Parading and Pralines this Thursday

Don’t miss the opening night this Thursday of famed New Orleans photographer Pableaux Johnson’s stunning photos of the Mardi Gras Indians (members of a century-old African American parading tradition). We’ll also screen Newark students’ moving documentary created from 2012 interviews with the legendary Mardi Gras Indian chiefs. Creative director Michael Yearling and the student filmmakers will join Johnson in a talk on the challenges of capturing street culture on film.

The exhibit opens Thursday, Oct 22, in LeFevre Gallery, at 7 pm. To make sure we have enough pralines and coffee, RSVP by commenting below or emailing Jen Anthony (anthony.212). Feel free to attend even if you forget to RSVP.
