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 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.
Members, UL students, faculty and staff are free; Public entrance with museum admission.
