Artist Talk - Gulf Streams Live: Rooted in Listening

Join us for our latest Artist Talk, drawing on the multidisciplinary exhibition Gulf Streams: Atchafalaya Remixed, plus a celebration on the plaza featuring live music by Palmetto, a Trey Boudreaux experimental music project.

Artist Talk
This program brings together a musician, artist, and folklorist whose practices are each rooted in regional fieldwork - listening to, documenting, and remixing the world around them.

Though their fields differ, each panelist leans into listening as a way of understanding place. The conversation will move through the ways each panelist hears, interprets, and transforms what they encounter – from capturing and composing with ambient sound, to crafting visual narratives through documentary photography and film, to documenting oral histories and Louisiana folklife.

Panelists include:

• Dr. Gwendolyn von Einsiedel, Moderator, Gulf Streams’ Guest Curator, Tommy Comeaux Endowed Chair of Traditional Music at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette

• Olivia Luz Perillo, Multidisciplinary Visual Artist

• Danny Devillier, Musician, Composer, and Educator

• Maria Zeringue, Director, Louisiana Folklife Program
  

Details:

• 5 p.m. Doors open, cash bar opens

• 5:30-6:30 p.m. Panel Discussion

• 6:30-8:00 p.m. Live music on the plaza, featuring Palmetto, a Trey Boudreaux experimental music project.

Summer programming is presented by Dr. Jay Culotta and Kiki Frayard.
