The Veil
DESCRIPTION:Newcomb Art Museum is excited to screen “The Veil”\, a brave documentary film shot in New Orleans by Raven Ancar (’22)\, a current student at Tulane majoring in Sociology and Digital Media Practices. Ancar is also President of Tulane Black Student Union\, a founding member of Les Griots Violets\, and a College Track Scholar. In January of 2019\, during her first year at Tulane\, Ancar filmed several sit-down interviews with fellow Black students about their experiences on campus to interrogate W. E. B. Du Bois’ notions of “the veil” and “double-consciousness”\, as presented in his 1903 book “The Souls of Black Folks.” Created from an activist point of view\, this first feature-length film by Ancar candidly probes topics of diversity\, inclusion\, racism and white supremacy culture in our region. Thursday\, May 20th\, 6pm CST screening followed by live talkback between director and audience at 7:15pm CST   \nRead more about Ancar’s inspiration for creating the film and RSVP for the virtual screening!

SUMMARY:Louisiana Reimagines: High Culture Below Sea Level - Part 1
DESCRIPTION:Behind the Scenes with Laura Anderson Barbata and Shaka Zulu \n“Louisiana Reimagines: High Culture Below Sea Level” is an exchange between Laura Anderson Barbata and local tradition bearers from the Black Masking Indian tradition that responds to the garments and stilt dancing projects presented in the Newcomb Art Museum’s 2021 exhibition “Transcommunality”. Offering a look into the cultural world of Big Chief Shaka Zulu of the Golden Feather Hunters\, this program is centered on Shaka Zulu’s distinct yet ever-evolving New Orleans practice which combines procession\, drumming\, elaborate 3d suits\, and West African stilt dancing.  \nIn March and April 2021 during the Covid-19 pandemic\, the two artists conducted a series of conversations via Zoom. Together they explored many topics related to creativity and stilt-dancing\, such as the ancestral origins of Shaka’s practices and the healing power of the arts. They also discussed Shaka’s role as a youth mentor\, the production of his suits and some of the spiritual philosophies guiding his work. Highlights of this cross-cultural dialog are presented as a series of video clips and offer an informal behind-the-scenes impression of the artists’ online exchange. \nA work for camera by Shaka Zulu shot in Tremé and directed by Abdul Aziz will premiere at the museum June 26 and features local performers on stilts and percussion who represent four generations of Zulu’s family. Later in July\, a virtual roundtable conversation led by Dr. Joyce Marie Jackson will also consider the processional art form’s power to foster diverse\, intergenerational community relationships and Super Sunday’s historical connections to protests for social justice.  \nUsing the “Transcommunality” exhibit and Shaka Zulu’s work for camera as touchstones\, the roundtable in July gathers voices from the stilt dancing community – Najja Codrington of the Brooklyn Jumbies and Sarauniya Zulu of Zulu Connection – as well as three legendary figures of masking culture in New Orleans: Big Queen Rita Dollis of the Wild Magnolias; Big Chief Derrick Hulin of the Golden Blades; and Big Chief Darryl Montana of the Yellow Pocahontas Hunters.  \nExplore these behind the scenes exchanges below! \n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\nThese programs are funded in part under a grant from the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities\, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Any views\, findings\, conclusions or recommendations expressed in this program do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities. They are also supported in part by a New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation Community Partnership Grant and by a Community Arts Grant made possible by the City of New Orleans. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\nAbout Shaka Zulu: \nBased in downtown New Orleans\, Big Chief Shaka Zulu is the multi-talented leader of the Golden Feather Hunters\, a tribe of Black masking Indians whose spiritual traditions of song and pageantry are known globally. Chief Shaka is a culture bearer involved with many aspects of Louisiana’s street culture and performance scene – including African and Haitian music\, to which he was introduced as a child by his father\, Zohar Israel. A versatile and frequent collaborator\, Chief Shaka has worked with the Kumbuka African Drum & Dance Collective since the early 1980s; played drums with Big Chief Smiley Ricks and his band Indians of the Nation; and toured internationally with Donald Harrison Jr. as a percussionist and vocalist for his band Congo Nation. Chief Shaka is a master of the African djun-jun drum and also plays many other percussive instruments.  \nChief Shaka began stilt dancing at a young age performing with the company Free Spirit of New Orleans. Since 1986 he has performed around the world as a featured solo stilt dancer as well as with his own performing arts company\, Zulu Connection. He is known for spellbinding audiences with his colorful and elaborate costumes\, tremendous heights\, extraordinary acrobatics\, and dance moves. His work as a stilt dancer has been presented at festivals and events in New Orleans as well as in China; Germany\, the Netherlands\, Jamaica\, Bermuda\, Trinidad and Tobago\, South Africa\, Tanzania\, and Morocco\, among other places. \nChief Shaka is initiated into the secret and sacred art form of stilt dancing and also educates youth in his community on the culture\, discipline\, and need for preservation of this guarded ancient custom. He is committed to the growth and educational prosperity of local youth; and also manages and teaches for the New Orleans chapter of Better Family Life\, a youth summer cultural enrichment camp. \nAs a Black masking Indian\, Chief Shaka has exhibited his suits nationally and internationally at museums and festivals – including the 2015 exhibit “New Orleans – The Sound of a City” in Berlin which was supported by the US Embassy; the 2017 exhibit “Carnival Around the World” at the Afrika Museum in Berg en Dal\, The Netherlands; on Martha’s Vineyard in 2019; and for nearly two decades in Asheville\, North Carolina\, each year with the LEAF International festival\, where he is also a youth educator and involved with LEAF’s programming in Tanzania and Haiti. Locally\, Chief Shaka’s suits have been exhibited at The Presbytère\, part of the Louisiana State Museum; at the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts; and in his own Golden Feather Mardi Gras Indian Gallery which was previously located on Rampart Street. \nRecently Chief Shaka and Naimah Zulu\, his artistic partner to whom he is married\, also produced the vibrant and historical stage production  “New Orleans Voices of Congo Square” at the OrpheumTheater which featured an array of magical music\, colorful dance\, and mysterious masking Indian culture. \n\nAbout Laura Anderson Barbata: \nI am a bicultural\, transdisciplinary artist. Since 1992 I have developed sustainable art-centered projects that integrate collaborative and participatory work that addresses issues of social justice and the environment. As a Mexican born\, New York based artist\, it is my belief that a shared artistic social practice can serve as a platform on which we connect\, learn\, exchange\, create\, and transcend borders in order to activate our sense of belonging to a global community. My work seeks to further the expectations of socially-engaged art by involving collaborators such as archives\, scientists\, activists\, musicians\, street dancers\, and artisans to create works that operate both inside and outside of the art world. Since 2001 I began to work with stilt dancers in Trinidad and Tobago\, and since 2007 have consistently collaborated with the Brooklyn Jumbies\, and in 2012 with the Zancudos de Zaachila from Oaxaca\, Mexico. The work combines character and narrative development with numerous collaborators in addition to textile arts\, sculpture\, dance\, masking\, music\, procession\, improvisation\, ritual and protest. \n– Laura Anderson Barbata \n\nAdditional Resources: \nTranscribed Copies of the Videos \n2019 interview with Shaka Zulu at Xavier University of Louisiana; Produced and directed by Kim Vaz- Deville\, Filmed and edited by Lexcie Thomas. https://digitalcommons.xula.edu/masked/7/ \n2016 interview with Shaka Zulu at the Golden Feather Restaurant & Gallery https://vimeo.com/180939157 \n2008 educational project with Shaka Zulu at Higher Ground in Oakland\, California \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkJVHOhfDFE&feature=youtu.be \n2013 video documentation of Zulu Connection performance in Knoxville\, Tennessee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSI_6-vo-5M&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8zz5TP_5wo \n2018 “Voices of Congo Square” stage production trailer https://vimeo.com/292132231 \n2015 Shaka Zulu exhibition in Berlin \nhttps://www.offbeat.com/news/sound-city-exhibit-makes-waves-berlin/ \nDec 2020 memorial for 1900 mass lynching site in New Orleans https://www.nola.com/news/crime_police/article_ca7abefc-4171-11eb-a3aa- c35babfbe7de.html \nClick to learn more about Laura Anderson Barbata’s exhibition at Newcomb!

Dr. Jackson also holds the James J. Parsons Endowed Professorship at LSU. She earned her Ph.D. from Indiana University\, Bloomington in folklore and ethnomusicology and her core research centers on African and African diaspora performance-centered studies\, sacred and secular rituals\, carnivalesque identities and cultural and community sustainability. As a cultural ethnographer\, her research and publications have spanned the genres of gospel\, blues and traditional jazz. Dr. Jackson has been instrumental in the production of several documentary recordings and authored their interpretive liner note booklets published by Smithsonian Folkways Recordings\, Capitol Records\, Inc. and Louisiana Folklife Recording Series. She has also authored many scholarly works including\, Life in the Village: A Cultural Memory of the Fazendeville Community\, and curated numerous art and historical exhibitions along with J. Nash Porter\, the documentary photographer. One of their most notable exhibitions was for the Smithsonian Institution titled\, New Orleans Mardi Gras Indians: Exploring a Community Tradition from an Insider’s View. Most recently\, Dr. Jackson produced a documentary film titled\, Easter Rock which was premiered at the Ethnografilm Festival in Paris\, France. \nAbout the panelists: \nBased in New York\, Najja Codrington is a co-founder of the Brooklyn Jumbies along with Ali Sylvester and is also Musical Director of the KowTeff School of African Dance. Najja was born into a family that is deeply rooted in both African and African-Caribbean culture. At the age of 10\, under the guidance of Obara Wali Rahman\, he received his first formal training of the Sabar orchestra as a member of Sabar Ak-Ru-Afrique. Najja’s studies encompass music and dance from both the Caribbean and West Africa. Najja has traveled abroad to Senegal\, West Africa where he studied under the tutelage of the Drame/Diabate griot family. As a result\, he was exposed to an extensive amount of lore. As Najja has studied African dance and drumming intensively for many years\, several people have contributed to his learning\, such as Sewaa Codrington\, Aissatou Diop\, Wilhemina Taylor\, Gregory Ince\, Karim Braithway\, Kissima Diabate\, and Souleyman Diop\, to name just a few. Currently\, Najja is involved in many cultural activities such as Cultural Youth International’s Brooklyn Jumbies\, Adlib Steel Pan Orchestra KowTeff African Dance Company\, Bakh Yaye and A Touch of Folklore & More. \nLaurita Dollis has served as Big Queen of the Wild Magnolias for over 25 years and grew up in New Orleans. Widow of Big Chief Theodore Emile “Bo” Dollis\, she began working on suits in the mid 1970s with her husband. In the 1980s Rita began masking with the family’s tribe\, with whom she is also a musician. More recently\, Laurita became founder and president of the Queens of the Nation Indian Council which advocates to create space for women within the Black masking Indian tradition and to share their knowledge with younger generations. She has received numerous honors\, including the “Crystal Feather” award from the Mardi Gras Indian Hall of Fame. \nDerrick Hulin has led the Golden Blades as Big Chief since 1998\, when he revived the Uptown tribe with many community blessings\, bringing it back to the New Orleans streets for the first time since 1970. As a tradition bearer for one of the oldest Mardi Gras Indian tribes\, Hulin is a keeper of the Golden Blades’ history and its founding in 1936 in a saloon on the corner of Third & North Rocheblave\, near the Calliope Projects\, as a spin off from the Creole Wild West tribe. The Golden Blades’ first Big Chief was Ben Clark (1936-1943) followed by Leon “Happy Peanut” Robinson (1944-1946)\, Robert “Robbie” Lee (1948-1949)\, Leon “Happy Peanut” Robinson (1949-1950) and Paul “Red” Longpre (1950-1970). Hulin officially started masking as a Spy Boy with the Wild Magnolias at age 16 in Hollygrove\, and created his first suit unofficially at age 4 with his father Irving Hullin. He is also a musician. \nDarryl Montana is the Chief of the Yellow Pocahontas Hunters Black Masking Indian Tribe. According to the Chief\, the New Orleans indigenous Black Indian movement of “masking Indian” on Carnival Day began in the late 1800’s in the Montana family. Hailing from a prominent family of Black Masking Indians and son of the Chief of Chiefs Allison “Big Chief Tootie” Montana\, he uses sequins\, beads\, pearls\, marabou\, feathers and stones to create multi-dimensional Mardi Gras costumes for each year’s carnival in New Orleans. The techniques and use of materials have been passed down to him from his father. He began learning how to string beads at age six and made his first suit when he was eleven using a used vinyl raincoat as his canvas. His suits can take up to 5\,000 hours to complete and they are created in response to themes like metamorphosis and evolution. He says that on Carnival day\, “he is in full regalia representing a culture that unites the community around the tradition of masking and simply being the prettiest.” In addition to creating these massive pieces\, Montana passes his techniques on to children and teaches them how to construct sculptural costumes. Montana’s work is in the public collections of the International Folk Art Museum and the Joan Mitchell Foundation and private collections of the late John Scott\, Diego Cortez\, Ron Bechet\, and Mapo Kinnord-Payton\, to name a few. \nSarauniya Zulu is a versatile stilt dancer\, musician and educator based in New Orleans who has performed traditional African arts internationally with her family since she was a child. Niya’s many performing credits include the historical stage production  “New Orleans Voices of Congo Square” at the Orpheum Theater\, produced by Zulu Connection and created by her parents Big Chief Shaka Zulu and Naimah Zulu. She is fluent in French and studied Anthropology at the University of New Orleans.
