Mardi Gras Indians and Other Works by Robert Freeman

Mardi Gras Indians and Other Works by Robert Freeman

Presented by Regis College at Fine Arts Center - Regis College

Many consider the Mardi Gras Indians, or Black Indians, to be the true heartbeat of New Orleans. Although primarily associated with Mardi Gras, the Black Indians also exist outside of that celebration, and have a distinct culture with rituals going back centuries. Artist Robert Freeman captures the vibrancy of the people and traditions that transform the streets of New Orleans in performances that harken from Africa and the original tribes of America.

A free public reception to celebrate Mardi Gras will be held on Tuesday, February 25 from 6:30-8:30pm. Music, free food, and a cash bar. A panel discussion and artist talk will begin at 7:00pm.
