SUMMARY:Inheriting Whiteness: A Workshop about Ancestors and History
DESCRIPTION:The New Orleans Center for the Gulf South\, A Studio in the Woods\, and the New Orleans Public Library will host the workshop Inheriting Whiteness: A Workshop About Slavery\, Race Mixing\, and White Ancestors in Family History. \n*SPACE FOR THE WORKSHOP IS LIMITED. PLEASE APPLY TO BE CONSIDERED. \nDate: Saturday\, March 3\, 2018\nTime: 9am–12pm (workshop)\n12–1pm (lunch and conversation)\nLocation: New Orleans Public Library\, Algiers\n3014 Holiday Drive\, New Orleans 70131 \nDescription:\n\nInheriting Whiteness: A Workshop About Slavery\, Race Mixing\, and White Ancestors in Family History offers an opportunity to look at challenging facts of family and racial identity and to learn more about one’s own ancestry through research. People of African and European descent are welcome. In this three-hour genealogy workshop\, participants explore subjects like slaveholding or enslavement\, race mixing\, and the role of whiteness in family memory. In the first half of the workshop\, participants will be asked to share a brief family story that they have begun to research or wish to investigate. In response\, workshop leaders Edward Ball and Greg Osborn will offer guidance and research advice about archives and genealogical methods. During the workshop’s second half\, participants will discuss the promise and troubles that come with “difficult” stories of race in family history. After the workshop\, participants are invited to share lunch and further conversation. In the South\, monuments are coming down\, while nationally\, stories of race and memory compete for our attention. Inheriting Whiteness\, a workshop in genealogy\, offers to spread understanding through the shared project of storytelling in family history. \nThe workshop Inheriting Whiteness will be led by nationally-known author Edward Ball (Slaves in the Family) and by archivist and genealogist Greg Osborn of the New Orleans Public Library’s Louisiana Division. Inheriting Whiteness is sponsored by the New Orleans Center for the Gulf South at Tulane University\, A Studio in the Woods\, A Program of Tulane University\, the New Orleans Public Library’s Louisiana Division/City Archives and Special Collections\, and the Algiers Regional Library. \nInheriting Whiteness is a workshop in two parts\, followed by lunch. \nPart 1 / Sharing Family Stories (90 min.)\nWhat is the “hard stuff” to investigate or talk about in your family history?\nPart 1 of the workshop is a story-sharing circle led by archivist and genealogist Greg Osborn of the New Orleans Public Library’s Louisiana Division. Each participant will be asked to share a brief (three-minute) family story that they are investigating. Perhaps it is about the role of slavery\, or the behavior of white ancestors\, or about mixed-race forebears in the family tree. Workshop leaders will offer feedback and guidance for further research in available archives. By sharing personal histories and by building common questions\, the circle of understanding about race and family memory grows. \nPart 2 / The Dialogue (90 min.)\nHow do some stories in the family tree stir emotions—such as those about race mixing\, or white supremacy\, or slavery and Jim Crow—and what is to be done with those stories? What is the meaning\, for us today\, of slaveholding or enslavement in the family past?\nIn Part 2\, author Edward Ball leads a conversation about themes and family histories that emerge during the Story Circle. Edward Ball and Greg Osborn together support a dialogue about the racial inheritance that whites and blacks share and seek ways to process it. The aim of the workshop is to help participants claim family stories that remain hidden or are purposefully forgotten. \nLunch\nFor those who wish to continue the discussion after the workshop\, a brown bag lunch will be offered. \nRegistration\nTo attend the workshop\, please submit an application by February 15th. To enable discussion\, the workshop will be held to 20 participants. Only those who complete an application may attend. \nApplication Link: https://goo.gl/forms/mcL26jdwBkzpEk3K2. \nA notice about attendance will go out by email on February 22nd. The workshop takes place on March 3rd. \nWorkshop Leaders \nEdward Ball — \nEdward Ball has published five books of history and other nonfiction\, including Slaves in the Family\, an account of his family’s 170-year history as slaveholders in South Carolina\, and The Inventor and the Tycoon\, a story of the birth of moving pictures.

SUMMARY:Life of a Klansman: A Lecture by Author Edward Ball
DESCRIPTION:The New Orleans Center for the Gulf South and A Studio in the Woods invite you to “Life of a Klansman” with Gulf South Writer in the Woods Edward Ball. \nWriter Edward Ball tells the story of a foot soldier in the race battles that erupted in New Orleans and throughout Louisiana during the period after the Civil War. This talk is one part history\, one part family memoir. \nThe Klansman of the tale was an ordinary man\, a French creole carpenter who fought with the White League (1874–75) and the Knights of the White Camellia (1869–72)\, two white supremacist militias in Louisiana in the post-Civil War years. He was also a member of Edward Ball’s own family. \nIn “Life of a Klansman\,” Ball explores the making of a single guerilla fighter who violently opposed the experiment in racial democracy introduced in Louisiana during Reconstruction (1865–77). Louisiana saw one of the first attempts at race equity in the South. How did it fail? And why did white supremacy take root instead? As racial violence returns to public view today\, Edward Ball explores the birth of tribal white identity through the eyes of his great-grandfather\, a man active in the founding generation of the Ku Klux Klan. Whiteness has a history that is hidden and intentionally forgotten. It is a story relevant to the living\, particularly now. \nThis lecture is the third public event in the inaugural Gulf South Writer in the Woods program\, a two-year study with Edward Ball. The Gulf South Writer in the Woods program is co-sponsored by A Studio in the Woods and the New Orleans Center for the Gulf South (Nola Gulf South ) and includes a residency\, public lectures and a workshop exploring race\, family and place. \nEdward Ball was born in Savannah\, Georgia and raised in Louisiana\, South Carolina\, and Florida. He is an author who has written about the legacies of slavery in the Deep South. Edward’s book “Slaves in the Family” tells the story of his father’s family in South Carolina\, the Balls\, who were major slaveholders for 170 years\, as well as the stories of ten of the African American families the Balls once enslaved. Slaves in the Family won the National Book Award for nonfiction\, became a New York Times bestseller\, was featured on Oprah and is widely translated. Edward Ball lives in New Haven\, Connecticut\, where he taught for five years at Yale University. He is working on a book about New Orleans during the years after the Civil War. \nThe lecture will take place at 7pm on Tuesday\, March 6 at the First Unitarian Universalist Church of New Orleans\, 2903 Jefferson Ave. \n\nFor more information\, contact Regina Cairns at the New Orleans Center for the Gulf South at 504-314-2854 or rcairns@tulane.edu and visit our website: tulane.edu/NOCGS.

SUMMARY:Uncommon Exchanges: Clay
DESCRIPTION:In this new speaker series presented by Newcomb Art Museum in partnership with A Studio in the Woods\, The ByWater Institute at Tulane University\, and Nola Gulf South\, unlikely pairings of Tulane and Gulf South experts use an aspect of Newcomb’s latest exhibition as the catalyst for interdisciplinary dialogue. In this edition\, current resident Tia-Simon Gardner and English Chair Mike Kuczynski will use clay as the launching point for a deeper look into their own research and how they may\, no matter how unlikely\, overlap. \nThe discussion will be moderated by a representative from the hosting organizations and be held in the museum. The discussion will last around 45 minutes with 15 minutes of Q&A time at the end for audience engagement. \nBoth New Orleans and Tulane communities are encouraged to attend and take advantage of this opportunity to engage with academics\, artists\, and activists in a variety of fields. \nImage Credit: Ana Gomez\, “Combo Talavera”\, 2008-2010\, handpainted stoneware

SUMMARY:A Thing that Floats: Collaborative Design Charrette
DESCRIPTION:Join current Adaptations Resident Tia-Simone Gardner for ‘A Thing that Floats: Collaborative Design Charrette’. Participants in the charrette will collectively work on drawing designs and generate ideas for prototypes for small floating structures that can house cameras to capture images on the water. The goal is to think about the process of making images on a powerful moving body of water. This process includes thinking about the apparatus used to make those images and offers us an opportunity to collectively think about how we see and surveil the bodies of water that are a part of this city. The charrette will offer time to collaboratively think and talk about how\, if\, or when we perceive the bodies of water around us. Thursday\, March 22\, 6-8pm at the Albert and Tina Small Center for Collaborative Design\, 1725 Barronne Street.
