Join us for an evening celebrating the rich cultural traditions of the Black Masking Indians.

Experience Sacred Labor, a powerful exhibition centering the artistry, ritual, and cultural legacy of New Orleans Black Masking Indians sewing traditions. The exhibition situates ceremonial suit-making, intricate beadwork, and handcraft as vital cultural knowledge, moving the narrative beyond the spectacle of Mardi Gras. Join us throughout March to explore large-scale photographic works, a hand-sewn suit, artifacts, and historical texts

The Sacred Labor exhibition comes to life with a special event:

• Live Musical Performance by Black Masking Indians, highlighting the deep musical traditions of the culture.

• Artist Talk to gain insight into the artistry, ritual, and legacy of the sewing traditions.
