SUMMARY:Walking in Wild Spaces with Tammy Greer
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a reflective walk with Director of the Southern Miss Center for American Indian Research and Studies Tammy Greer on Friday\, April 12th\, 10am-12pm. In this walk\, we will reflect on how creating and tending wild spaces\, co-creating with other forest beings\, and celebrating diverse and wild landscapes wherever we see them – in our yards and on our campuses\, in our board rooms and in our families\, in our forests and in ourselves – ensures their survival just as they ensure ours. The event is free\, but registration is required below! \nOur Southeastern Native ancestors lived in communities near waterways\, separated from one another by forested areas that were tended wild spaces – burned to manage underbrush\, reduce tick\, flea\, and other insect infestations\, promote growth in our fire-adapted long-leaf pine trees and enable others of the standing ones\, like oaks\, to have a competitive advantage. These tended wild forests provided food and drink\, shelter and defense\, medicine and clothing sovereignty to our ancestors\, just as she provides\, as well\, for all the needs of other forest dwellers. \nTammy Greer\, Ph.D. (United Houma Nation) is a faculty member in the School of Psychology and Director of the Southern Miss Center for American Indian Research and Studies. She is faculty advisor to the Golden Eagles Intertribal Society\, a Native focused student group who works with the Center to host a yearly powwow\, Native Ways School Days and other Native-focused events on campus. In 2005\, Dr. Greer\, along with other tribal folks and Southern Miss faculty\, built a 1000 square foot native plant tended wild garden on the Southern Miss Campus. \nShe recently completed a Library of Congress Grant titled\, “And We Are Still Here: Indigenous Culture Bearers of the United Houma Nation” with a goal of making Houma material culture visible in a national venue so that Houma youth\, for seven generations\, can see and hear their elders speak to Houma experiences and culture. She\, along with an intertribal group\, is working with Prospect New Orleans bring back our mound-building culture and is currently working to build an earthen mound on the Lafitte Greenway in New Orleans. Dr. Greer is trained as a statistician and works with Mississippi INBRE to train Native students to research health issues in our Southeastern tribes. She is Co-PI on an NIH grant titled “Okla Achokma” (Healthy People) with a goal of integrating spiritual and socio-emotional components that are rooted in culture into typical healthy ways interventions to make those interventions more holistic. \nThis program is funded by The New Orleans Town Gardeners. \nRegister here for Walking in wild spaces w/ Tammy Greer

SUMMARY:Bark\, Branches\, and Barbecue: Celebrating 20 years of David Baker's research
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an afternoon with Studio’s Ecologist David Baker on Friday\, May 31st\, from 3pm-6pm. David will discuss his journey of caring for the woods and his twenty-year knowledge of the bottomland\, followed by a delicious barbecue at Tulane River and Coastal Center. The event is free\, but registration is required below! \nFor twenty years\, David has been removing Chinese Privet (Ligustrium sinense) and Chinese Tallow ( Triadica sebifera) to restore the Bottomland Hardwood Forest at A Studio in The Woods. From 2004 to 2024\, approximately 25\,000 shrubs were removed from the 7.66 acres of forest. \nSimultaneously\, 32 (10X10-meter) research plots were installed in 2004 to monitor the rate of invasive species removal and observe the rate of change over time. Since 2004\, A Studio in The Woods has been impacted by eight hurricanes\, two of them extremely destructive. \nFollowing Hurricane Zeta in October 2020\, (50X50-meter) plots were installed to begin monitoring forest changes at a much larger scale. The smaller plots were observed 20 years in a row\, and the larger plots were surveyed for 4 years post-hurricane. \nDavid will share data and stories from 20 years of deep observation of 1400 trees at A Studio in the Woods. \nRegister here for Grilling and Talking with David Baker

SUMMARY:Artist Salon with Niamh Rita & Justice Singleton and Issy Manley
DESCRIPTION:Join us to meet and learn more about Self as Universe: Mending Our Collective Ecosystem residents\, Niamh Rita & Justice Singleton and Issy Manley as they give us a glimpse into the work they’ll be doing during their residency followed by a light dinner and refreshments on Tuesday\, December 3rd\, 6:30pm – 9:00-pm. \nDuring their residency at Studio in the Woods\, Niamh Rita & Justice Singleton will design and facilitate an experimental writers’ room tailored for a diverse group of transgender storytellers and artists from their local New Orleans community. In this writing room\, they have chosen to focus on writing a screenplay because film is one of the most far-reaching mediums for sharing stories in today’s world. Producing a screenplay will lay the foundation for a future film production that will create artistic opportunities in our community. This collaborative writing project will provide a container and platform for participants to create stories that address the wounds in our collective ecosystems\, promote healing of those wounds\, and imagine the future we want to live in. \nNiamh Rita (they/them) is a transmasc interdisciplinary artist and amateur folklorist living in New Orleans. Using the mediums of protest art\, comics\, collective creative projects and tattoo art\, they work to build community and facilitate healing transformation through their art practice. Justice Singleton (he/him) is a black transmasculine educator\, screenwriter\, director\, actor\, poet\, stand-up comedian and drag burlesque artist who lives in New Orleans. Justice facilitates a writer’s program that enlists creators to build community\, inspires radical education and dismantles systemic storytelling. \nIssy’s residency project is an illustrated\, age-appropriate guide on the climate and ecological seasonal changes of sub-tropical Southeast Louisiana for preschool through early elementary-aged children. The final product might take shape as a 12-page picture book\, open-ended field workbook\, poster\, fold-out/ pop-up zine\, or a comic that would be printed and distributed for free to local educators/ programs to share with their students (as well as being offered free digitally to a wider audience). As an educator Issy has found few to no resources on our local climate and seasons for young children\, and feels that it is important that children get to learn about the climate\, weather and how eco-systems are shaped by both in the places that they live. \nIssy Manley (she/her) is a cartoonist and educator living in New Orleans. Issy makes non-fiction comics about labor\, climate crisis and capitalism. Her essay comics have been published in The Guardian\, The Nib Magazine\, The Washington Post and Narratively\, among others. Her collection of non-fiction comics about work and unemployment during the pandemic – “No One Wants to Work Anymore” – was published by Antenna Press in 2023. She is the winner of Antenna’s 2021 Open Call\, a MICE mini-grant\, and was shortlisted for the 2022 Cartoonist Studio Prize. Issy has exhibited at Shortrun\, CAKE and MICE comics festivals\, and holds an MFA from The Center for Cartoon Studies. \nClick here to RSVP. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Artist Salon with Hali Dardar
DESCRIPTION:We’re kicking off 2025 with an Artist Salon featuring Self as Universe: Mending Our Collective Ecosystem residents\, Hali Dardar as she gives us a glimpse into the work she’ll be doing during their residency followed by a light dinner and refreshments on Thursday\, January 16 at 6:30pm. \nHali Dardar is an enrolled member of the United Houma Nation\, and co-founder of the Houma Language Project and Bvlbancha Public Access. Her works explore interaction design\, new media art\, and community process. Past interaction design projects include the 2021 and 2023 Indigenous Gulf Streams\, Ripple Effect’s Water Glossaries\, and both the Unrecognized Stories and Language Keeper interview series. \nDardar’s residency project\, Imagining Leveys explores how Gulf South communities can maintain sovereignty and security of their futures while collaborating with external partners to create stories. Dardar’s residency will continue to explore an existing stream of work which designs a conceptual interaction for equitable story exchange by approaching the interview process as a market transaction rather than a relational exchange. Exploring and expanding this conceptual interaction around the rematriation of content provides a space for a larger discussion of ownership as it pertains to the vast intangible corpus of lived experiential knowledge. The project aims to open this larger dialogue through a public event along with small group idea collage sessions with digital and film story tellers\, archive professionals\, and legal counsel. \nClick here to RSVP. Registration is required. \n \nBy attending this event\, you understand that you may appear in marketing materials and herby consent to the reproduction and use of any image\, video or audio recording for any promotional purposes you may appear in.

SUMMARY:Artist Salon with Carl Harrison Jr. and Cory Diane
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Monday\, September 22nd 6:30pm – 9:00pm for an Artist Salon featuring Self as Universe: Mending Our Collective Ecosystem residents\, Cory Diane and Carl Harrison Jr. \nCory Diane (New Orleans\, LA) is a performer\, composer and sound artist whose work often looks at sound and vibration as means of knowing and relating. While in The Woods\, they aim to synthesize years of research and relationship building around Gravitational Wave Astronomy with their ongoing creative work related to climate justice\, and their lived experience as a person with a physical disability and navigating chronic pain. Central to this project would be continued collaboration with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) physicists (based in Louisiana and across the globe)\, and the prototyping of a new instrument—a “harp” sounded not by the strumming of strings\, but by sunlight. \nCarl Harrison Jr. (New Orleans\, LA) is an innovative interdisciplinary filmmaker and artist whose work explores the intersections of cultural memory\, land\, and Black and Indigenous traditions. Through a mix of documentary\, animation\, installation\, and community-centered storytelling\, Carl creates immersive experiences that honor ancestral knowledge and imagine liberatory futures. Grounded in both art and activism\, Carl’s work is rooted in the soil of the Gulf South and grows from a desire to preserve heritage while nourishing collective transformation. \nDuring his residency at A Studio in the Woods\, he will be continuing work on Eve’s Garden: Seasons of the Soul\, a hybrid personal documentary that explores the intersection of family\, land\, and memory in the Saint Roch neighborhood of New Orleans. Rooted in the story of his great-grandmother Eve and the food forest created in her honor\, the project weaves oral history\, filmmaking\, and land-based practices into a living archive of Black and Indigenous resilience. \nThe event is FREE but registration is required. Click here to RSVP! \nParking will be on Patterson Rd. outside of A Studio in the Woods campus at visitor’s own risk. Event may be outside\, please wear enclosed shoes and dress accordingly. \nBy attending this event\, you understand that you may appear in marketing materials and herby consent to the reproduction and use of any image\, video or audio recording for any promotional purposes you may appear in.

SUMMARY:Aurora Levins Morales presents "Ferment"
DESCRIPTION:What happens when a poet visualizes their words? Don’t miss this unique opportunity to see renowned poet Aurora Levins Morales present her foray into the world of digital art! \nPlease join Aurora Levins Morales on October 23\, 2025 at CANOA as she presents Ferment.

Beginning with the artist’s own drug-resistant epilepsy\, linked to childhood pesticide exposure in Puerto Rico\, the work moves outward through global and historical uses of chemicals of control\, which\, whether in agriculture or war\, are made for domination. \nImages and text explore the spraying of the infamous gas chamber pesticide Zyklon B on teenage Mexican domestic workers crossing the US border for daily work in the 1910s\, the multigenerational impact of Agent Orange on Vietnamese children\, and the toxic residues of war from the landscapes of Gaza and Ukraine to the tortured landscape of Johnston Atoll\, a US military dump for leftover chemical weapons. \nInspired by the research of Malian scientists on bacteria like Pseudomonas luminescens that can break down the pesticide dieldrin\, Levins Morales celebrates the transformative power of bacteria like Lactobacilis pentosus MP-10 that protects Palestinians from the heavy metals that contaminate their olives\, and in hopeful contrast to Johnston Atoll\, the Antarctic species Pseudomonas sp.TNT3 found on Deception Island\, which can clean residues of explosives from war zones. Seeking both healing and vision\, she looks to inter-species alliances with bacteria that can mend harm\, and imagines a biological and social ferment that could replace control with deep collaboration and repair. \nAurora Levins Morales (b. 1954) is a Borikua Ashkenazi writer and visual artist based in Maricao\, Puerto Rico. She is the author of nine books\, including Silt: Prose Poems\, written at the Studio. This is the first major visual art project.

SUMMARY:Artist Salon: Sarah Fouts and Fernando López
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, December 4 at 6:30pm with Self as Universe Residents Sarah Fouts and Fernando López as they discuss their work\, Fruit for Thought: Journeys Between New Orleans and Honduras. Fruit for Thought is a documentary series exploring the connections between Honduras and New Orleans through three key food commodities: bananas\, palm oil\, and coffee. \nDinner and refreshments will be served. You can RSVP here! \nSarah Fouts is an Associate Professor in American Studies and co-director of the Orser Center for Public Humanities at UMBC. Fouts’s research spans food and labor studies\, political economy\, disasters\, and community engagement\, with a focus on New Orleans and Honduras. Fouts’s book\, Rebuilding New Orleans (UNC Press\, 2025)\, explores immigrant labor\, multiracial solidarities\, and resistance in post-Katrina New Orleans. Fouts co-produced The El Camino Series which are two documentary shorts for Library Congress’s American Folklife Center. Fouts was a Whiting Fellow in 2022-2023 and contributes to outlets such as Southern Cultures\, Gastronomica\, Journal of Southern History\, The New York Times\, NACLA\, and Gravy magazine. \nFernando López is a multidisciplinary artist and documentarian based in New Orleans. Working across photography\, video\, and writing\, his practice reflects a Mexican and Indigenous worldview while centering people of color\, immigrants\, and diasporic communities in the U.S. Through portraiture\, street photography\, and layered visual storytelling\, Fernando explores the beauty\, complexity\, and resilience of everyday life—while also engaging themes of cultural celebration\, displacement\, and social justice. His work offers both intimate glimpses and critical reflections shaped by his experience as a Mexican artist living and creating in the U.S.
