Ogden Museum, in partnership with The Neighborhood Story Project, welcomes the community to a mouth-watering and soul-inspiring evening celebrating two places beloved to Tina Girouard – south Louisiana and Haiti. The evening will present an array of art, music, dance and food to both honor her and celebrate those connections.
• Enjoy an opening blessing with Nana Sula Evans in collaboration with Kai Knight and Cultural Ties Dance Collective.
• Dance to Afro-Louisiana and Caribbean songs with Sunpie and the Louisiana Sunspots, along with Leyla McCalla and Louis Michot's journeys through Haitian folk and southwest Louisiana music.
• Savor a complementary portion of roasted pig, inspired by the tradition of a Southern Pig Roast (while supplies last). Additional food and drink will be available for purchase.
• Participate in a beading demonstration by artist Black Masking Indian Marwan Pleasant and create a small beaded artwork of your own
• Try your hand at textile printing with ricRACK and add your work to a community installation utilizing repurposed fabrics.
