Young Greatness on his life of grinding and new mixtape I Tried To Tell Em 2.

BY ALEX WOODWARD |

@ALEXWOODWARD

Pinegrove

YOUNG GREATNESS HAS ENOUGH TIME TO SLEEP, WAKE UP AND DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. From New Orleans, he

leaves for Atlanta, then Sacramento, California. There are no days off for rap stars in the making.

“Man, my days the same,” he says.

“It’s busy then gets busy. It don’t ever change. I barely get rest. I’m at 100 mph every day. You have to be like that to try and make it and get to the next level. You have to work every day. You can’t take no days off.”

Born and raised in New Orleans, Young Greatness is on his third week on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with his bittersweet, exuberant single “Moolah,” a massive viral hit with millions of streams and views on YouTube, followed by countless interviews, radio appearances, road gigs and a hit mixtape, 2015’s I Tried To Tell Em. On July 8, the rapper releases its sequel, and he makes his late-night television debut July 11 on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.

But his recent whirlwind success didn’t arrive overnight. Young Greatness, aka Theodore Jones, formerly an aspiring teen football star from the St. Bernard Projects, has spent the last decade hustling his music into the right hands across the South, despite tragedy, loss and jail time.

“Life for me was no different than any other black young male growing up in the ghetto,” he says. “You’re going to be facing adversity, you’re going to be facing hard times. It’s just about what you make of it. I made the most of it.”

Following Hurricane Katrina and the levee failures in 2005, Jones lived in Houston, only to turn around and take Highway 90 into Westwego while ducking the National Guard. “We basically came back to New Orleans to grab a microphone,” he says. “I had an AKG mic, my speakers, I had a Presonus preamp — I came back to grab the basic essentials to record in a home studio.”

He worked alongside Houston’s rap kingmakers, but after a potentially star-making deal fell through, he nearly called it quits. In 2007, Jones moved back to New Orleans and sold drugs to

Following his release, he hustled from New Orleans to Atlanta, released a string of mixtapes and eventually signed with Atlanta’s independent heavyweight Quality Control, a label integral to the third coast’s renewed rap domination. With “Moolah” and new singles “Ball” and “Celebration” (featuring Akon) from his upcoming I Tried To Tell Em 2, Young Greatness toasts to his hard-earned success and perseverance while remembering his bleak beginnings.

“I try to keep the emotions in my music and give an opportunity to learn about me and some of the things I’ve been through in my life,” he says. “Just telling a story through music, and just listening to my music and identifying who is Greatness. Just having one of those voices that commands people.”

He has plans for a proper studio

Getting a day off might be.

“Man, if I had a day, I’d like to just catch up with my homeboys and my podnas and shit,” he says. “I’m just gone. Family and friends, they miss you.”

When that time comes, you can find him at Natal’s Seafood & Grill on Chef Menteur Highway: “They have everything you could possibly want — gumbo, red beans and rice, barbecue, jambalaya, everything.”

The number of strip clubs that would be allowed to operate on Bourbon Street if the New Orleans City Council approves a new study from the City Planning Commission.

EXOTIC DANCERS and other employees of New Orleans strip clubs packed the New Orleans City Council chambers June 28 for a hearing of the City Planning Commission. The commission released a study last month that proposed limiting the number of strip clubs in the city, which also would force any Bourbon Street club that closed for more than six months not to reopen.

The goal, said plan backer Jim Kelly of Covenant House, would be to reduce prostitution and human trafficking of dancers — but the dancers who spoke at the meeting said they didn’t see human trafficking in their clubs, and some suggested the clubs were a safer environment than the streets of the French Quarter. Robert Watters, owner of Rick’s Cabaret, stressed that his club was a good neighbor and followed all applicable laws.

In January, the Council asked for a study to be done on further regulating strip clubs after passing an ordinance requiring employees to be 21 years old — a law that was replicated at the state level in May. — KEVIN ALLMAN

Comment

The article ‘Short-term rental groups push against “burdensome regulations” in New Orleans’ drew this comment: “The proposed parking requirements look like it will really provide a major culling factor in the amount of short-term rentals. No one seems to be addressing that requirement in any depth.”

COMMENTARY

At the end of the day, lawmakers did little more than kick the can down the road yet again.

NOW THAT LOUISIANA LAWMAKERS HAVE ADJOURNED FOR THE YEAR, it’s a good time to

take stock of where we are and where we need to go from here. When Gov. John Bel Edwards took office in January, he learned that former Gov. Bobby Jindal left the state in even worse fiscal shape than anyone imagined — a nearly $1 billion deficit for the just-ended fiscal year and a $2 billion deficit for the current fiscal year. Edwards had little choice but to summon lawmakers into a special session and ask them to raise taxes. The state needed a lot of money, fast.

Most lawmakers took the responsible route, voting to increase taxes and make judicious cuts. However, a group of Republicans, many of whom served under Jindal, chose to turn the state’s inherited fiscal crisis into a partisan battle. As a result, the first special session fell far short of the goal of balancing both last year’s and this year’s budgets.

The governor had to convene a second special session. Once again Republican leaders (mostly in the House) sounded a partisan call against him, aided and abetted by business interests whose primary concern was escaping their share of the tax burden.

Here’s where Louisiana stands now: Our lawmakers have raised $1.5 billion in mostly temporary taxes to address what Moody’s Investors Service calls our “structural deficit” of $2 billion. Another $200 million is expected to be realized in savings as a result of expanding Medicaid — something Jindal refused to do on purely ideological grounds. That’s 85 percent of the goal, but $300 million still had to be trimmed from the current year’s budget — most notably from TOPS college scholarships, which never before had been cut. On top of that bad news, corporate tax collections were $200 million short in May, which portends another $200 million in cuts this fiscal year. At the

end of the day, lawmakers did little more than kick the can down the road yet again.

For years, lawmakers have applied a Band-Aid to Louisiana’s fiscal problems, patching gaping holes with temporary fixes. Next year, Edwards and lawmakers have yet another opportunity to enact real fiscal reform. We’d like to suggest a two-pronged approach, one that focuses both on tax reform and spending reform. To do one without the other is useless, yet Edwards seems fixated on the former while his GOP adversaries seem equally enthralled with the latter.

Truth is Louisiana will never implement real fiscal reform unless the governor and lawmakers put partisan differences aside and address both sides of that equation.

It’s not a question of “liberal” versus “conservative.” It’s more a matter of “responsible” versus “irresponsible” policymaking.

Yet another blue-ribbon committee is studying Louisiana’s tax structure, with the aim of making recommendations in the fall. We suggest the same committee also examine Louisiana’s Byzantine budget practices and suggest meaningful longterm reforms. If we don’t reform both spending and taxing — now — we’ll never break down Louisiana’s structural deficit.

I-10 News on the move 1. Quote of the week “That’s all about me growing up in New Orleans and a lot of the people that I ran across in my life. You get to the part where I’m calling out names; I start out with Moleface and Melvin; I’m Moleface, and Melvin was my friend. We got tight when we were about five years old. And the line about hanging out at the Dew Drop Inn all night long with Mac Rebennack — that’s Dr. John — it’s just characters who crossed my path.” — Aaron Neville, talking to Billboard about his new single “Stompin’ Ground.” Neville’s new album, Apache, comes out July 15.

2. New SNAP require-

ments in place

In April, Gov. John Bel Edwards signed an executive order requiring any Louisianans who are “able-bodied adults without dependents” (ABAWDs) to undergo job training and assistance in order to remain eligible for SNAP benefits, aka food stamps. That law began July 1, meaning ABAWDs have to report to one of 59 Louisiana Workforce Commission centers around the state to register for training.

One in five Louisianans uses the SNAP program.

3.

Public budget meetings begin this week Mayor Mitch Landrieu, New Orleans Police Department Superintendent Michael Harrison, New Orleans Fire Department Superintendent Tim McConnell and the New Orleans City Council will begin the annual round of “Budgeting for Outcomes” meetings this week. Each meeting will run from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., and half an hour earlier will be a “resource center” staffed by representatives from various city agencies who can field questions or complaints.

• Wednesday, July 6 — District A (Councilwoman Susan Guidry), Lakeview Christian Center, 5885 Fleur de Lis Drive • Thursday, July 7 — District C (Councilwoman Nadine Ramsey), Alice M.

Harte Charter School, 5300 Berkley Drive • Monday, July 11 — District E (Councilman James Gray), Household of Faith Church, 9300 I-10 Service Road • Wednesday, July 13, District D (Councilman Jared Brossett), Corpus Christi Community Resource Center, 2022 St. Bernard Ave. • Thursday, July 14, District B (Councilwoman LaToya Cantrell), KIPP Central City Academy at Carter G. Woodson School, 2514 Third St.

4. Short-term

rental groups discuss regulation

The debate among city planners, short-term rental owners and residents isn’t likely to die down soon. On Aug. 9, the New Orleans City Planning Commission (CPC) is expected to vote on zoning changes to create a framework for regulating listings on sites like Airbnb and VRBO. At a panel discussion at The Curtis House on Magazine Street June 28, short-term rentals groups tried to dispel fears that growth in their sector is pushing out residents and to argue that wholehome rentals — which encompass nearly three-quarters of all short-term rentals in the city — are a potential economic boon to the city if they’re taxed and regulated.

Matt Curtis, senior director of Global Government Affairs and Public Policy for HomeAway, the umbrella group for 40 sites including VRBO,

said “burdensome regulations” like those potentially proposed by the CPC could drive the industry underground. (Travel website Expedia bought HomeAway earlier this year. Philip Minardi, Expedia’s director of policy communications, said the company hopes to integrate short-term rentals into its travel options the same way hotels or cabs are offered with flights.)

In a report to the CPC, short-term rental advocacy group Alliance for Neighborhood Prosperity insists short-term rental proliferation is “not creating an affordable housing problem,” citing a February statement from the Greater New Orleans Housing Alliance (GNOHA). Last month, however, the GNOHA issued a new statement, standing firmly against whole-home rentals. The Greater New Orleans Fair Housing Action Center also issued a new objection last week echoing the GNOHA. Neighborhood groups in the Garden District and Uptown had argued against those kinds of rentals but lacked majority support from housing advocacy groups that speak for lower-income neighborhoods — until now.

5. Sidney Torres’

Mid-City apartment complex: approved

An expansive apartment complex in Mid-City from Sidney Torres — the real estate developer, former

French Quarter trash mogul and current crime-app manager — has received unanimous approval from the New Orleans City Planning Commission (CPC). The CPC voted 5-0 June 28 to approve the 382-unit development spanning five acres, bounded by Bienville Street and the Lafitte Greenway between Rouses Market in Mid-City and the U.S. Post Office on Bayou St. John.

The plans now head to the New Orleans City Council for final approval.

The complex will include three buildings with one- and two-bedroom apartments and studio apartments, spaces for a restaurant and coffee shop, and two parking garages with 570 spaces. Torres also owns several acres near the site and is considering building more retail spaces and a movie theater. The apartments also will have a great view of the still-blighted Lindy Boggs Medical Center.

6. State sued over

former convicts’ voting rights.

Despite the recent 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act’s passage, there still are thousands of formerly incarcerated people on probation or parole who are denied the right to vote. New Orleans-based organization Voice of the Ex-Offender (VOTE) filed a lawsuit against the state of Louisiana last week to restore those rights. (In Louisiana, that right is restored only after the terms of incarceration, probation and/or parole are completed.)

In May, several nonprofit groups filed a lawsuit against the Louisiana Secretary of State to dump a 142-year-old state law requiring certain documentation for naturalized citizens to register to vote — documentation natural-born citizens did not have to present. Last month, Gov. John Bel Edwards signed into law House Bill 890, which repealed it.

7. Hurricane evacuation for seniors

The Regional Transit Authority (RTA) will hold a meeting July 6 at 10 a.m. to discuss emergency transportation for seniors and disabled people. The meeting will be held at RTA headquarters (2817 Canal St.) and is open to the public. For more information, call (504) 827-8323.

8. Today VP — tomorrow, P

Mayor Mitch Landrieu was elected to be vice president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors (USCM) at a meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana last week — but a press release from City Hall about the vote was decidedly forward-thinking, saying the vote positioned Landrieu “to ascend to the office of USCM president in June 2017.” Moreover, the release said, “When Landrieu assumes the presidency of USCM in June 2017, he will be the fifth New Orleans mayor to do so” (the other four being Mayors T. Semmes Walmsley, Moon Landrieu, Dutch Morial and Marc Morial). In a statement, Landrieu said, “New Orleans is the nation’s most immediate laboratory for innovation and change.”

9. Carville v. Palin New Orleans political pundit James Carville interviewed former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin last week at Politicon, a political fan convention in California that’s heavy on the laughs and light on policy.

Carville and Palin mostly were polite to each other, but disagreed strongly on Second Amendment issues; both are gun owners, but Carville tried to get Palin to differentiate between things like hunting rifles and AR-15s. “Why do I need a 40-clip magazine rapid-fire rifle?” Carville asked, to which Palin said, “You probably don’t, in your area of New Orleans.” The hourlong panel is available for viewing on YouTube.

10. Kopplin exiting mayor’s office

Andy Kopplin, New Orleans deputy mayor and chief administrative officer since 2010, has announced he’ll leave City Hall in August to become president and CEO of the Greater New Orleans Foundation (GNOF). His replacement will be Jeffrey Hebert, executive director of the New Orleans Redevelopment Authority and the city’s chief resilience officer.

Kopplin served as executive director of the Louisiana Recovery Authority after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and also served as chief of staff to two governors: Democrat Kathleen Babineaux Blanco and Republican Mike Foster.

Hey Blake, There are some stainless steel-looking geometric-shaped sculptures in the neutral ground in front of the University of New Orleans on Elysian Fields. Who made these artworks and what do they denote?

Dear reader, Those metal sculptures are proof there’s no time better than the present to pursue your dream.

For Dr. Arthur Silverman, the dream was creating art, including the sculptures on Elysian Fields Avenue. He began pursuing his passion in the 1970s after three decades as a physician.

Born in New York City in 1923, Silverman came to New Orleans to study medicine at Tulane University. He was a urologist in private practice for more than 30 years.

“One day a physician friend of mine confided that he didn’t have much time to live and said, ‘Art, if there’s anything you want to do in this world, do it now.’ He made me think,” Silverman told Laura Claverie for a 2009 story in New Orleans Homes and Lifestyles. Silverman soon left his career in medicine and pursued art as a vocation.

He went on to create more than 400 metal sculptures. Some are just inches tall and one, in front of the Energy Centre on Poydras Street, is 60 feet tall. Silverman says his artwork is based on the tetrahedron,

Aluminum Attitudes is an installation of large tetrahedron shapes in different poses; this view shows five of the sculptures on Elysian Fields Avenue.

P H OTO B Y K A N DAC E P O W E R G R AV E S

a polyhedron with four triangular faces. He is retired, but you can find his work on the Tulane and Loyola campuses as well as at Temple Sinai.

His outdoor sculpture in the 6500 block of Elysian Fields is called Aluminum Attitudes. It was commissioned in 1993 by the Arts Council of New Orleans. The sculpture consists of six identical aluminum sculptures weighing 400 pounds each, arranged in different poses on the neutral ground.

“The neutral ground is a vast, open space,” Silverman told The Times-Picayune. “My hope was that viewers would treat it as a game, picking up the different elements and putting them in different positions. I wanted something human-scaled that revealed different views as you walked the space.”

BLAKEVIEW THE HISTORIC NEW ORLEANS COLLECTION (THNOC) recently unveiled

details of its plans to restore a French Quarter building that many readers will remember as the longtime home to WDSU-TV: the SeignouretBrulatour House at 520 Royal St. The mansion was built in 1816 for Francois Seignouret, a wine importer and furniture maker. The house changed hands in the 1880s, when it took the name of a new owner: Pierre Brulatour. The courtyard that bears his name is among the most photographed in the Quarter. In 1949, the Stern family purchased the property as a home for WDSU, which remained there until 1998. THNOC purchased the property in 2006 and is building a museum there. Plans call for a permanent exhibit about the history of the French Quarter and the building. Currently on view at THNOC’s gallery across the street is a scale model of the new facility, which is set to open for the city’s tricentennial in 2018.

504-891-4393; www.belladonnadayspa.com) serene ambience sharply contrasts the busy pace outside. Oversized aquariums, neutral decor and a lush bamboo garden lend the space a sense of calm. Open for more than 25 years, Belladonna has become a houseware, clothing and body product emporium in addition to a day spa.

“Our spa is 13,000 square feet with about 3,500 of that being retail space,” says owner Kim Dudek.

Floor-to-ceiling shelves are chock full of fragrant soaps, body lotions, bath bombs and candles. Belladonna also sells makeup, hair and skin products from brands like Bumble and Bumble, Moroccan Oil and Murad, as well as its own line of body products, which Dudek plans to expand into skin care.

Jewelry cases house delicate bracelets and earrings. Lingerie and pajamas also are for sale.

“Over the years we’ve added to our lingerie collection to include more ready-to-wear clothing,” Dudek says. “It’s really comfortable leisure wear.”

Belladonna also offers a large selection of luxury bedding and housewares.

Born and raised in New York, Dudek moved to New Orleans when she began her career as an esthetician. That work led Dudek to open Belladonna in the 1980s. She quickly acquired a loyal following, though

now she sticks to the management side. In addition to running Belladonna, Dudek also owns Belladoggie (a resort spa for dogs) and runs the nonprofit Dag’s House.

“Like all businesses, ours has changed,” Dudek says. “We’ll always be a spa, but we’re now offering more dinnerware, cooking ware, and things for table tops. I’d love to get into cooking.”

Red is a color of beauty and an umbrella is the resistance to sky’s and humans’ attacks. It symbolizes protection from the abuse sex workers are subjected to by the police, pimps, customers, and an ignorant and biased society.

— S.W.A.N. (Sex Workers’ Rights Advocacy Network)

A conference for sex workers heads to New Orleans this week

— its first time in the South.

Organizers hope to learn from the city, and vice versa.

“SOUTHERNERS GET THINGS DONE,” CRIS SARDINA SAYS.

Sardina is director of the Desiree Alliance, an advocacy group made up of sex workers, health professionals, and other supporting networks committed to strengthening the sex workers rights movement and advocating for sex workers’ human, labor, and civil rights — and it is holding its sixth annual convention in New Orleans this week, titled “Addressing Justice.”

The conference is a forum for sex workers and their allies, comprising panels, workshops and talks designed to empower and educate, foster political and legal strategy, business skills, artistic creation and solidarity through networking.

This will be the first time the Desiree Alliance convenes in the South.

WHILE SEX WORKERS RIGHTS ACTIVISM and sex worker organizing goes back decades, the movement has gathered steam over the last 10 years. This is due in part to the organizing capacity and anonymity of the internet as well as growing awareness of sex work and calls for decriminalization.

Organizers see the Desiree Alliance conference as vital to a region and city with social justice issues that pertain significantly to sex workers. Local escort Annie Calhoun, who volunteers for Sex Workers Outreach Project New Orleans (SWOP-NOLA),

says, “I hope that sex workers of all types from the area are present, and that they see the amazing community of people who are on our side. Not every sex worker is an activist (yet!), but every sex worker can benefit from being in an environment where they’re not shamed for their work. And I feel that, given the fact that criminalization discourages us from helping, trusting, or even communicating with each other (thereby isolating and endangering us), creating a community of people who reject the stigma surrounding this work is an act of rebellion in itself.”

Speaking out is just one factor. Landmark legal cases such as 2013’s Bedford v. Canada — a ruling by the Canadian Supreme Court that struck down prostitution laws in that country, a primary goal of the sex workers rights movement — have brought widespread media attention to the cause. Amnesty International’s recommendation in 2015 that sex work be decriminalized pushed those workers’ rights into the mainstream. What has steadily driven sex workers’ rights before the public eye, however, is the persistent efforts of sex workers to make their voices heard, their humanity acknowledged and their civil and labor rights honored.

Calhoun believes some of the progress made is, ironically, a response to journalists like New York Times op-ed columnist Nicholas Kristof, “who have built careers on the idea that sex work can be reduced to the idea of big bad men exploiting poor women — a classic evil villain/innocent victim dichotomy.”

“Thinking about things in those terms helps no one,” Calhoun says. “Furthermore, it encourages the public to support and push for laws that actually end up hurting the people they claim

In 2005 the International Committee on the Rights of Sex Workers in Europe (ICRSE) adopted the red umbrella as a symbol of resistance to discrimination.

18 they want to help. We got tired of hearing that, and with the help of the internet, we’re making our voices heard.”

New Orleans is recognized nationally for its HIV awareness organizations, LGBT and trans rights groups and grassroots harm reduction efforts. The bestknown is Women With a Vision (WWAV), a harm reduction organization headed by Deon Haywood. It was founded in New Orleans in 1989 “by a grassroots collective of African-American women in response to the spread of HIV/AIDS in communities of color,” its website says. Now the organization addresses issues faced by women in New Orleans and the surrounding areas, including drug policy reform, HIV/ AIDS harm reduction and sex workers’ rights.

WWAV works with a large ‘survival sex work’ community, and Program Manager Christine Breland says, “Predatory policing is a big problem that hurts sex workers — sting operations that ensnare women who are below

‘Creating a community of people who reject the stigma surrounding this work is an act of rebellion in itself.’

the poverty line, trying to survive, to make money to have a place to stay, food to eat, to clothe themselves.”

Furthermore, while New Orleans is a tight-knit community in many ways, Breland says sex workers here often are isolated, especially compared to a place like Nevada, which has a “much stronger, almost unionized” community of sex workers.

Among WWAV’s successes is overturning a Louisiana law that would have labeled sex workers convicted of crimes against nature (a statute dating back to 1805 outlawing oral and anal, but not vaginal sex) as sex offenders.

Critics said the law disproportionately targeted people of color and transgender women.

In 2012, a federal judge ruled the law unconstitutional. In the wake of the decision, the Center for

Constitutional Rights filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of those sex workers who remained on the registry in spite of the change in law. In a settlement, the state agreed to remove hundreds of sex workers’ names from the registry in 2013.

NEW ORLEANS HAS A LONG AND CONFLICTED HISTORY with sex

work. Storyville was a regulated (and for white patrons only) district of legal prostitution on the skirts of the French Quarter that lasted from 1897 to 1917 and was intimately tied to the jazz scene and integral to the rich legacies of New Orleans culture. Though solicitating sex for money has been illegal since Storyville’s demise, historians, publishers, owners of former brothels and bawdy houses and even a T-shirt store still profit from those 19th-century working women through tourist dollars, book sales and marketing local mystique.

While sex workers may be ostracized, criminalized and persecuted, the allure of what they do makes for perennial mainstream entertainment and adds to New Orleans’ touted love of debauchery, misfits and raunchy entertainment. HBO is developing a television show based on Gary Krist’s 2015 bestseller about Storyville, Empire of Sin: A Story of Sex, Jazz, Murder and the Battle for Modern New Orleans.

The nostalgic affection for yesteryear’s working women doesn’t translate into affection for present-day sex workers in New Orleans, especially those of color or non-conforming gender identity.

The bulk of issues faced by New Orleans sex workers are shared by their compatriots nationally: stigma, criminalization, police harassment and violence. Still, there are challenges particular to workers in New Orleans and Louisiana. Most recent is the New Orleans City Planning Commission’s proposed cap on the number of strip clubs in the French Quarter. Claims of human trafficking in strip clubs drove the Louisiana Legislature to adopt a law requiring all strippers in the state to be 21 to perform in a club, legislation many dancers and activists call unnecessary.

“Anti-trafficking laws are just horrible — they’re really harming,” says Sardina, citing fabricated numbers, exaggerated statistics, and conflation of trafficking and

THESE CONCERNS ARE REFLECTED IN THE DESIREE ALLIANCE CONFERENCE PROGRAMMING,

with presentations such as “Trafficking Laws: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly,” “Uncovering the Truth About Trafficking in the U.S.” and a meeting of the Anti-Trafficking Caucus.

In addition, sex workers in New Orleans and Louisiana sometimes encounter racist and transphobic attitudes, while LGBT individuals and people of color often are profiled as sex workers. Conference co-hosts WWAV and BreakOUT! address sex workers’ rights among a host of intersecting issues, acknowledging the complicated ways in which social injustices overlap. BreakOUT!, a local organization dedicated to ending criminalization and persecution of LGBT youth in the city, recognizes the significance of the conference to LGBT youth and people of color in the city.

Co-director Wesley Ware says BreakOUT! found people of color and trans individuals were being disproportionately stopped by police who assumed they were trading sex for money.

In response, the organization launched a campaign that resulted in Policy 402, which governs the way New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) officers handle LGBT individuals and people of color, ensuring that race and gender identity do not constitute reasonable suspicion. Ware says BreakOUT!’s participation in the Desiree Alliance conference stems from the organization’s commitment to people targeted

by law enforcement, including those who “trade sex to survive in a city that doesn’t offer many opportunities in terms of employment or housing, especially for young trans people of color.”

“WWAV and BreakOUT! are two organizations that work diligently to end victimization of sex workers,” Breland says. “It’s important to represent sex workers in the South.”

“We do things differently in the South,” Chateauvert agrees. “And it’s not just the racial politics, though they are front and center.

I also think there’s a tendency when you walk down the street, you say hello to people.” Chateauvert says that reflects “a sense of community” that ensures “people are going to fight.”

Mistress Genevieve, a New Orleans professional dominatrix, says she’s happy locals will see that “sex workers get serious.”

Furthermore, attendees from across the globe will benefit from the collective knowledge and experience of New Orleans workers and activists.

Setting the conference in New Orleans makes a host of issues visible to attendees, but also introduces them to the vibrancy of local organizing and activism, Calhoun says.

“I think this part of the U.S. is often left out of the discussion, which is a shame because the movement faces unique obstacles down here,”she says. “This part of the country is different.

The Gulf Coast, especially NOLA, has a different culture, and the average person from this area has had different opportunities and faced different challenges than what may be common in the majority of the U.S. and I think our experiences as sex workers are worth knowing about as well.”

For Calhoun, the conference offers an opportunity to hear voices that are often left out or misunderstood, while the region is assumed to be populated by “backwards idiots stuck in the past.” In reality, she says, “New Orleans is pretty damn inspiring.”

Sardina concurs, adding that activists “have everything to learn from New Orleans,” including a get-it-done attitude she admires in Southern organizers and simply figuring out “how to get from point A to point Z.” She says conference attendees can learn from the energized, engaged and intersectional approaches taken by the workers and activists of New Orleans.

consensual sex work. Melinda Chateauvert, a New Orleans resident and author of Sex Workers Unite: A History of the Movement From Stonewall to Slutwalk, also sees anti-trafficking rhetoric as harmful and says sex workers must resist “the narrative being put out by local anti-trafficking groups of who exactly is the sex industry in Louisiana.”

“The most pressing issues for sex workers (in my opinion) are working toward decriminalization and combating stigma,” Calhoun says, “as these are the two biggest factors that facilitate violence against sex workers. I believe that working to dispel the myths perpetuated by prostitution prohibitionists (especially those working in anti-trafficking) is a big part of reaching both of those goals.”

Italian renaissance

Vessel christened

Josephine Estelle is a Warehouse District hotspot inside the Ace Hotel.

under a new team, it’s home to the more modern restaurant and lounge Vessel NOLA (504603-2775; www.vesselnola.com).

Partners Alec Wilder, Eddie Dyer and Chuck Brechtel officially opened the restaurant last week after a series of soft-opening dinners.

Though the owners have taken care to retain the building’s historic features — including the 25-foot ceilings with exposed beams, originally built to resemble an upside-down ship’s hull — the interior has been remodeled to offer a more casual environment than its predecessors.

That includes a yawning 35-foot bar fashioned out of walnut, and come fall, a large outdoor terrace will open.

The restaurant’s kitchen is being helmed by chef Nick Vella, who previously worked at MiLA, Noodle and Pie and Cibugnu. (Vella competed in Gambit’s Emerging Chefs Challenge last year.)

The owners describe the cuisine as “coastal Mediterranean,” which ranges from house-brined pickles and snacks to vegetable-heavy sides, seafood appetizers and entrees and Turkish-style flatbreads.

Snacks include smoked Gulf fish dip served with lavash crackers and rabbit rillette with peach mostarda and a biscuit.

The menu is guided by a quality-driven California cuisine ethos, Wilder says, and the menu will change frequently to reflect seasonal ingredients.

Current dishes include heirloom tomato salad with cucumbers and Creole tomato water and Gulf snapper crudo with watermelon sorbet, pickled watermelon rind and basil “Pimm’s fizz.” Olive oil-braised chicken is served with charred okra, blistered tomatoes, corn, roasted shallots and chicken dashi reduction.

Pastry chef Amelia Watts’ dessert list features buttermilk pie with pickled blueberries, sweet corn gelato and barley crumble, and Valrhona chocolate cake with roasted white chocolate pudding, cherry sorbet and smoked cocoa nib tuilles.

General Manager and Commander’s Palace alum Joe Pilie is overseeing the restaurant’s wine program while beverage director Wyatt

BY H E L E N F R E U N D @helenfreund AT JOSEPHINE ESTELLE, VEGETABLES ARE PARTICIPANTS, NOT BYSTANDERS. A delicately fried

soft-shell crab is good enough on its own, but ribbons of shaved asparagus, pink radishes and fresh fava beans add dimension and crunch, and ultimately make the dish outstanding. Stracciatella, a dreamy creation in which soft cheese curds meet heavy cream, is framed by a bouquet of fresh vegetables: pale green romanesco, bright purple radish petals, crunchy marigold-hued beets, Bibb lettuce.

The restaurant, opened in the spring by Memphis chefs Andy Ticer and Michael Hudman inside the buzzy Ace Hotel, is decidedly Italian.

Dishes often are whisper-light, a far cry from the standards at Sicilian and Creole red sauce joints that pepper New Orleans. I love a plate of meatballs and red gravy as much as the next person, but the food here is a lovely respite — a reminder that Italian food can be as simple as a few fresh ingredients combined with care.

The snapper crudo is one of the menu’s most talked-about dishes, and rightly so. Nutty brown butter sauce, the dish’s star, pools around thin slices of fish, and crisped sunchoke chips teeter on top like bronzed flower petals. Crumbled hazelnuts add earthy crunch while petite dollops of Meyer lemon curd add a semi-sweet acidic jolt.

Some dishes carry strong Southern flair. Red snapper arrives swimming in a soupy potlikker broth with

collard greens, while chili-infused vinegar adds a burst of heat and fermented Brussels sprouts and lemon confit round out the dish with tart sweetness.

The chefs also understand the value of a little excess. Arancini features four types of cheese — fontina, Taleggio, mozzarella and Parmesan — folded into golf ball-sized bites.

Braised veal breast looks and tastes like a lacquered piece of pork belly. The brined and braised meat arrives nestled on a bed of nutty farrotto — a hearty, warming dish.

Servers make a point of informing guests that pasta is served in the true Italian manner as a mid-course.

It’s a useful warning, as most dishes wouldn’t suffice as an entree.

Gnocchi with Gorgonzola are served in a bowl painted with a thick streak of balsamic and showered with arugula. The pillowy pasta tastes of the sharp cheese though other elements tame some of its bite. Agnolotti are served with an earthy mix of sweetbreads and chicken thighs. Dressed with chanterelles and a heavy shower of Parmesan, the tiny pockets taste woodsy and peppery. Caccio e

peppe — a basic cheese and pepper dish — features canestri instead of spaghetti, and sauce clings to the tiny tubes in the chewy, salty and intensely peppery dish.

Desserts take a backseat, but the short list has a few interesting options. A hunk of creamy Brillat-Savarin is served with blackberries, dark chocolate bark and buttery shortbread cookies — a brilliant sweet and savory combination.

Service operates like a well-oiled machine: consistent, knowledgeable and friendly. But the restaurant has the unmistakable chaos of a buzzed about, see-and-be-seen hotspot. It’s best to expect the occasional wait when getting a drink at the bar and know that a night here won’t be a quiet evening at your neighborhood trattoria.

Gyro scope THE HALAL GUYS (301 St. Charles

Ave., 504-302-2918; www.facebook.com/thehalalguysnola) opened its first New Orleans location June 24. The New York Citybased chain (www.thehalalguys. com) is known for oversized gyro and chicken platters and sandwiches. The restaurant grew out of a Middle Eastern and Mediterranean fast food concept that three friends launched out of a hot dog cart in Midtown Manhattan in 1990. Their spot quickly drew lunchtime crowds and long lines. The franchise has expanded globally with more than

Untipped workers stiffed by restaurant LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER FRENCH GASTROPUB ANNA’S OPENED IN THE MARIGNY, it closed. The restau-

rant had announced a no-tipping policy and said workers would be paid $15 per hour. Nine employees were not paid at all, including himself, chef Rodney Burns told Gambit June 28.

Christopher Jones, a manager and part-owner of the restaurant, confirmed that the Royal Street bistro closed June 24, one week after it opened. What sparked the sudden shutter isn’t clear, but it appears related to a fallout among the owners.

According to Jones, owner Jean Ranguin “disappeared with all the money” when payroll was due at the end of the week of June 19-25 and has since refused to pay the restaurant’s employees and the rent due at 1913 Royal St., a space formerly home to ICHI Japanese Ramen House and before that, SukhoThai.

Ranguin and his wife, Catherine, and daughter, Anna (the restaurant’s namesake), moved from Paris to New Orleans earlier this year to open the Francophile spot.

“On Friday, (Ranguin) showed back up at the restaurant and said

200 locations in the works, including several in Louisiana.

The restaurant’s simple menu features a choice of gyro, chicken or falafel over rice and vegetables or stuffed into pita and drizzled with fiery red chili sauce or the restaurant’s signature white sauce. Fries with hummus or tahini and baklava round out the short menu. The restaurant is open from 10:30 a.m. to midnight daily.

3-COURSE INTERVIEW

Jilliann Tish BARTENDER/CONSULTANT BARTENDER AND ENTREPRENEUR JILLIANN TISH RUNS HER OWN COCKTAIL BUSINESS, Belle of the

Bar. What started out as an occasional pop-up evolved into a bar and cocktail consulting program in which Tish plans bar setups and signature cocktail programs for events. Tish spoke with Gambit about her business.

What spurred the idea for your cocktail business?

TISH: I’m originally from Ohio, and I moved to New Orleans about five years ago. Before I moved down here, I decided that I wanted to learn a trade as opposed to just trying to wing it. Knowing what I knew about the city being a city of libations and celebrations, I thought, “What better way than to immerse myself into it completely?” Previously I knew absolutely nothing about alcohol, and I’ve never really been that much of a drinker, but I really like the art of mixing flavors. So I went to bartending school in Cleveland and I fell in love with it — to literally make something out of thin air and realize that there is a special technique behind it and that there’s a way to make it really, really good. I come from a family of entrepreneurs, and in the end I knew I wanted to make something of my own with it.

Belle of the Bar originally started as a pop-up service. I did several different pop-ups at stores where I would provide my own cocktails at my own expense and pretty much hope for the best.

Now it’s a consultation service, which makes it a lot easier. A bar is one of the stressful points that most people forget to think about.

Having a full bar at any type of event is pretty pricey and can get pretty overwhelming. So what I do is I come in and consult; I let people know you don’t have to have whiskey and rum and vodka and gin. You can have a vodka drink and you can have a whiskey drink and they can have similar flavors or not. … I work to customize and create drinks. … It’s really

Email Brenda Maitland at winediva1@bellsouth.net

fun to create something that’s almost like their signature. I kind of like the idea of creating drinks for people rather than creating them just for a bar. I really describe it as my art, just in liquid form. It’s almost just like my adult chemistry set.

How does your cocktail philosophy differ from traditional bar programs?

T: I really think that people have this misconception that people have to drink really stiff drinks.

I came to realize that a lot of people didn’t know very much about alcohol. A lot of my drinks have a really natural look — I make all-natural syrups — with fresh fruit cooked down with just a little sugar, so it’s not the syrupy sweet a lot of people associate with cocktails, but once they try it, it’s just this explosion of flavor — something that’s been cooked down for so long. I think a drink is really a whole experience from the preparation and the presentation to the actual imbibing of it, and then the aftereffect. It’s meant to be enjoyed, and that’s the thing that a lot of people forget outside of New Orleans. I think down here we have a really good handle on how to enjoy our drinks.

What’s your drink of choice?

T: I personally am not a drinker, which people think is pretty funny.

I’m kind of a lightweight myself.

But when I do enjoy one, I really love a good gin and tonic. I think you just can’t go wrong. It’s really simple. — HELEN FREUND

BEER BUZZ

@noradeirdre

NEW ORLEANS-AREA RESTAURANTS INCLUDING BOUCHERIE, COCHON BUTCHER AND PIZZA DELICIOUS were ahead

of the curve in curating their drinks menus to include craft beers.

Here are some newer restaurants with notable beer programs.

• Andy Ticer and Michael Hudman, the chef partners at the newly opened Josephine Estelle in the Ace Hotel (600 Carondelet St., 504-930-3070; www. josephineestelle.com), hail from Memphis, Tennessee. When planning their restaurant, they insisted that Memphis’ Wiseacre Brewing Company be represented in its beer list. This led to Wiseacre’s wider distribution locally through Crescent Crown.

• Primitivo (1800 Oretha Castle Haley Blvd., 504-881-1775; www.primitivonola.com) in Central City features locally and nationally brewed beers on its 10 taps. General Manager Ronald Copeland says he likes to include large breweries (such as Lagunitas Brewing Company and Brooklyn Brewery) and small ones (Parish Brewing Company and Second Line Brewing). “The idea is to give people a mix of familiar [and] something they may not have heard of,“ Copeland says.

• Meribo Pizza (326 N. Lee Lane, Covington, 985-302-5533; www. meribopizza.com), which just opened, is the brainchild of Vinnie LeDonne, formerly general manager of Palmetto’s on the Bayou, OF WINE THE WEEK

Primitivo offers 10 craft beers on tap.

P H OTO B Y NOR A MCGUNNIGLE

and Gavin Jobe, co-owner of The Pelican House in Baton Rouge.

Both restaurants have well-curated beer lists, and LeDonne and Jobe bring the same focus to Meribo.

All the beers are local or regional.

• Bacobar (70437 Highway 21, Suite 100, Covington, 985893-2450; www.bacobarnola. com) serves a variety of Louisiana beers on draft, including NOLA Brewing’s 7th Street Wheat and 40 Arpent Brewing Company’s New Basin Stout. The beers complement the Asian-inspired menu.

• At Dryades Public Market’s (1307 Oretha Castle Haley Blvd., 504-333-6100; www.dryadespublicmarket.com) Bar 38, customers can get beer from Covington Brewhouse, Gnarly Barley Brewing Company, Urban South Brewery and other local breweries for $5 a pint.

enjoy the essen of brunch tials

THIS 100 PERCENT CHARDONNAY WINE is produced

in southern France’s Bouches–du-Rhone IGP (Indication Geographique Protegee), on the outlying edges of Provence. The estate sits on a plateau at more than 1,800 feet above sea level, and free-draining soil means more flavorful wines. After nighttime harvest, the grapes were pressed and the juice placed in stainless steel tanks and vinified for two days, then fermented eight to 10 days. On the palate, taste citrus, apple and pear with mineral notes. Drink it with sushi, grilled fish, roast fowl, seafood terrines, shellfish and soft cheeses such as brie and Camembert. Buy it at: Philippe’s Wine Cellar.

Obedience school Pro tips for training your pup B Y K AT S T R O M Q U I S T

nlike coolly indifferent cats, who will knock snowglobes off dressers and sleep in laundry baskets as long as they live, dogs want to learn.

Grayson White Boudreaux, owner of DogMa Pet Care of New Orleans (504-812-8088; www.dogmacare. com), says canine curiosity is one of the best weapons in a trainer’s arsenal. Effective trainers trust that dogs are rational — in their own way. “[They’re] eternally opportunistic creatures. … [In training, the dog is] figuring out ‘The more correct choices I make, that makes my life better,’” she says.

Most styles of obedience training share underlying themes of consistency, structure and awareness of your dog’s needs and abilities. Three trainers offer tips.

PUPPIES SHOULD START OBEDIENCE TRAINING AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE. Ann Becnel, owner of Ann

Becnel Companion Dogs (6107 West End Blvd., 504-616-6067; www. abcompaniondogs.com) says “peak socialization” takes place between eight and 12 weeks old. During that time, expose the dog to different environments and types of people (think children, the elderly, people with beards, people in wheelchairs).

This helps the dog become comfortable in unfamiliar situations.

Different age groups of dogs have different attention spans. Adult dogs can handle longer training lessons, while puppies should have several short daily sessions with frequent breaks.

CONSISTENCY IS KEY. Boudreaux compares training a dog to teaching a toddler. Even though the concepts are simple, the dog won’t understand if you don’t act the same every time in response to a behavior. Set clear boundaries and consistently reinforce positive behavior with treats, petting or encouraging words. Don’t expect the dog to pick up things on its own.

It may take some time for your pet to respond to the same command in different environments. Dogs have trouble generalizing and extrapolating, so a “down” or “sit” command that seems hard-wired at home may take additional training for expeditions to the park.

LINK CORRECTIONS TO POSITIVE ACTIONS. “You don’t want to get in

the habit of constantly telling the dog no,” Boudreaux says. “Your dog’s getting frustrated, and so are you.” Dogs can recognize what you mean by a hard “no,” but interrupting the behavior without further instructions creates turmoil and confusion. Follow “no” with a request for a behavior (like “sit.”) This can be used to great effect when correcting existing bad habits. For example, dogs that jump on guests can be trained to go to a specific place in the house when visitors arrive so they can interact with the new person in a controlled way.

PRACTICE LEASH DISCIPLINE.

Many dogs struggle with leash reactivity and exhibit actions including jumping and pulling when someone approaches. This often is learned in puppyhood, when attention from passersby encourages bad behavior.

A dog in training receives a treat for completing a task.

“If it’s a friendly puppy, that puppy is getting reinforcement for jumping and carrying on and not paying attention to their owner,” Becnel says.

A vest or collar that says “do not pet” or a polite mention that your dog is in training and prefers not to be petted can help discourage neighbors and their pets from disrupting your dog’s walk and exacerbating leash-related issues.

LET RESPONSES (OR LACK THEREOF) TO COMMANDS INFORM YOUR TRAINING. When a dog won’t obey

a command, it generally doesn’t mean the animal is being difficult or ignoring you. This is a sign that the association hasn’t been made between the command and a behavior (in trainer-speak, the behavior isn’t “proofed”).

Boudreaux suggests asking for a behavior twice. If the dog doesn’t respond, it tells you it doesn’t know the command and suggests an area to focus on in future sessions. Repeating a command the dog doesn’t know can make it harder to learn that command in the future.

ABOVE ALL, DOGS THRIVE IN A WORLD WITH RULES. At The Good

Dog Training & Rehabilitation (818441-1837; www.thegooddogtrainingneworleans.com), founder Sean O’Shea says problems such as biting often stem from environments that are too permissive. It’s fine to dote on your dog, but affection has to be tempered with rules and structure.

“Ninety-nine percent of behavior issues come from dogs being stressed and anxious from not having enough information about what’s OK and what’s not OK,” he says. Overstimulated, stressed-out dogs are unpredictable, which can lead to a crisis.

According to O’Shea, dogs don’t need a firm daily routine, but they do need structure and rituals they can rely on (“If I do X, I get Y.”) This soothes anxiety and goes a long way toward correcting burgeoning behavioral issues.

If you see early signs of aggression such as growling or staring over a food bowl or snapping, seek help from a professional trainer.

The difference between cats & dogs and humans

Some do’s and don’ts for pet owners

BY K A N DAC E P OW E R G R AV E S

A

nimal lovers make their pets part of their family and often treat them as their children. Truth is, dogs and cats (or any other domesticated animal) couldn’t be more different than humans in their reactions to and understanding of things that go on around them.

Animals, for instance, don’t like to have their personal space invaded, especially if it involves restraining them in any way. Though dogs can be trained and practice restraint within their circle of humans — less so with cats — people shouldn’t be surprised when they display primal instincts.

Here are some things humans consistently do that really bug their pets.

What dogs hate

14

Some signs a dog isn’t comfortable being hugged: ears back, lips apart, head turned away and body leaning away.

• Ambiguous body language/ verbal cues

• Being forced to socialize with people and dogs they don’t like

• Being approached by a stranger who is making eye contact

• Holding or messing with their face (it’s a personal space issue and a main cause for dog bites)

• Being bored • Being rushed during walks

• Hugging (they feel dominated, restrained and anxious)

Renew, Refresh, Refinish • Inconsistent rules (dogs don’t understand why they can snuggle on the couch with you when you’re sick but not at other times)

• Patting their head, in particular, can be uncomfortable (scratch them above the tail instead)

• Lack of rules

• Their human to be tense

• Messing with their paws

• Walking on a tight leash

Flight of the Conchords Sing Flight of the Conchords

NOW THAT THEY’RE INTERNATIONAL FILM STARS, musical-comedy icons and one of New Zealand’s biggest bands (“In terms of members, all the other bands in New Zealand are one-man bands”), what do Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie — Wellington-cum-HBO accidental cultists Flight of the Conchords — do in the • July 11 shadows? Eat half a banana and leave the other half behind. (“We are in a position • 8 p.m. Monday that we can have as many bananas as we • Saenger Theatre want, and it starts to go to your head.”)

• 1111 Canal St., (504) 287-0351; Check emails on the toilet while at a party. (“The No. 1 rule is everybody have some www.saengernola.com fun/ And the No. 2 rule is the downstairs loo is only good for No. 1.”) F—k on the ceiling. (“You’ve been learning sex moves ’cause you just touched my nips/ Yes, I’ve been reading Cosmo for clothes advice and sex tips/ Page 87, spice things up and touch his nips!”) But it’s not all jokes and songs and jokey songs. A few of the issues the Conchords have supported: robot liberation (“We no longer say yes, instead we say affirmative/ Yes — er, affirmative”); epileptic dogs (“Send a check in the letter/ And make a setter feel better”); and issues (“They’re turning kids into slaves just to make cheaper sneakers/ What’s the real cost, ’cause the sneakers don’t seem that much cheaper/ Why are we still paying so much for sneakers when you got little kid slaves making them? What are your overheads?”) Think about it. David O’Doherty opens. Tickets $35-$54.25.

THE AFTERMATH OF WORLD WAR II HAS PROVIDED THE SETTING AND SUBJECT MATTER FOR SOME • July 8 & 11 OF THE MOST POWERFUL FILMS OF THE LAST FEW YEARS, especially • 7:30 p.m. Friday; noon Monday as regards European imports. Prime Prytania Theatre, examples include Pawel Pawlikowski’s Ida and Christian Petzold’s Phoenix, 5339 Prytania St., two adventurous films that devel(504) 891-2787 oped their own methods for • www.neworleansfilmsociety.org exploring personal identity and the psychological effects of war.

Presented as part of the New Orleans Film Society’s 19th annual French Film Festival, director Anne Fontaine’s The Innocents is more conventional in concept and execution than those films, but still manages to pose burning questions in an artful and original way.

The Innocents was inspired by the real-world experiences of World War II French Red Cross Dr. Madeleine Pauliac, who uncovered the horrific truth of widespread sexual assaults of Polish women by Russian soldiers during the final months of the war. Victims of these assaults included Catholic nuns and novices living in secluded convents. Pauliac not only gave medical treatment to these women but also the psychological and practical support required to maintain the convents and the nuns’ way of life in the aftermath of terrible trauma.

Fontaine’s film stars Lou de Laage as Mathilde, a French Red Cross doctor modeled after Pauliac. (De Laage also has a lead role in The Wait, or L’attessa, another film at the French Film Festival.) Brought by a desperate Benedictine sister back to her convent, Mathilde discovers the shocking reality of at least seven pregnant nuns, the result of a days-long occupation of the convent by Russian troops. None is receiving medical care for fear of exposure to the local community, but also because their vows preclude them from being examined or touched by a physician, even a female doctor. Mother Abbess (Agata Kulesza, who played the title character’s long-lost aunt in Ida) believes the convent would be closed and the sisters shunned if word got out.

The introduction of the worldly atheist Mathilde into the cloistered environment of the convent sets up an epic clash of secular and religious worlds as they existed in Europe just after the war. Multifaceted and driven by ideas, The Innocents is smart and capable enough to juggle disparate themes, from the fragility of faith to the duties of motherhood to the dangers of religious fundamentalism. It reveals its secrets slowly but maintains a pace brisk enough to keep us fully engaged with the story.

In her first adult role, de Laage comes across as the essence of clear-eyed compassion. Her emotionally and sexually liberated Mathilde helps bridge the gap to today’s world. Kulesza, one of Poland’s top actresses, was 42 during the shoot but manages a convincing turn as the much older Mother Abbess. Though shot largely within the austere setting of a period Polish convent, the film’s visual style intentionally recalls the lush compositions of Italian Renaissance painting.

There’s a timeless quality to The Innocents that makes it hard to pin down. It feels like it could have been made at any time over the last 40 years — as long as that time was receptive to sophisticated, adult-oriented dramas. It replaces the oversimplified, “us-versus-them” mentality of many war films with a keen interest in understanding those different from ourselves. A female perspective may be just what war films always have lacked. — KEN KORMAN

The Innocents

OUR TAKE

Though depicting the brutal fallout of World War II, The Innocents is a timeless story about faith, secularism, motherhood and trauma.

REVIEW

THESE DAYS, NEW ORLEANS’ SHARED HISTORY WITH HAITI IS MUCH BETTER KNOWN THAN ITS SPANISH CARIBBEAN HERITAGE, so it may come as a surprise that when Louisiana was a Spanish colony we were governed by officials in Havana, Cuba, not Spain. That island history came to mind when viewing Antonio Carreno’s abstract paintings at Stella Jones Gallery. A native of the Dominican Republic, Haiti’s neighbor, Carreno infuses his work with something of their shared island’s metaphysical aura, as seen in Senses (pictured). Here mystical markings reminiscent of Voodoo and other symbols punctuate crimson blood and hibiscuslike swatches radiating out from verdant green glades and deep azure pools amid a misty veil of atmospheric slate and gold in a composition that recalls both tropical nature and the turbulent history of the Caribbean. Amid the more subdued hues of works like Endless Night are some related motifs that not only • Through July 22 evoke indigenous mysticism but also the Af• Raw: Mixed-media paintings ro-Caribbean rhythms that define our musical heritage from Louis Moreau Gottschalk to

• Stella Jones Gallery Also on view is a selection of works by New • 201 St. Charles Ave. Suite 132 Orleans native and pioneer abstract expressionist Ed Clark, who along with Norman • (504) 568-9050 Lewis came to symbolize black America’s • www.stellajones.com contribution to an idiom viewed by many as a visual version of modern jazz.

After years of semi-nomadic existence, the internationally celebrated Music Box village of musical shanties now has a permanent Bywater home. A production of the nonprofit New Orleans Airlift (www.neworleansairlift.org), the Music Box project still relies on Kickstarter campaigns for its funding, but its new permanent address will provide it with a foundation on which to build. — D.

THE TIGERMEN DEN IS AN INTERESTING CHOICE OF VENUE FOR STAGING THE HOUSE OF BERNARDA ALBA, a play written in 1936 by poet and dramatist Federico Garcia Lorca, during the Spanish Civil War. The tiny, rustic space simulates the claustrophobic atmosphere where five unmarried sisters are sequestered by their heartless mother Bernarda (Kathleen McManus) within a tightly controlled social system.

Produced by In Good Company, a theater company with a mission to tell women’s stories, Lorca’s play continues to be relevant and could similarly depict the subjugation of women by repressive cultures across the Middle East, Asia and Africa.

The opening scene takes place at the funeral of patriarch Antonio Maria Benavides where family members are dressed in black as church bells sound. The Andalusian countryside is impoverished and beggars arrive at the door looking for scraps. Local custom dictates that mourning continue for eight years.

Servants Prudencia (Jennifer Pagan), who loved Antonio, and Poncia (Sherri Marina) fear and despise the widow Bernarda, who rules the house with an iron hand. Bernarda is so cruel, she imprisons her 80-year-old mother Maria Josefa (Carol Sutton), who tries to escape and return to her old village PHOTO BY RIDE HAMILTON and marry.

Why remove your old bathroom and kitchen fixtures? Re-glaze them!
