SUMMARY:Opening Night and Gallery Talk: "Passage" by Regina Agu
DESCRIPTION:Join us at New Orleans Museum of Art to celebrate the public opening of Regina Agu’s installation “Passsage.” At 7:30 PM\, the artist will give a Gallery Talk in the Great Hall. \nABOUT PASSAGE\n“Passage” is an immersive\, site-specific installation created for the New Orleans Museum of Art by contemporary artist Regina Agu and marks her first solo museum show. Inspired by the historical form of the panorama\, Agu’s 100-foot-long installation weaves together imagery of waterways from across Louisiana to consider how the landscapes\, people\, and histories of the region are connected by and through water. Agu’s project mines histories of landscape painting to explore the unique social and political geographies of the Gulf Coast. This installation was created in partnership with A Studio in the Woods\, through an artist residency.

SUMMARY:Artist Salon with Ladee Hubbard
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, December 9\, 2019\, 6:30pm at A Studio in the Woods\, join us for a potluck and to learn more about author Ladee Hubbard. \nLadee Hubbard is the second Gulf South Writer in the Woods\, an appointment spanning 18 months in 2019 and 2020 which includes a total of six weeks in residence at A Studio in the Woods\, public engagement programming\, and research support. During the residency\, Hubbard will be revising her novel\, The Rib King. Spanning a ten-year period between 1917 and 1927\, The Rib King shares its name with a fictitious brand of barbecue sauce that August Sitwell\, an African-American groundskeeper\, creates with the help of a cook\, Mamie Clark. The sauce receives national distribution and is sold with a caricature of August on the label. The Rib King draws upon the author’s interest in the popularity of minstrelsy and the devastating impact it had on African-Americans’ efforts to assert their rights as citizens during the first decades of the 20th century. In chronicling the path through which August Sitwell’s distorted image becomes an emblem of quality\, reliability\, and modern convenience the novel explores the nostalgia for slavery that was so vividly dramatized through the use of African-Americans to sell consumer items\, particularly culinary products\, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. \nLadee Hubbard is the author of the novel The Talented Ribkins which received the Ernest J. Gaines Award for Literary Excellence and the Hurston-Wright Legacy Award for Debut Fiction. She received a BA from Princeton University\, a MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Wisconsin\, Madison and a PhD from the University of California\, Los Angeles. Her short fiction has appeared in Virginia Quarterly Review\, Callaloo and Guernica\, among other venues. Her film and book reviews appear in The Times Literary Supplement. She is a recipient of a Rona Jaffe Foundation Writers’ Award and has received additional fellowships and grants from the Sustainable Arts Foundation\, MacDowell Colony and Sewanee Writers Conference among others. She lives in New Orleans. \nGulf South Writer in the Woods\, a program of A Studio in the Woods and the New Orleans Center for the Gulf South\, is designed to support the creative work\, scholarship and community engagement of writers examining the Gulf South region. \nThis is a potluck\, we will provide the main dish but ask that everyone pitch in a little something – drinks\, salad\, appetizer\, dessert… \nThe event is free\, but please RSVP here

SUMMARY:Artist Salon with Nick Slie
DESCRIPTION:Please join us to meet A Studio in the Woods’ newest resident artist\, Nick Slie\, who has been awarded one of six Adaptations Residencies at A Studio in the Woods this season.\n\nThis is a potluck\, we will provide the main dish but ask that everyone pitch in a little something – drinks\, salad\, appetizer\, dessert… \nPlease RSVP here and let us know what you plan to bring. Click here for map and directions. Please note that parking is limited\, save on gas and carpool with a friend! \n\nWhile in residence\, Nick will embark on “Invisible Rivers\,” a series of performances and public walks that seek to re-engage citizens with the wisdom of adaptation and uncertainty inherent in the once wild paths of the Mississippi River.  “Invisible Rivers” unites the power of art\, the strategies of cultural organizing\, and the wisdom of ancestry to investigate how the structures of control it takes to levee a river have shown up in the interior landscapes of the people\, protecting us from a most necessary tool of adaptation: grief. \nNick Slie is a New Orleans-born performer\, producer and cultural organizer. He is the Co-Artistic Director of Mondo Bizarro and an Associate Professor of Theater at Nunez Community College. Nick’s creative endeavors range from interdisciplinary solo performances to large-scale community festivals\, from innovative digital storytelling projects to site-responsive productions. For more than a decade\, he has been passionately engaged in rebuilding his hometown of New Orleans\, collaborating across sectors on a vast array of local performance and arts-based civic engagement projects. Since 2002\, Nick has toured a wide array of imaginative projects to art centers\, universities and outdoor locations in 38 states across the country and abroad. However\, he is most proud of the work he does in Southeast Louisiana\, where the land kisses the water.

SUMMARY:Mardi Gras From a Bird's Eye View Bead Collection
DESCRIPTION:Recycle your beads with the Mockingbird Project! Artist Pippin Frisbie-Calder\, scientists from Karubian Lab\, and community volunteers will be out on the Uptown parade route (St. Charles between Napoleon and Louisiana) to recycle Mardi Gras Beads and raise awareness about lead contamination in the city. Bring us your beads and we will exchange them for a hand-made throw and recycle them. Saturday\, January 15\, 1:30pm – 5:30pm. \nA Studio in the Woods is working in collaboration with Tulane biologists Dr. Jordan Karubian and PhD student Annelise Blanchette to host an artist residency for printmaker Pippin Frisbie-Calder to raise awareness about urban birds and lead contamination in New Orleans with themes related to both public health and the well being of all living creatures. As in many older cities around the world\, lead contamination represents an important health risk to both human and animal inhabitants of New Orleans. Ongoing work by Dr. Jordan Karubian and colleagues suggests that high levels of lead in some New Orleans neighborhoods may impact the behavior and reproductive success of urban songbirds. In this way\, these songbirds may serve as “canaries in the coal mine” for the risks associated with lead contamination\, with the potential to raise awareness about this important but sometimes under-appreciated issue. The artist will collaborate closely with scientists from Karubian Lab and staff at A Studio in the Woods to understand the effects of lead and develop provocative community engagement using the shared platform of Mardi Gras as a vehicle to reach a broad swath of local residents. \nA key component to this project will be getting toxic beads out of the trash and into recycling programs. In addition to high levels of lead in New Orleans from historic contamination\, Mardi Gras beads have been shown to have high levels of heavy metals. Objects tossed off of Mardi Gras parade floats\, called ‘throws’ locally\, comprise approximately 25 million pounds of trash produced annually during the two week celebration. Our intention is to incentivize people to recycle their beads by exchanging them for a beautiful\, eco-friendly\, handcrafted throw. Thanks to GroundsKrewe.org and ArcGNO.org for assistance in recycling our beads!

SUMMARY:Artist Salon with Jeffery Darensbourg
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, March 5\, 2020\, 6:30pm at A Studio in the Woods\, join us for a potluck and to learn more about Adaptations Resident Jeffery Darensbourg. \nTHE EVENT IS FREE BUT PLEASE RSVP HERE \nDuring his residency\, Jeffery Darensbourg is interested in exploring the knowledge of flora\, fauna\, and people his Atakapa-Ishak ancestors carried with them and wishes to connect this sort of Louisiana-specific knowledge to the knowledge urban Natives such as himself have in negotiating Indigeneity\, within the contemporary milieu of city life in our current social and economic climate. \nJeffery U. Darensbourg is an enrolled member and tribal councilperson of the Atakapa-Ishak Nation of mixed Native and Louisiana Creole ancestry. He was a 2018-2019 Monroe Fellow of the New Orleans Center for the Gulf South at Tulane University. His work explores the intersections of cultural studies\, mixed ethnicity\, and Indigeneity. Jeffery grew up in Baton Rouge\, earned his Ph.D. from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette\, and currently lives near Bayou Choupic (what white colonists attempted to rename as “Bayou St. John”) in Bulbancha (what white colonists attempted to rename as “New Orleans”). He is a founding coeditor of the zine Bulbancha Is Still a Place: Indigenous Culture from New Orleans.

SUMMARY:Postponed - Writer's Cabin Dedication
DESCRIPTION:Dear friends\, in response to the Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic\, specifically to an increased number of cases in the New Orleans metro area\, and in accordance with Tulane’s recommendations\, we have decided to postpone the Writer’s Cabin dedication in line with physical distancing protocols. Staff will be convening to determine appropriate adaptations of our other scheduled programming this coming week. Thank you for your understanding and take care\, The Staff of A Studio in the Woods. \n— \nWednesday\, March 18 at 9:30am\, A Studio in the Woods will dedicate its new Writer’s Cabin with a celebration featuring remarks and performances by Cheryl Landrieu\, Mark Davis\, Rebecca Snedeker\, Monique Verdin\, Benjamin Morris\, and Dr. Michael White. Attendees at the dedication will have the opportunity to view the new space and participate in a tour of the grounds with A Studio in the Woods Environmental Curator David Baker or a tour of the facility and program with Managing Director Ama Rogan. \nThis new live/work space for literary artists is the fifth structure on the Studio’s 7.66 acres of protected bottomland hardwood forest. The addition of the Cabin deepens A Studio in the Woods’ reputation as a destination for emerging and established writers of all genres and backgrounds\, expands artist-in-residency programs\, adds private retreat space\, and furthers community outreach. The 500 square foot Cabin includes a private workspace with views of the Woods\, separate sleeping quarters and a dogtrot-style porch. Designed by John Anderson of unabridged Architecture\, the building slips quietly into the Woods and is simple\, yet elegant in its relationship to the environment and the existing buildings on site. The Cabin is energy efficient and hurricane resistant. \nThe first writer to benefit from this new space will be local author Ladee Hubbard.  Hubbard’s first novel\, The Talented Ribkins\, received the Ernest J. Gaines Award for Literary Excellence and the Hurston-Wright Legacy Award for Debut Fiction. During her residency\, Hubbard will be revising a prequel to her debut novel. Hubbard is the second Gulf South Writer in the Woods\, a program of A Studio in the Woods and the New Orleans Center for the Gulf South\, designed to support the creative work\, scholarship and community engagement of writers examining the Gulf South region. \nThe event is free but please RSVP here.

SUMMARY:Rising Residency Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an online information session about Rising Residencies. Staff will answer questions about the application process and residency experience. \nRegister here. \nRising: Climate in Crisis Residencies at A Studio in the Woods invite artists to examine the severity of the climate crisis and be agents of change to guide our collective understanding\, response\, and vision as we shape our shared future. New Orleans and the inhabitants of our region are frequently invoked as some of the most vulnerable to the effects of environmental degradation. While sea levels\, temperatures and emotions are rising\, our highly manipulated landscape can be seen as a microcosm of the global environment\, manifesting both the reckoning and hope which are required in the ways humans interact with shifting urban and natural ecosystems. As the climate crisis moves beyond coastal communities and permeates the collective understanding of the future\, the challenges faced by Southern Louisiana resonate exponentially. We look to artists to ignite our imaginations\, illuminate our challenges\, and offer new ways to examine the world. Applications due by April 13\, 2020. Full details and application available here.

SUMMARY:Big River Detour – An Instagram Residency by Artists Monique Verdin and Karen Goulet
DESCRIPTION:This spring Big River Continuum artist Karen Goulet was scheduled to be in residence at A Studio in the Woods. COVID-19 changed that\, but Karen and partner artist Monique Verdin are taking their Mississippi River exchange residency to a new platform – Instagram. Follow their Big River Detour on our partner Weisman Art Museum’s Instagram account @weismanartmuseum\, April 15 – May 15\, 2020. \nMonique and Karen will post dispatches from their respective ends of the river\, sharing with one another\, and us\, the places and moments they had hoped to in person. Karen is also chronicling the exchange on her blog. \n\nAbout Big River Continuum: It is one thing to know about a river\, and yet another altogether to consider the river itself as a way of knowing. The University of Minnesota’s Itasca Biological Station at the Mississippi headwaters\, the Weisman Art Museum in the Twin Cities\, and A Studio in the Woods in the Mississippi Delta have established a creative exchange program that does just that. By linking communities at the headwaters and delta of the Mississippi river\, the Big River Continuum cultivates dynamic exchanges between these communities as artists from both regions participate in collaborative residency programs that ignite inquiry into the interconnectedness of cultures\, research and river/land environments. \nTaking inspiration from the Ojibwe name Misiziibi\, or gichi-ziibi meaning “Huge River\,” this initiative turns the Mississippi River in its entirety into a platform for creative collaboration. The Big River Continuum strives to collaborate across topographies of power\, time\, and access in order to synergize artists and scholars from diverse river cultures in a shared and equitable process of inquiry. \nAbout Karen Goulet: Karen is a multimedia artist. Her work is informed by the people and places that define her. “I see my work\, as an artist\, to be a tributary of a larger body of living\, breathing creative spirit. I come and go as I move between various media\, expressing what I dream and remember\, while documenting what I witness from a place of needing to make.” \nShe goes on: “I consider myself a cultural hybrid – from Ojibwe\, Métis\, Saami/Finn people. My family are makers – people who create and grow things. My art reflects  histories and relationships that have been made by journeys\, evolving cultures\, and the fierce will to survive. Water is ever present in the stories and my history. The Northwoods waterways have been the lifeline of my family and culture. To have this opportunity to create work that honors water\, through reflecting and research of this Great River\, is something I am eager and honored to do.” \nAbout Monique Verdin: Monique Verdin is a multidisciplinary artist working with the complex interconnectedness of environment\, economics\, culture\, climate\, and change along the Gulf South for decades. Her indigenous Houma relatives and their life-ways have been the primary focus of her storytelling practice. Monique is the director of The Land Memory Bank & Seed Exchange\, a part of the Another Gulf Is Possible Collaborative core leadership circle and author of Return to Yakni Chitto Houma Migrations. Monique’s Big River Continuum residency at Itasca Biological Field Station in MN investigates ways in which the headwaters and the delta have been in conversation with each other for thousands of years:  Palms to Pines.

SUMMARY:Virtual Writer's Cabin Dedication
DESCRIPTION:The Writer’s Cabin was a long-held dream of our founder\, Lucianne Carmichael\, that we’ve worked on over the last decade to make a reality. This winter it was finally completed and we scheduled a dedication full of readings\, remarks and celebration for March 18\, 2020. The global pandemic cancelled the event\, but now we would like to (virtually) invite you in. Take a tour\, read reflections\, and dream of what could happen in this space. We invite you to submit your wishes for the future of the cabin here or suggest a book for the Writer’s Cabin library here. \nThe Writer’s Cabin at A Studio in the Woods\, a program of Tulane University’s ByWater Institute\, celebrates writers of every genre by offering a 300-square foot live-work space to host both emerging and established playwrights\, composers\, authors\, choreographers\, and scholars. This addition to the Studio campus will allow us to support more artists and scholars and greatly increase our impact. \n \n“Tulane has long been home to some of the country’s most influential writers and poets. The Writer’s Cabin at A Studio in the Woods will serve as an invaluable resource for the Tulane community\, providing the space and setting for creativity to flourish and adding to our growing network of interdisciplinary academic hubs across the university that spur innovation and creative collaboration.” – Michael A. Fitts\, President\, Tulane University \n“Friends extends our appreciation to the generous donors and Tulane University as we celebrate the completion of the Writer’s Cabin.  We honor the intent of Studio’s founders – Lucianne and Joe – as we open the final building phase of their long-held vision for this respite in the woods. To future artists and writers – may you find inspiration and courage to put pen to paper.” – Mary Len Costa\, Chair\, Friends of A Studio in the Woods Board of Directors \n“I had an extremely productive time during my residency\, which provided me with the time and solitude I needed to complete my project. I loved being in the writer’s studio and it was truly a gift to be able to work in such a peaceful and idyllic setting.” – Ladee Hubbard\, Writer and Inaugural Writer’s Cabin Resident \n“While here at A Studio in the Woods\, free to really concentrate on a project I’ve been working on\, in one way or another\, for about a decade\, I have finally experienced coming into my own as a storyteller\, a researcher\, and a poet.” – Jeffery Darensbourg\, Writer and Former Resident \n“This Writers Cabin is more than a new building\, it is a broad new window of opportunity for creative expression\, interdisciplinary collaboration and just plain wonder.   It is a gift to artists and scholars everywhere and it only goes to show why A Studio in the Woods is so important.” – Mark S. Davis\, J.D.\, Director\, Tulane ByWater Institute \n“At long last\, the first permanent home for writers in the Gulf South\, thanks to the vision of A Studio in the Woods. In coastal Louisiana\, Virginia Woolf’s dream come true: truly\, a room of one’s own.” – Benjamin Morris\, Writer and Former Resident; Friends of A Studio in the Woods Board of Directors \n“The Writer’s Cabin is designed to foster an intimate connection with nature. The dogtrot is a threshold between the living space and the writing studio but the cross axis allows nature to pierce the building form. The structure is simple and wood-framed\, explicitly referencing the vertical trunks of the forest and the spreading canopy overhead.” – John Anderson AIA\, LEED-AP\, Writer’s Cabin Architect\, Unabridged Architecture \nAcknowledgements\nThe Studio would like to thank the generous donors who made the construction of the Writer’s Cabin possible: A Friend Of A Studio In The Woods\, A Friend Of A Studio In The Woods – In Honor Of Lake Douglas\, The Family of Stephen E.

SUMMARY:Gulf South Writer in the Woods Ladee Hubbard In Conversation with Dr. Jessica B. Harris
DESCRIPTION:Join Gulf South Writer in the Woods Ladee Hubbard and culinary historian Jessica Harris for a discussion of Hubbard’s new novel\, The Rib King (HarperCollins 1/19/21) moderated by Denise Frasier\, Assistant Director\, New Orleans Center for the Gulf South. Tuesday\, January 26\, 2021 at 6pm CT\, register here. \nHubbard works to deconstruct painful African American stereotypes and offers a fresh and searing critique on race\, class\, privilege\, ambition\, exploitation\, and the seeds of rage in America in this intricately woven and masterfully executed historical novel\, set in the early twentieth century\, that centers around the Black servants of a down-on-its heels upper-class white family. Elegantly written and exhaustively researched\, The Rib King is an unsparing examination of America’s fascination with Black iconography and exploitation that redefines African American stereotypes in literature. In this powerful\, disturbing\, and timely novel\, Ladee Hubbard reveals who people actually are\, and most importantly\, who and what they are not. \nLadee Hubbard served as the 2019-2020 Gulf South Writer in the Woods\, a program of A Studio in the Woods and the New Orleans Center for the Gulf South that supports the creative work\, scholarship and community engagement of writers examining the Gulf South region. \n—  \nLadee Hubbard is the author of The Talented Ribkins which received the 2018 Ernest J. Gaines Award for Literary Excellence. Her writing has appeared in Guernica\, The Times Literary Supplement\, Arkansas International\, Copper Nickel and Callaloo among other venues. She is a recipient of a 2016 Rona Jaffe Foundation Writers’ Award and has also received fellowships from Art Omi\, the Sacatar Foundation\, the Sustainable Arts Foundation\, Hedgebrook\, and the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts among other places. Born in Massachusetts and raised in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Florida\, she currently lives in New Orleans with her husband and three children. \nJessica B. Harris is an award-winning food historian and one of the world’s leading experts on African Diaspora cooking. She is the author of the memoir\, My Soul Looks Back (Simon & Schuster\, 2017) about her youth in Harlem in the Seventies\, where her social circle included James Baldwin\, Toni Morrison\, Maya Angelou\, Nina Simone and other leading black intellectuals and artists of the time. She is the author of twelve critically acclaimed cookbooks documenting the foods and foodways of the African Diaspora as well\, including Iron Pots and Wooden Spoons: Africa’s Gifts to New World Cooking\, Sky Juice and Flying Fish Traditional Caribbean Cooking\, The Welcome Table: African-American Heritage Cooking\, The Africa Cookbook: Tastes of a Continent\, and Beyond Gumbo: Creole Fusion Food from the Atlantic Rim. Harris also conceptualized and organized The Black Family Reunion Cookbook.
