614. Part 2 of out chat with Ana Croegaert about the removal of Confederate monuments. We also talked to her about her participation in second line parades around the city. “In 2017, the City of New Orleans removed four segregation-era monuments celebrating the Southern Confederacy and valorizing white supremacist ideology. As in other cities, efforts to remove such monuments are not new, and historically have been connected to collective challenges to racialized inequality, and more recently to transnational postcolonial struggles. Given the longstanding activism in favor of removing such monuments I ask, Why now? In exploring this question, I examine the circulation of images, talk, and text about the monuments in relation to the city's post-2005 political economy and find that people's expressed sentiments regarding the statues illuminate the ongoing challenges faced by New Orleans' multiracial working-class and poor residents. I argue that the city administration's framing of the monuments as emblems of an unequal past decouples the monuments' removal from the urgent need to meaningfully address present inequalities.”   “I am a Chicago-based anthropologist working with ethnography, performance, and artmaking to expand awareness of people's creative efforts to deal with the aftermath of harm and to craft hopeful futures. From coffee cultures to public memorials, my work spans kitchen cupboards, urban gardens, and city streets to record how people make meaning in their daily lives.” Now available: Liberty in Louisiana: A Comedy.

Alexandria Krewes Parade 2:00 pm. Sunday, March 2, 2025 Route: Texas Avenue – Masonic – Memorial – North Boulevard – Alexandria Mall Alexandria, LA 71301     Each Mardi Gras Parade Krewe has a unique history and theme. Some have been around for decades, while others have been in existence for just a few years. The goal of the AMGA (Alexandria Mardi Gras Association) is to provide a cultural event, appealing to all cross sections of the community, state and region, to help stimulate the economy.     The Mardi Gras du Couer de la Louisianne (Mardi Gras in the Heart of Louisiana) spirit has really taken hold of Central Louisiana since the first parade was held on Sunday, February 13, 1994. Alexandria's Mardi Gras has grown from having a total of ten floats with participation of four Mardi Gras Krewes that first year, to presently having twenty-three floats and Krewes. The Krewe Parade attendance is estimated at 150,000 and the Children's Parade attendance is estimated at 45,000.     For additional information, please contact us here. Postcards from Louisiana.

Created for Brussels European Capital of Culture in 2000, the Zinneke Parade has become a mainstay of the city's cultural landscape. Every two years two dozen Zinnodes (think of the Krewes of New Orleans' Mardi Gras) rally around a theme (after such themes as Water, Disorder, Temptation, Fragility, Illegal and Wolves! this year's theme is Trompe l'oeil) and create an unforgettable, entrancing, striking and magical spectacle that combines elements of Belgium's very rich and ancient carnival folklore with a contemporary multicultural twist . What does it take to put it on? We spoke with Peter Veyt, artistic director of the Jette Zinnode to find out. www.zinneke.be

New Orleans theater-scene Renaissance man (and Bloody Nose Empty Pockets star) Michael Martin brings THE SONS OF TENNESSEE WILLIAMS to the table, the 2011 doc about the birth of the first recognized gay Krewe in the 1960s, as told by the men who were instrumental in creating it as they put together their 40th anniversary ball. Archival home-movie footage mixes with photographs and newspapers to open a window into the culture of New Orleans in the 1960s, when Jim Garrison (aka Kevin Costner's character in JFK) was District Attorney and terrorized the gay population with public shaming campaigns and "morals raids" on clubs and bars. Michael dishes on New Orleans theater, Chicago, Mardi Gras, creating characters, and more. VOTE on whether THE SONS OF TENNESSEE WILLIAMS is "essential NOLA cinema" Recorded 7/10/20.

A.C.E. Adventures of Creative Entrepreneurship Episode #021   Host: Kristy OustaletGuest: Katrina Bress - Mardi Gras ProductionShow notes & links can be found at: http://kristyoustalet.com/21 Mardi Gras in New Orleans is known as 'The Greatest Free Show on Earth' but this week's guest, Katrina Brees gives us a taste of the big bucks that goes into pulling it off and the immense amount of time and energy it takes to orchestrate this two week extravaganza. Don't let the 'free show' fool you, the Mardi Gras industry means big business.  One single float starts at $80k and can easily reach a half million dollar price tag.  Yes, just one. Katrina is an ambitious entrepreneur that handles all things Mardi Gras.  Her small business, I Heart Louisiana, never has a dull moment between: parade production, krewe management, krewe branding, booking entertainment and more.  All of the services her company provides, stays true to her ultimate mission to have the industry support local artists, creative solutions to cut waste and preserving the culture and tradition.   Shocking Mardi Gras Facts: - Mardi Gras festivities results in 50-100 tons of trash per day- Krewes spend an average of $56k per block in throws and most ends up in the trash- When the ports of China opened up in the mid 1990's nearly all of the throws are made cheaply and imported covered in pesticides.  Gross.   The good news is that I Heart Louisiana works year-round to find creative ways to transition us into a more sustainable carnival.  Putting artists first and elevating creativity and design are at the core of her business.  Here's a sampling of her solutions: - Reconstructing previously worn krewe costumes - Sourcing handcrafted keepsake throws, costumes and props by local artists - Partnerships with local food manufacturing- broker for the factories (who doesn't love an edible throw on the parade route?) - An advocate for quality over quantity + putting local artists and economy over importing - Dreaming up new fundraising techniques for krewes rather than the standard mark-up on beads.   #ACE
