Our YAM project from last fall’s Luna Fete, “Behind the Beads: Black Masking Indian Queens Share the Tradition,” will be in this year’s New Orleans Film Festival. Congrats Queens and YAM! Date and time to be announced in September. . . #artsneworleans #blackmaskingindians @amoramenkum @magikfox @guardiansoftheflamemaroons

Cyanotypes with the students! - thanks @jenshaw_nola for leading the way with the pre-coated fabric! #benfranklin_hs #historicalphotographicprocesses

That ashy sunflower wants your attention in a big way! For meadow maintenance this month, we mostly pulled up morning glory vines, cut back other aggressive stuff (looking at you #frogfruit), and positioned our Louisiana Native Plant certification sign. The 5-7pm time was perfect, with the meadow mostly in shade, despite the ungodly heat index. Come next month for a happy hour? . . @civicstudio.coop @waterleadersinstitute #native plants #louisiananativeplants
