BLACK PANTHER A GUIDE TO THE WORLD’S FIRST BLACK SUPERHERO, FOR NON-NERDS David Frese (Kansas City Star) for Triangle Today Once again it’s time for a superhero movie. And once again, non-nerds are left wondering, “Who is this Black Panther fellow anyway?” 1. He was the first black superhero There were a few black comic book characters before him, but he was the first with superpowers, which include enhanced strength, agility, speed, instincts and super-acute senses. Plus he’s supersmart, a master martial artist and he’s crazy rich. Comics aficionados may disagree, but basically anything Iron Man, Captain

TRIANGLE TODAY | THE NEWS & OBSERVER
Artists coming soon to the Triangle
presented by
David Menconi for Triangle Today
MOLLY TUTTLE
Still in her mid-20s, Molly Tuttle is already one of the most acclaimed guitarists in the Americana universe. This will be her first time back in Raleigh since becoming the first woman to win the International Bluegrass Music Association’s guitar player of the year last fall. When: March 2, Fletcher Opera Theater, Raleigh. pinecone.org
JEEZY
Rapper Jay Wayne Jenkins dropped the “Young” from his performing name some years back, but he’s still among the top names in the game. There should also be a hometown feel to his “Cold Summer Tour” Raleigh date and maybe some cameo-guest action, since locals J. Cole and producer Gerran “Gotti Rock Solid” Adams both worked on Jeezy’s latest album “Pressure.” When: March 7, The Ritz, Raleigh. ritzraleigh.com
PATTI LABELLE
Way back in November 1965, Patti and the Blue Belles played NC State’s Reynolds Coliseum to open for the Rolling Stones. More than a half-century later, the 73-year-old LaBelle remains forever spry, still dressing to kill and breaking hearts. When: March 23, Durham Performing Arts Center, Durham. dpacnc.com
ROSANNE CASH
Cash is almost as prominent an author as she is a musician nowadays. But she’ll be back in concert mode for “Black List River,” an acoustic evening primarily given over to songs from her recent Southern trilogy of albums. When: April 3, Fletcher Opera Theater. dukeenergycenterraleigh.com Check out the searchable events calendar at

Corbie Hill for Triangle Today Art exhibits at the Gregg Museum, North Carolina Museum of Art, Nasher Art Museum and Ackland Art Museum showcase creativity.
BOB TROTMAN: BUSINESS AS USUAL
The exhibit by the western North Carolina artist is the largest exhibition of Trotman’s kinetic work ever presented. The pieces, of business men and women in suits and workplace clothing, satirize corporate culture. When visitors pass by some of the figures, the figures move or create sounds. When: Through July 1. Gregg Museum of Art & Design at NC State University, Raleigh. 919-515-3503 or gregg.arts. ncsu.edu Cost: Free
PARLIAMENT
Michael Klien, associate professor of the practice of dance at Duke, brings his “Parliament” to Nasher for four days in March. In this work of art, 100 volunteer participants step into the gallery for six- to 10-hour stretches daily, where the stated aim is for them to find space to breathe, escape screens, return to their bodies and retreat into strangeness. To find out what that means, show up. To be a participant, contact Hannah Bondurant at hannah.bondurant@duke.edu. When: March 7-10. Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, Durham. 919-684-5135 or nasher.duke.edu Cost: $7 adults. $5 seniors (65 and older). $3 non-Duke student with ID. Free for 15 and younger.
ART IN BLOOM
For NCMA’s annual Art in Bloom fundraiser, 50 florists are assigned a work of art at random from the museum’s permanent collection. Their mission: to complement it with a floral display. Experience these arrangements during Art in Bloom, which appropriately (and purposefully) coincides with the start of spring. Of note: Paid admission is required to enter the usually free West Building throughout Art in Bloom. The East Building and Museum Park remain open as usual during Art in Bloom. When: March 22-25. North Carolina Museum of Art, Raleigh. 919-715-5923 or ncartmuseum.org/bloom Cost: $18 nonmembers, $13 museum members. Free for 6 and younger. Related events are ticketed separately. Visitors who purchase tickets to Art in Bloom may use their ticket stub to receive a $2 off to “You Are Here.”
Art in Bloom takes place at the North Carolina Museum of Art. Karen Malinofski
PRECARITY
The three-channel video installation is created by John Akomfrah, a London-based artist and filmmaker. Part music video, part documentary, part period drama and part film essay, “Precarity” explores the life of early jazz pioneer Charles “Buddy” Bolden. When: March 29-Aug. 26. Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, Durham. 919-684-5135 or nasher.duke. edu Cost: $7 adults. $5 seniors. $3 non-Duke student with ID. Free for 15 and younger.
YOU ARE HERE: LIGHT, COLOR AND SOUND EXPERIENCES
Let’s be clear. “You Are Here” is big. This immersive exhibit will inhabit a floor of the NCMA’s temporary exhibition galleries, but also modify the landscape of the Ann and Jim Goodnight Museum Park. These works by 14 contemporary artists revolve around the participation or the presence of you, the viewer — indeed, many of them even change in response to the viewer. When: April 7-July 22. North Carolina Museum of Art, Raleigh. 919-839-6262 or ncartmuseum.org Cost: $15 for adults; $12 for seniors, military, college students and groups; $9 for youth 7 to 18; and free for 6 and younger. Free Friday nights for college students with IDs. They go on sale for members Feb. 20 and for nonmembers March 6.
