BY WILL COVIELLO

SAT. NOV. 16 | How many late-’90s, early-aughts New Orleans bounce and hip-hop staples can you fit on one bill? This lineup includes Ghetto Twiinz, Partners-N-Crime, Fila Phil, Lady Red, Ricky B, Ms. Tee, Kilo, Cheeky Blakk, Magnolia Chop and Hot Boy Ronald. At 10 p.m. at The Howlin’ Wolf.

THE NEW ORLEANS JAZZ & HERITAGE

Foundation has presented its Treme Creole Gumbo Festival and its Congo Square Rhythms Festival on separate fall weekends in Louis Armstrong Park. This year, it’s combining the two in a single free festival, with full programming for each. That means there are two music stages, a larger combined art market and more on Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 16-17. The Treme Creole Gumbo Festival has had two pillars: gumbo and brass bands. The music lineup this year features Soul Rebels, Red Hot and Big Six brass bands on Saturday, and a day of continuous brass band music Sunday with Rebirth, Hot 8, Treme, Pinettes, Free Agents and the LPO’s brass band. Food vendors offer several varieties of gumbo, including a vegan version, and there are a few cooking demonstrations. The Congo Square Rhythms Festival is based on the culture of the African Diaspora and presents a mix of African drum and dance performances and bands representing various local music traditions. The lineup ranges from Luther Grey’s Bamboula 2000, which celebrates the percussion traditions brought to New Orleans by enslaved Africans, to Mardi Gras Indian music by Big Chief Bo Dollis Jr. and the Wild Magnolias. There also are sets by Kermit Ruffins and the Barbecue Swingers, Big Sam’s Funky Nation, Corey Henry & the Treme Funktet, Tonya Boyd-Canon, the Charmaine Neville Band and others. Performers include percussionist Seguenon Kone and African dance-based groups Tekrema, Kumbuka African Dance & Drum Collective, N’Fungola Sibo and others. A Mardi Gras Indian battle is an annual part of the fest, and this year it features three groups. The Wild Tchoupitoulas, Creole Osceola and

TUE. NOV. 12 | The alt-rock forefathers in Dinosaur Jr. are in the longest phase of the band’s career, having been reunited longer than the time they spent apart. Recent releases, like 2016’s “Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not,” are as good as anything it put out in its earlier chapter. Dinosaur Jr. recently reissued its four, mostly J Mascis-recorded 1990s-era albums on Cherry Red Records. Easy Action opens at 9 p.m. at Tipitina’s.

FORESTival in the Woods

Young Indians of the Nation will enter Congo Square and show off their feathered suits before taking the stage and singing traditional songs such as “Indian Red.” The music lineup also includes an early set by Harbinger Project. The hip-hop group got some attention during the Essence Festival when rapper Common saw the band performing on Canal Street in front of a hotel and picked up a microphone to freestyle with Ray Wimley. The duo later appeared on late-night TV together. The Soul Rebels have a closing set Saturday. The group released its first studio album in seven years, “Poetry in Motion,” Oct. 25. The band has long worked hip-hop into its brass brand repertoire. In recent years, it has collaborated with artists including Nas, Wu Tang Clan’s GZA and Talib Kweli and others. “Poetry in Motion” sometimes sounds like a hip-hop album with a big horn section. The party anthem “Good Time” features Big Freedia’s signature deep vocals along with Denisia and Passport P. “Blow the Horns” features Passport P and Sean Carey. The album also has contributions from Branford Marsalis, PJ Morton, Tarrio-

SUN. NOV. 17 | It took hip-hop collective Brockhampton almost a year to release its fifth studio album, “Ginger” — a relatively slow pace compared to its first four DIY-spirited full-lengths, which were issued within 15 months. The alt-y hip-hop group is on tour with English emcee Slowthai, who features on Brockhampton’s recent LP. Slowthai opens at 7 p.m. at The Fillmore New Orleans.

The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation owns the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. Proceeds from the festival support annual festivals such as Treme Creole Gumbo, Crescent City Blues & BBQ and the Louisiana Cajun-Zydeco Festival.

“Trans Scripts Part 1 The Women” SUN.-MON. NOV. 17-18 AND NOV. 2225 | Intrigued by strained relationships between gay and transgender communities, New York writer Paul Lucas interviewed 75 people of various ages and ethnicities in the transgender community. “Trans Scripts” uses their own words to tell their stories.

A March of Dimes report released Nov. 4, 2019 said Louisiana had the second highest rate of premature births in 2018.

Bell Artspace, a former Treme

middle school transformed into affordable housing for artists and people transitioning out of homelessness, received the 2019 Advisory Council on Historic Preservation/U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary’s Award for Excellence in Historic Preservation. The school had been vacant since Hurricane Katrina before nonprofit developer Artspace proposed the $38 million project, which opened in April 2018.

Mike Yenni, outgoing Jefferson Parish president and former Kenner mayor, misspent as much as $119,000 during his transition into office, including renovations to his parish office, according to a report by Inspector General Dave McClintock. About $261,000 was spent during Yenni’s transition, and the IG report said $119,000 of it was questionable. Yenni received a draft of the IG’s report this summer and about a month later announced he would not seek re-election.

LOUISIANA HAS SECOND-HIGHEST PREMATURE BIRTH RATE IN THE U.S.

LAST YEAR, 13% OF LOUISIANA WOMEN who gave birth had their child

at least three weeks early, the second highest rate in the nation, according to a March of Dimes report released Nov. 4. That premature birth rate, the fraction of births that occurred before the 37th week of pregnancy, is a 10-year high for the state and earned it a failing grade in the report. Orleans Parish’s rate was slightly higher than the state’s average, coming in at 13.5%. The highest rate in the state was Caddo Parish at 18.1%, nearly double the national average. Pregnant black women in Louisiana are affected at much higher rates than their white counterparts, with 16% and 10.6% preterm births, respectively. March of Dimes said its goal for 2020 is to get the premature birth rate down to 8.1% or lower. In 2018, only Oregon met that goal. Mississippi’s rate of 14.2% was the highest in the nation. Other states that received a failing grade — with a premature birth rate at 11.5% or higher — are Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, West Virginia and the territory of Puerto Rico. The average cost of a preterm birth is $60,000, when also accounting for early intervention services and special education services once the child is born. The March of Dimes credits the 2016 Medicaid expansion by Gov. John Bel Edwards with lowering rates of premature birth for black infants in the state. The report recommends extending Medicaid maternity coverage for a year after birth and to have prenatal care groups and committees further research maternal death. — KAYLEE POCHE

New Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport opens The long-awaited $1 billion terminal at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport opened the morning of Wednesday, Nov. 6, after an overnight move from the old terminal.

Public libraries are providing more copies of e-books, or digital books, to users than ever before, but a policy change from one of the largest publishing companies in the United States is disrupting how New Orleanians and others across the country access new titles online. Macmillan Publishers announced that beginning Nov. 1, library systems are only allowed to purchase one copy of new Macmillan e-books during the first eight weeks of a book’s publication. (The embargo only applies to Macmillan online text editions, not audiobooks accessed online.) Library systems nationwide have pushed back against the policy, arguing that it impedes access to new material for library users and will lead to long wait lists for new popular titles. The New Orleans Public Library (NOPL) has joined several major public library systems in boycotting purchasing new e-book releases from Macmillan, hoping to put pressure on the company to do away with the policy. The NOPL system spends tens of thousands of dollars on e-books a year at rates two to three times what an individual would pay for an e-book. Under the new policy, the first copy would cost libraries half of what it does now (around $30 as compared to $60), and the library system would have access to it forever, but only one person would be able to rent the copy at a time. That means all 15 public libraries in New Orleans would share a sole e-book during the first two months after it’s released. In states where libraries purchase all their e-books together, that could mean only a single copy would be allowed for the whole state at first. After eight weeks, libraries no longer will have the option to pay for that perpetual copy but may lease copies at full price, meaning the library won’t have access to the copy after it is lent 52 times or after two years, whichever comes first. Libraries in the NOPL system will still continue to purchase new audiobooks and print materials from Macmillan, as well as titles released before the embargo. Macmillan CEO John Sargent said in an Oct. 30 letter to librarians that the company was not trying to

negatively impact libraries but was attempting to find a way to address the effect of the “tremendous growth in e-book lending” on the publishing industry as a whole. “We are not trying to hurt libraries; we are trying to balance the needs of the system in a new and complex world,” he wrote. “We believe windowing for eight weeks is the best way to do that. ” Mayor LaToya Cantrell also has signed a statement by the Urban Libraries Council calling for “equitable access to e-books” and calling out publishing companies for embargoes like Macmillan’s and for charging libraries “unreasonably high prices” for digital books. — KAYLEE POCHE

Tulane selects genderinclusive homecoming court Tulane University honored seniors Albert Howell and Lauren Gaines as homecoming “royalty” on Nov. 2, as the student organization overseeing the annual festivities officially abandoned the gender-specific terms “king” and “queen,” swapping them out for a single inclusive title. In making this semantic decision, Tulane joined a growing nationwide movement of high schools and universities seeking to diversify homecoming courts to include trans, gender non-conforming and non-binary students. Penn State and Purdue universities were among the first colleges to institute gender-neutral homecoming courts. Tulane implemented the change a year after the school’s Tidal Wave committee, which oversees homecoming activities, began discussing ways “to make the tradition more comfortable,” said Greg Feiling, associate director for programming at Tulane’s Lavin-Bernick Center for University Life. Student Lily Schwartz, who served as the Tidal Wave homecoming committee chair, said the previous method of running the homecoming court “could be polarizing to students, especially to those who don’t conform to traditional gender norms.” She also said homecoming court members are “leaders and role models” who are ultimately assessed by their professionalism, academic excellence and commitment to the university and the New Orleans community. “We believe that changing from king and queen to royalty promotes a more inclusive culture on campus,” Schwartz said the Tulane community reacted positively to the changes. Howell and Gaines accepted their regalia at halftime during Tulane’s football game against Southern Methodist University. — SARAH RAVITS

COMMENTARY

LOUISIANA IS AT A CROSSROADS.

Voters on Saturday, Nov. 16 will decide which direction our state should take — and who should lead us there. Gov. John Bel Edwards has served honorably and effectively. He gave Louisiana honest budgets with increased funding for all levels of education, from pre-K through college, and he gave teachers their first pay raises in nearly a decade. Edwards also expanded Medicaid, which reduced budget deficits and literally saved lives. So the question for all voters — Democrat, Republican and independent alike — comes down to this: Do we maintain course with a governor who reaches across the aisle to restore funding to education and health services and who has amassed a $500 million surplus? Or, do we return to the regressive policies of the Bobby Jindal era with scorched-earth budget cuts and partisan battles that get us nowhere? It’s really as simple as that. The electorate is almost equally split. Edwards led the Oct. 12 primary with almost 47% of the vote. Republican Eddie Rispone, a longtime GOP mega-donor who has run as a pro-Trump “outsider,” finished second with more than 27%; fellow Republican Ralph Abraham got more than 23%. Recent polls suggest a very close race on Saturday. President Trump has made three trips to Louisiana during the runoff, underscoring the importance of this

Gambit has endorsed incumbent Gov. John Bel Edwards.

race to him after Kentucky voters last week rebuffed his call to re-elect that state’s GOP governor. Trump’s popularity in Louisiana notwithstanding, this race is about Louisiana, not Washington. Edwards offers voters a solid record of bipartisan accomplishment. Rispone’s campaign has been utterly devoid of specifics; even his vocal supporters can’t (or won’t) say what he’ll do as governor. Here is a ballot with our recommendations that you can take with you on Saturday. Even if you disagree with our endorsements, we hope you’ll get out and vote. Your vote is your voice, and it’s heard loudest at the polls.

Eddie Rispone (left) and John Bel Edwards (right) AS THE CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR make their final, manic pitches

to voters in the Nov. 16 runoff, a few things are already becoming clear based on early voting trends and late campaign stratagems. I’m not predicting the outcome, but it’s safe to draw two conclusions before any returns come in: • The runoff turnout will likely be significantly higher than it was in the Oct. 12 primary. • Louisiana’s statewide elections have become nationalized, no matter who wins the governor’s race. How much higher the runoff turnout will be is a matter of speculation — with room for polite disagreement. The Oct. 12 primary turnout of 1.34 million (46%) already was much higher than the 2015 primary and runoff. The runoff four years ago saw a pitched battle between thenU.S. Sen. David Vitter and now-Gov. John Bel Edwards, but it drove only 1.15 million voters (slightly more that 40%) to the polls. Most of the higher turnout this year came among white conservatives, which is good news for GOP challenger Eddie Rispone. Early voting, which is evolving as a predictor of total turnout, is higher across the board — among Democrats and Republicans, whites and blacks. It’s particularly higher in New Orleans. In the October primary, New Orleans’ 38% turnout trailed the statewide total of 45%. A higher New Orleans turnout in the runoff is good news for Edwards. The nationalization of our gubernatorial elections has been a goal of Louisiana Republicans for decades. It has now reached a point where it may, in a close race, tilt the balance. The reason: Donald Trump.

Republicans historically have waged an “air campaign” in state and national elections, whereas Democrats relied more on the “ground game.” Republicans typically relied on media messaging to drive their voters to the polls, while Democrats mounted street-level efforts and (more recently) tapped into social media to spike turnout. With Trump, the GOP has a one-man air campaign and ground game driver. But, as we saw in Kentucky recently, he can’t single-handedly put a bad candidate over the top. In fact, in a state like Louisiana, which has a much higher African-American electorate than Kentucky, Trump potentially could drive as many “anti” voters to the polls as supporters. That’s one of the things we won’t know until Election Night. Pollster and political consultant Greg Rigamer, who is working with the Edwards campaign, says the higher level of early voting in the Nov. 16 runoff could portend a turnout that equals or exceeds the nearly 1.5 million votes cast in the 2018 mid-terms — meaning 50% or more. “I think all the attention we’ve seen with the President coming to Louisiana twice in the final 10 days of campaigning has nationalized this election. Given all that, it would be safe to anticipate a turnout of at least 1.5 million, which we saw in the mid-terms last year. It also would not surprise me to see it go higher, perhaps to 1.6 million.” To that I’ll add this: Don’t be surprised to see a final outcome as close as the Kentucky governor’s race, which was decided by less than 5,000 votes. That makes every aspect of turnout critical for both candidates.

Bar 1908 BLUE MOON ICED COFFEE BLONDE Blue Moon Iced Coffee Blonde is a well-balanced blonde wheat ale with a touch of honey, brewed with fair-trade coffee beans that gives it a great coffee ﬂavor and aroma. Blue Moon worked with Denver-based Luna Roasters on the beer, and interestingly, they opted to use decaf beans, meaning unlike other coffee beers (and hard coffees, especially), Iced Coffee Blonde doesn’t provide any caffeine kick. - Mike Pomranz | Food & Wine

Nole melds Latin and Creole cuisines BY RE B EC C A F R I E D M A N NOLE IS FOUNDED ON AN INTRIGUING CONCEPT: infusing Latin American

and south Louisiana cuisines. As more Latin American restaurants open across the New Orleans area, it was only a matter of time before someone officially married the two in a single restaurant. The person behind Nole is Al Copeland Jr., son of the late founder of Popeyes, Copeland’s of New Orleans and other concepts, and the restaurant occupies the space formerly home to Copeland’s Cheesecake Bistro and Straya. The menu was designed by chef Chris Lusk, who hails from Texas and currently is the executive chef at The Steakhouse at Harrah’s New Orleans. Lusk previously worked at Restaurant R’Evolution and the now shuttered Cafe Adelaide & the Swizzle Stick Bar and the Caribbean Room. Nole’s executive chef is Blake Offret, formerly of Borgne and the Caribbean Room. Nole is attached to the St. Charles Coach House hotel, and visitors can take advantage of free valet parking. An outdoor patio offers eating and drinking space. The restaurant’s interior is vast, with Latin music playing and a neon sign proclaiming “HOLA Y’ALL” against a green plant wall — designed to attract selfie takers and Instagrammers. Cocktails at Nole are fun. In addition to margaritas by the glass or pitcher, including the winning hibiscus margarita, there is a section of Latin-inspired drinks — a mojito, Paloma and pisco sour — as well as New Orleans classics. Several of those cocktails have Latin twists, like the Vieux Nola, combining rye, rum and bitters, and the mezcal Sazerac, which combines the smoky agave spirit and traditional components. Nole boasts a sizeable

tequila selection, and something called the “Tree-Quila of Life” can be customized with shots from various makers in quantities ranging from six to 25 shots. The menu melds culinary traditions in interesting ways. Guacamole features smoked pecans and pickled okra, along with big chunks of avocado. A fried pickled okra appetizer includes fried green beans. Chips and salsa come with cracklings, and nachos get a regional treatment with the addition of tasso and red beans. The kitchen also incorporates Creole cream cheese into several dishes, from blue crab street corn to a roasted mushroom flatbread. Both blackened and fried fish tacos feature lime Creole cream cheese, though it couldn’t overcome their mushy texture. Several tacos are topped with mirliton slaw, an interesting Louisiana riff on cabbage. Of the entrees, it’s hard to pass up Al’s Southern bone-in fried chicken fajitas, which were essentially Popeyes-style chicken with tortillas and pickled cabbage. It is a fun and tasty experiment, although it lacks the

cohesion and multidimensional flavor of traditional chicken fajitas. Tamales filled with hearty cochon de lait and smoked brisket enchiladas were satisfying choices. The rich red sauce on the enchiladas was remarkably similar to that on the shrimp and grits. It worked on the enchiladas but was too heavy and tomato-y for the shrimp, which were overcooked. The black beans and green rice that accompanied several dishes were flavorful but heavily salted. For dessert, a molcajete-style dish held bread pudding with vanilla ice cream and ancho praline sauce with just the right amount of chili heat. The Nole sopapillas were squares of fried dough dusted in powdered sugar, beignet style. Ultimately, Nole offers a refreshing take on two cuisines well represented in New Orleans.

to Discovering Cheeses You’ll Love,” says there are many reasons the South has lagged on the cheese front. The climate can be tough on dairy animals mainly responsible for cheeses: cows, goats and sheep. They can thrive in hot and dry places, such as France’s Provence or southern Spain, or cool and humid regions, but hot and humid conditions are challenging. Though cheese varieties historically developed due to particular cultural or geographic circumstances, Thorpe says that today, many cheeses can be made virtually anywhere, and cheesemakers can meet the tastes of the local market. In McComb, Mississippi, Mauthe’s Progress Milk Barn (www.facebook. com/mauthesprogressmilkbarn) makes Creole cream cheese, a product rooted in New Orleans’ culinary history that the Mauthe family resurrected around 2000. The dairy had been producing only milk for years but needed to expand its offerings. “My dad dairied in the Lower Ninth

EAT+DRINK Ward,” Kenny Mauthe says. “They made Creole cream cheese in the days before pasteurization. The more we researched it, we found it was a staple in diets from New Orleans to Lafayette. We started out thinking we were just going to sell milk, and Creole cream cheese became our main product.” Mauthe’s also produces farmhouse cheddar, feta, fromage blanc and mozzarella curd. “The greatest thing we have (in the South) is that we can grow grass 365 days a year,” Mauthe says. “Grass-fed milk makes some unique cheeses. Our cheeses could be well known because of grass we grow here, especially during the winter months.” — REBECCA FRIEDMAN

Roman holiday IN HER LATEST COOKBOOK , “Nothing Fancy,” chef/author Alison Roman (www.alisonroman.com) encourages readers to think of entertaining as nothing more than “having people over.” Roman’s regular food columns for The New York Times and Bon Appetit focus on replacing the fussiness often associated with cooking for guests with a simpler approach. Roman is in New Orleans for events Nov. 18 at the Hotel Peter & Paul and Nov. 19 at Levee Baking Co. To simplify entertaining, Roman emphasizes straightforward recipes and easy-to-make snacks, like dips with fresh vegetables — she doesn’t say “crudite,” that’s fussy — or a cheese board, even if it’s just a hunk of good Parmesan. She also acknowledges social media’s role in making entertaining seem more intimidating than it needs to be. “Giving someone the permission to say ‘No, you don’t actually have to do that,’ is really empowering — freeing people up to make something of their own without feeling like it needs to be Instagram-ready or impressive for somebody to post about,” she says. Now in her mid-30s, the self-described extroverted introvert prefers inviting people to her home over going out to dinner. She also favors quality over quantity regarding ingredients. Welcoming people into your home is about hospitality, not matching silverware, she adds. For the bar, Roman recommends hosts have “one nice bottle of something.” In her home, that bottle often is mezcal, a versatile spirit she serves in cocktails and at the end of the evening as a “wind-down” beverage. As the holidays approach, Roman looks forward to Thanksgiving leftovers as much as the main meal. She suggests a leftovers party as a low-pressure way to clean out the fridge. — REBECCA FRIEDMAN

3-COURSE INTERVIEW

Therese Nelson Chef/writer THERESE NELSON IS A PRIVATE CHEF and founder of www.blackcu-

linaryhistory.com. She posts content about black chefs, cookbooks and culinary history, and the group uses social media to network, crowdfund projects and share information. Nelson presents a talk and cooking demonstration for the Ray Charles Program in African American Material Culture at Dillard University’s Georges Auditorium at 11 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 14.

Who are some of the historical black culinary figures that should be more widely known? NELSON: Some of the most powerful work I am doing is that these names give us the truth of our foundational legacy in this country. I started researching chefs like James Hemings, Hercules (Posey) and Malinda Russell — chefs who were enslaved who were really our first credible trained chefs in this country. It’s a narrative that you can’t divorce yourself from. If I am a uniquely American chef by birthright, these chefs make the case for my autonomy and my agency in this industry. Hemings is literally our first trained American chef. He was (Thomas) Jefferson’s chef. He went to France with a delegation before the Revolution and trained. He could have been free. He would have been automatically free entering France. Hemings understood his place as an American. It’s tricky to understand the agency of an enslaved person in that era, but he made a deal with Jefferson and came back to the United States and trained cooks at Monticello. So Monticello was the country’s first cooking school. He stayed on. He had children who were enslaved. It’s a complicated relationship with Jefferson, but food took (Hemings) around the world. He came back to the country; that’s an act of patriotism. You don’t have Edna Lewis without Hemings. You don’t have that Virginia legacy without Hemings.

How did you start your website? N: It started as a personal project and my thought processes about what being black in the culinary

industry meant. It’s grown into a social network and it’s part archive. Now the network is mainly on Facebook. There are about 5,000 members, and it’s got 3,000 chefs from around the globe. It’s interesting to see who’s connecting and see books getting published. Michael Twitty funded his “Cooking Gene” project through the group. He’s a culinary historian and writer. “The Cooking Gene” won a James Beard (Foundation) award. He used our group to crowdsource the research project that founded that work. Blackfoodfolks is an Instagram-based group in New York. It’s the (kind of tool) you want to have in any trade organization. It’s become critical. We were in New Orleans a year ago for Howard Conyers’ Gumbo Jubilee. We were all affected by how simple it could be to connect with each other. It’s similar to Julia Turshen’s EATT (Equity At The Table), but it’s a really simple platform. That sort of project is growing. You can’t say we don’t exist, because here it is. It’s a program that lists women and food — if you’re looking for African-American chefs in Seattle, there they are. If you’re looking for queer women in food writing in the Midwest, here’s the listings.

How has your research affected your cooking? N: I am able to define my own range. As a younger chef, my range was narrow. I hadn’t caught up to the idea of a more full identity. I am an ingredient-driven chef. I think of it as new American (cuisine) with a very African view. It hadn’t occurred to me 10 years ago that there couldn’t be specificity within (the cooking of the) African Diaspora. It’s great that the culinary world has caught up. I can find palm oil in Whole Foods. If I am going to use sugar, it’s going to be sorghum. I can use fonio instead of couscous. I have a responsibility as a chef to be as thoughtful about culture as about technique. — WILL COVIELLO

PREVIEW Elvis Costello & The Imposters BY RAPHAEL HELFAND DECLAN PATRICK MACMANUS was born 65 years ago in London’s Paddington neighborhood. He signed with Stiff Records at 22, and his manager suggested he start performing as Elvis Costello. That same year, he released his debut P H OTO B Y S T E P H E N D O N E album, “My Aim is True,” which featured such signature singles as “Alison” and “(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes.” His career has spanned four decades and crossed into different genres, including new wave, pub rock, power pop, art rock and country. Since the 1990s, he’s been backed by The Imposters, featuring Steve Nieve on keyboards, Pete Thomas on drums and Davey Faragher on bass and backup vocals.

FILM Some national chains do not announce their opening weekend lineups in time for Gambit’s print deadline. This is a partial list of films running in the New Orleans area this weekend.

GOING OUT REVIEW ‘Josephine Sacabo: Moments of Being’ BY D. ERIC BOOKHARDT JOSEPHINE SACABO ONCE SAID, “I believe in art as a means of transcendence and connection. My images are simply what I’ve made from what I have been given.” Such sentiments have permeated all of her exhibits, but perhaps none more than this “Moments of Being” expo of photogravures at A Gallery for Fine Photography. Here her imagery appears to bypass the concerns of place seen in her recent work based on French Quarter graffiti C O U R T E S Y A G A L L ER Y F OR and the iconography of old Mexico and instead F I N E P H OTO G R A P H Y takes its cues directly from the near-seamless mix of dreams, art history and poetry that informs her vision. What we see reflects what can happen when the imagination meanders through the dusky realms where cultural history and the psyche overlap and reveal veiled insights into the poetics of the feminine and the ever-shifting, sometimes elusive, nature of reality itself. Even the titles allude to this interweaving of nature, culture and our direct personal experiences. “Half Truths” (pictured) is emblematic for its visual boldness mingled with its implicit ambiguities. Everything about it seems straightforward at first, from its geometric lines to the directness of the gaze of its subject. But what is that gaze conveying? Is it questioning, accusatory or simply relaying a revelatory moment that may go through many interpretations that evolve over time? Sacabo believes that many people become fixated on first impressions that are compacted into frozen, sometimes accusatory, attitudes that fail to take into account the impossibility of truly knowing what anyone else is really thinking or feeling, or the path that led them to that point. Poetry and visual art become resonant when they convey those other dimensions. “Vengo A Verte Pasar Todos Los Dias” is simply a window framing the elegant profile of a woman. The luminosity of the backlighting of the billowing baroque curtains dominates the image, but it also reflects the infinite meanderings of the imagination. Each image is visually unique but, like the mind itself, the implications and ramifications go on and on. Through Jan. 4, 2020. A Gallery For Fine Photography, 241 Chartres St., (504) 568-1313; www.agallery.com.
