SEVEN THINGS TO DO O IN SEVEN DAYS

Changing times

Unknown Mortal Orchestra WED. JULY 11 | On his fourth album as his future-forward pop-funk ensemble, Ruban Nielson’s Sex & Food (Jagjaguwar) takes another stab at pseudo-psychedelic modern world meanderings, carried by surprising pop turns and falsetto vocals that mask his 21st-century paranoia. Shamir opens at 9 p.m. at Republic.

Summer Lyric Theatre at Tulane University presents Ragtime July 12-15

Beauty and the Beast

By WIll COVIEllO In 2016, when Cripple Creek Theatre presented its essentialist version of the musical Ragtime (pared down to 16 characters and just piano accompaniment), it highlighted the story of Coalhouse Walker Jr., an emerging musical prodigy who suffers racial resentment over his success. Staged a month after the death of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, the production echoed outrage over police killings of black men. As Tulane’s Summer lyric Theatre mounts a full production of Ragtime, another of its storylines echoes the current headlines. Tateh, a Jewish artist from latvia, and his daughter immigrate to the united States looking for better lives and struggle to find opportunities. Pushed to near destitution, he’s outraged when his appeal for help is met by a crass offer to buy his daughter. It’s hard to imagine the drama in E.l. Doctorow’s 1975 novel Ragtime will ever not be timely as its intertwined stories illustrate grand social changes at the beginning of the 20th century in New york. It even touches on celebrity, notes director Michael McKelvey. Dancer and actress Evelyn Nesbit grasps at celebrity as her career fades, while Harry Houdini recoils from his own fame. McKelvey is staging Terrence McNally’s Tony Award-winning musical adaptation of Ragtime on the 20th anniversary of its Broadway debut. But Ragtime also fits into McKelvey’s mission to bring more contemporary musicals to the stage at Tulane. “It has one of the best orchestrations written in the past 30 years,” McKelvey says. “I love shows that have that great big beautiful sound. I also like shows that are really smart. Ragtime has a great book.” Summer lyric Theatre’s mission is to present classic musicals using a

full orchestra. For Ragtime, Jefferson Turner, who provided the piano music for Cripple Creek’s version, will lead a 26-piece orchestra. Summer lyric is doing the full 38 cast member production with Broadway veteran leslie Castay as Mother and New york-based singer/actor Brandon Michael Nase as Coalhouse. Nesbit (Maggie Windler) does a burlesque-inspired act on a swing, but props are minimal. Because of all the historical settings in the story, Summer lyric is doing its first show with heavy use of video projection. The production also is using detailed period costumes. Ragtime follows three main plots. Coalhouse’s musical career is modeled on Scott Joplin. Coalhouse has a child out of wedlock with Susan and tries to restore their relationship. Susan has taken refuge with an affluent family that has from New york City to New Rochelle, New york. Mother is left in charge of the household when her husband decides to venture to the North Pole with Admiral Robert Peary. Tateh tries to sell portraits but realizes that technological change will offer him new kinds of opportunities. Doctorow tied together his story in the streets of New york, and he

gave it a broad view of the world by drawing in an array of characters from across the social spectrum. Besides entertainers of the era such as Houdini and Nesbit, the story includes industrialist Henry Ford and banking tycoon and philanthropist J.P. Morgan. Anarchist Emma Goldman speaks up for social justice. Former slave and educator Booker T. Washington tries to advise Coalhouse. While Ragtime draws on the social changes and upheaval of the era, it’s about the shaping of the new century, from the exploration of the Earth’s remote regions to the quest for freedom and opportunity for Coalhouse, Tateh and Mother. “It’s an emotional roller coaster, but it’s our country’s history, too,” McKelvey says. “This is a show with great hope, great heart and great optimism.”

THU.-SUN. JULY 12-15 | Sheer Terror Records hosts the 10th annual punk rock festival, featuring headliners TSOl and Dead Boys and a roster of Gulf Coast-area punk bands, spanning surf- and horror-influenced garage punks to Tex-Mex rock ’n’ roll, thrash, hardcore and more.

Alison Krauss FRI. JULY 13 | Country and bluegrass fiddler and vocalist Alison Krauss has amassed a mighty collection of 27 Grammy awards in her career, and she has spent much of the summer touring with Willie Nelson. She released Windy City, an album of country covers last year. At 8 p.m. at Saenger Theatre.

Yellow Submarine FRI.-THU. JULY 13-19 | The Beatles board the yellow Submarine to save the undersea residents of Pepperland from the marauding Blue Meanies in the kid-friendly 1968 animated film featuring several of the band’s hits and a live concert scene.

Thumbs Up/ Thumbs Down

Number of states with ‘trigger laws’ that ban abortion if Roe v. Wade is overturned, according to Pew Research Center.

Shaina Monet, a New Orleans

native who is earning her M.F.A. in poetry at the university of New Orleans, was named winner of the Iowa Review Award in poetry. The award, which is awarded annually, includes a $1,500 cash award and the publication of three of Monet’s poems in an upcoming issue of The Iowa Review. Cyndi Nguyen

Elie Dupre was ordered to

pay $2,500 in civil restitution for delinquency of a juvenile for his involvement in the shooting and killing of a louisiana black bear, according to the louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. Dupre and his son were found guilty of taking a bear out of hunting season. The louisiana black bear was listed as an endangered species until 2016. The bear shot by the Dupres was part of a long-term monitoring program and wore a tracking collar.

Louisiana has the third-lowest percentage of women state legislators in the country, according to an analysis by The New York Times. Only 15 percent of state lawmakers are women, the Times found. The only states with a lower percentage were Wyoming (11 percent) and Oklahoma (14 percent). Vermont and Arizona had the highest, with 40 percent each. The Times wrote that louisianans would have to elect 51 more women to achieve gender parity in the legislature.

NGUYEN: ‘I’M WILLING TO BE STERN WITH DEVELOPERS’ New Orleans District E Councilwoman Cyndi Nguyen will hold her first in a series of community meetings about the future of New Orleans East on July 11, starting with the long-blighted Frenchman’s Wharf apartments. The meeting is her first districtwide meeting since taking office. Nguyen hopes the series will allow District E residents to get involved in the process to influence developers’ proposals. The series will give residents a chance to “kind of dream a little bit in a way” by allowing them to envision exactly what they want from developers, Nguyen told Gambit. “We also have to understand that we have to work with owners of the properties to get [them] back.” Nguyen is beginning to track blight in the district with pushpins on a map in her office. The 47-acre, 644-unit Frenchman’s Wharf apartment complex is among the largest blighted areas in the district. It has remained vacant since Hurricane Katrina and the levee failures. A lake encompasses 12 acres of the site. Nguyen says her constituents tell her they want retail, restaurants and job opportunities in the district. She says she could see the future Frenchman’s Wharf project as a mixed-use development with a “live, work and play” concept offering commercial office space, retail, health and fitness and housing, possibly with condominiums, rental units and workforce and seniors housing. Nguyen wants to promote District E as “open for business” but not a “dumping ground for projects.” “I’m willing to be stern with developers,” she told Gambit. “I met with developers who showed me a project, then they show me [later] and it looks like shit.” But Nguyen also wants residents to be “open-minded” and learn to “embrace different types of concepts,” she said. “Just because you don’t need it doesn’t mean your neighbors don’t need it.” Nguyen also has suggested hosting additional community meetings in the wake of the City Council’s investigation into Entergy New Orleans’ use of paid actors to show up at a City Council hearing on proposals to build a gas-fired electricity plant in New Orleans East. She said she met with Vietnamese residents of that area and will reconvene after the investigation is complete. PAGE 9

louisiana, Kentucky, North Dakota and South Dakota all have existing laws banning abortion if Roe v. Wade, the u.S. Supreme Court decision establishing a constitutional right to abortion, is overturned. louisiana’s trigger law was passed in 2006 and was signed by then-Gov. Kathleen Blanco. President Donald Trump is in the process of selecting a new Supreme Court justice to fill the seat held by Anthony Kennedy, who is retiring. Trump previously has said he wants to appoint judges who oppose abortion rights. — KAT STROMQuIST

Your Louisiana driver’s license on your phone The next time you get pulled over for speeding by the louisiana State Police (lSP), you can use your cellphone for official identification. The state’s lA Wallet website went live last week, offering residents a new app that will display a legal copy of your louisiana driver’s license for identification purposes. Downloading the app (available for Apple and Android) is free; activating your existing license costs $5.99. A bill authorizing use of the app was submitted by state Rep. Ted James, D-Baton Rouge, and passed during the 2016 legislative session. It specifically does not allow cops to access other information on the phone. The electronic license, the law states, is not necessarily valid outside traffic stops or checkpoints, meaning law enforcement officers and private businesses (like your friendly neighborhood bartender or bouncer) may demand a physical ID. According to the website, “The louisiana legislature is reviewing further utilization of this technology, such as official acceptance at airport security, for alcohol and tobacco purchases, and in other states.” The electronic license cannot be used as REAl ID, the federal standard for state identification that will be enforced starting in October 2020. Currently louisiana residents have the choice to opt in or out with a REAl ID-compliant license.

City Planning Commission to take up short-term rentals The New Orleans City Planning Commission (CPC) will hold a public hearing this week over the future of short-term rentals (STR), after the New Orleans City Council pushed a legislative “pause” button on most whole-home rentals earlier this year. The CPC will hear public comment on STR rules no earlier than 3 p.m. Tuesday, July 10 inside the City Council Chamber at City Hall. The CPC is considering the City Council-approved interim zoning district that prohibits many STRs in neighborhoods, including the issuance of new licenses and permits for “temporary” rentals of up to 90 days a year for listings on platforms like Airbnb. The interim zoning district also prohibits commercial-type STRs (which can be rented out

nightly without a cap on the number of days per year) on the first floor of buildings that also have residential spaces on the other floors. The CPC also will discuss the council’s request for a study on the impact of STRs, a sort of post-mortem a year after the council approved their legal framework (and a revenue-generating one). Along with the “pause”-hitting interim zoning district, the Council amended the CPC study to address a broader range of issues, including best practices in other cities that have stricter STR regulations. STR critics have welcomed the interim zoning moratorium, but housing advocacy groups are pushing the City Council to permanently add those restrictions to the city’s rules, including a “one home, one host” policy that promotes a homestead exemption requirement and prevents STR companies and single operators from buying multiple properties to list on STR platforms exclusively for tourist housing. STR proponents, meanwhile, have clashed with the City Council over the interim zoning district rules, which cut off the issuance of new permits and licenses and halts renewals for temporary STRs.

Kamala Harris, Cory Booker coming to New Orleans u.S. Sens. Kamala Harris and Cory Booker will speak at the 2018 Netroots Nation conference in New Orleans next month, joining a lineup of speakers that also includes former u.S. Housing and urban Development Secretary Julian Castro and Jackson, Mississippi Mayor Chokwe lumumba, among others. The three-day conference Aug. 2-4 primarily will focus on the impacts of recent waves of progressive platforms and movements in the Democratic party and whether their influence will be felt in contested midterm elections and in the 2020 presidential race. Panel discussions will include the influence of black women in campaigning, women’s health care, union organizing, rural voter demographics and the “savior mentality” among progressive organizers. There also will be training sessions on internet organizing. Other speakers include Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, Connecticut Secretary of State Denise Merrill, California Secretary of State Alex Padilla, Vermont Secretary of State Jim Condos and former Houston Mayor Annise Parker, among others. The convention is at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. Find more information on Netroots Nation at www.netrootsnation.org.

COMMENTARY

‘The easy way out’ “I WISH I KNEW HOW TO QUIT YA,” sighs the lovesick

cowboy played by Jake Gyllenhaal in the film Brokeback Mountain. That seems to be the attitude of some Republicans when it comes to Gov. John Bel Edwards and the recently passed state budget and sales tax compromise. u.S. Sen. John Neely Kennedy and state Rep. Cameron Henry of Metairie are two who continue to insist the budget — which lowers a temporary 1 percent sales tax to .45 percent — is somehow a tax hike. And when it comes to spinning it as an increase, louisiana, they just can’t quit ya. The latest member of the “can’t quit ya” club is state Sen. Sharon Hewitt, R-Slidell, who blasted the compromise after it was reached last month and recently penned a guest editorial for The New Orleans Advocate in which she says of Edwards, “Raising taxes is the easy way out.” No, the “easy way out” is obstructing without providing concrete solutions and ignoring the facts. Fact: If you bought a taxable item in louisiana on July 1 — when the new rate kicked in — you paid less than you would have on June 30. Spinning that as a tax increase is disingenuous. Hewitt and other legislators who continue to rail against the revenue compromise say they’re looking out for their constituents, but their motives seem more selfish — and political. Their aim is to make Edwards look like a big tax-and-spender.

Blaming someone else for one’s own failure is the real “easy way out.” Fact: The legislature, not Edwards, has had years to come up with a sustainable, responsible revenue plan but was unable to do so until two weeks ago. Fact: After years of former Gov. Bobby Jindal using onetime funds to balance the budget on paper, Edwards got down to the essential but thankless business of coming up with permanent solutions. you can agree or disagree with his proposals, but he didn’t drive the state into a ditch; Jindal did. Edwards is the tow truck driver trying to get us out.

P H OTO B y ANDREW CANulETTE/ S T. TA M M A N y FA R M E R

Sharon Hewitt

Both Kennedy and Hewitt are eyeing the 2019 gubernatorial race, and in her editorial Hewitt gave a hint at her potential campaign theme: dividing louisianans over Edwards’ expansion of Medicaid. “under his program, able-bodied people are given free health care while working families foot the bill,” she wrote. That’s a lie, and it’s a dog whistle for those who choose to believe Medicaid expansion sucks money out of the pockets of the deserving and gives it to lazy bums. Fact: Expanding Medicaid made it available to hundreds of thousands of working louisianans whose employers don’t provide health insurance and who can’t otherwise afford it. “It’s time that we raise our standards and for once stop asking the taxpayers to bail out an inefficient and poorly run state government,” Hewitt concludes. Ironic, considering Hewitt and other ideological purists in the legislature voted “no” on every revenue proposal this year, forcing the House and Senate into three special sessions that cost taxpayers $60,000 per day. That’s an example of “inefficient and poorly run state government” — and blaming someone else for one’s own failure is the real “easy way out.”

Louisiana lawmakers eye new ‘kind stranger’

LIKE BLANCHE DUBOIS IN A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, louisiana

lawmakers always have depended on the kindness of strangers — particularly when it comes to filling state coffers. Nearly a century ago, the Oil Patch began greasing the wheels of state government. When the wells started to run dry, lawmakers turned to gambling. Now that our share of the gaming pie is shrinking, some leges hope they have lucked into another kind stranger: internet sales taxes. With more and more shoppers going online rather than to the malls, some believe states are on the cusp of a windfall in the wake of a u.S. Supreme Court decision that paves the way for states to tax internet sales. Not so fast, warn budget and legal experts. The Supreme Court’s decision in the case of South Dakota v. Wayfair merely cracked opened the door to states being able to tax online sales. It did not open the floodgates. “The ruling does not allow all states to start taxing internet sales immediately,” says state Sen. JP Morrell, D-New Orleans and chair of the Senate’s Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Committee. “It sends the matter back to the lower court for further review in accordance with the Wayfair decision, which means it opens the door to taxing online sales eventually, but the devil is still in the details.” Morrell notes that the court emphasized the fact that South Dakota, along with 19 other states, has joined the Streamlined Sales and use Tax Agreement. louisiana has not joined the compact. “The court referenced the agreement as

a basis for its ruling,” Morrell says. “That is a benchmark, and in that very important respect we are not like South Dakota even though we passed legislation to make us somewhat more like South Dakota.” So why hasn’t louisiana joined the Streamlined Agreement? In a word: politics. Duh. “We are one of a handful of states that do not have centralized sales tax collections,” Morrell notes. “In every version of online sales tax collections, and in the court’s ruling, it’s all based on states collecting sales taxes and making it easy for retailers to collect and pay. Every workable model has states collecting all online sales taxes and then remitting it to parishes or counties. The fact that we do not have a single point of sales tax collection makes us an aberration.” Centralizing sales tax collection has been a cornerstone of tax and fiscal reform efforts in louisiana for decades, but every time a bill is filed to accomplish that goal local sales tax collectors — of which there are scores in louisiana — line up against it and kill it. Granted, some online retailers are voluntarily collecting and remitting sales taxes, but many more are not. Moreover, it’s not yet known exactly how much revenue internet sales taxes will generate. That said, equity, fairness and good fiscal policy dictate taxing internet sales — and centralizing sales tax collections. But, unless and until lawmakers make it louisiana’s policy to do both, they may have to wait for another kind stranger to happen along.

BLAKE PONTCHARTRAIN™ @GambitBlake | askblake@gambitweekly.com

Hey Blake,

I work for Dickie Brennan & Co. and we’re always curious to find out more about the history of the former Werlein’s building on Canal Street, where Palace Cafe now resides. We found a picture of a 1969 performance in front of the store to kick off a jazz festival. Since the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival began in 1970, what was this event and what role did Werlein’s play in it?

Dear reader,

It’s no surprise that Werlein’s was a part of the event you ask about, since it held an important role in local music history for more than 150 years. The store, known for selling musical instruments and sheet music, opened at 605 Canal St. in 1905. In 1968, when an event known as Jazzfest ’68 (precursor to the current Jazz Fest) was staged, Werlein’s was one of the box office locations selling tickets for the event. In his 2004 autobiography, Myself Among Others: A Life in Music, festival impresario George Wein, who was hired to produce the third jazz festival in 1970, explains that the idea for such a festival here was first discussed in 1962. Wein, who helped launch the Newport Jazz Festival in 1954, explained that the idea of a festival in New Orleans was shelved because of segregation, which still was in effect at the city’s hotels and public venues. In 1968, plans were revived to coincide with the city’s 250th birthday. Wein was considered as producer but says he was rejected when city officials learned that

P H OTO B y DAV E /C R E AT I V E C O M M O N S

Werlein’s music store once was housed in the building that now is Palace Cafe on Canal Street.

Wein, who is white, was married to an African-American woman. “The consensus was that it might be a political embarrassment for Mayor (Victor) Schiro if I were given the job,” Wein wrote. Instead, event chairman Durel Black, who was president of the New Orleans Jazz Club, hired Willis Conover to oversee the first two festivals. Wein was hired for the third in 1970, and together with Quint Davis, Allison Miner and others developed the event into what it is today. As for Jazzfest ’68, the event in May of that year featured headliners louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Dave Brubeck, Pete Fountain, Ronnie Kole and many local acts. The second festival in June 1969 featured performances by Sarah Vaughan, Count Basie and Dizzy Gillespie. Concerts were held at Municipal Auditorium and aboard the SS President riverboat. As a prelude to the Jazzfest events and to promote ticket sales, two free concerts were staged outside Werlein’s. According to newspaper ads, on May 30, 1969, Phil Zito and his band played outside the store. Frank Federico’s band performed there on May 31.

BLAKEVIEW This week local Francophiles will celebrate all things French on Bastille Day, July 14. That got us thinking about the April 1960 visit to New Orleans by French President Charles de Gaulle. During his visit, the renowned World War II military leader stopped in Jackson Square, at St. louis Cathedral, the Bienville monument (then located near the union Passenger Terminal on loyola Avenue) and spoke at AP PHOTO By J E AN JACQ u ES lE V y a luncheon at the Roosevelt Hotel. He spoke of the ties between France and the united States and New Orleans in particular. During his stop at City Hall, Mayor delesseps “Chep” Morrison named de Gaulle an honorary New Orleans citizen and awarded him the city’s International Order of Merit, described as the highest honor the city can bestow. He also was presented with a copy of a New Orleans City Council ordinance which renamed Victory Drive in Algiers as Gen. de Gaulle Drive.

TIME: Photographer Cheryl Gerber revisits photo subjects from years ago By CHERyl GERBER

y first cover story for Gambit was in 1995 — “Gutter Punks” — during which I got to know Rachel, Data, Og, Johnny Rotten and Aedh. While walking my dog past Washington Square Park one recent morning, I saw a tai chi class under the oaks and noticed the teacher had a tattooed circle around his eye. It was Aedh, whom I met soon after he arrived in New Orleans following his expulsion from a seminary for “fundamental theological differences.” He said then that he came to get away from heroin. When I caught up with Aedh a couple weeks ago in the park, he told me that shortly after that article appeared, he quit the drugs

and eventually quit smoking and drinking to live his dream. He heard there was a temple in China where people could practice kung fu all day long. “That sounded awesome to me,” he said. “I had studied martial arts most of my life and at some point I realized it was my life’s motif. So I went to the source.” Aedh moved to China and became certified in wudang taiji, coming back to New Orleans because it’s the “only unique place in America.” Here he met a woman (they just celebrated their 17th anniversary) and today he teaches taijiquan every morning in Washington Square to students young and old. In 2000, Gambit published a cover story on the musical Andrews family. James, Troy, Glen David, Bruce, Glen and Terrence all gathered on a stoop in Treme (at a house which now is an Airbnb) for a family photo. It’s the kind of photo that looks much older than it is simply because so much has changed since then. Troy, aka Trombone Shorty, was still a kid, James was still Satchmo of the Ghetto and Glen David was still performing in Jackson Square. And Treme was, well, still Treme. Of course we all know about the child musicians like Shorty, Amanda Shaw and Glen Hall PAGE 14

III, who have grown into their renowned status. But I’ve also had the privilege to photograph the children growing up in their family businesses. Alison Ha was just a toddler when I photographed her in her parents’ original uptown restaurant Chinese Chinese on Oak Street for a 2003 restaurant guide. This summer, while shooting the 2018 Summer Restaurant Guide, I caught Alison helping her dad at Doson Noodle House in Mid-City, where they moved just before Katrina. “I help out when I can,” said Alison, who is now studying science at the university of New Orleans. A first-generation American, her goal is to become a nurse anesthetist. When I photographed the Rubenstein brothers in front of their Canal Street menswear store in 1999, Kenny Rubinstein wasn’t exactly a child, but 19 years later, Kenny and his dad Andre Rubenstein are still dressing new generations of New Orleanians. Kenny has been working in the store since he was 10 years old. And the family-owned business likely will continue far into the future. Kenny’s father Andre and uncle David Rubenstein have 15 grandchildren between them, so there are other potential fourth-generation family members who are interested in coming into the business. “I hope you can photograph me and my son in 20 years,” Kenny said. For a 1998 story about couples working together, I photographed Alex and Cindy Williams of Potsalot at their $400 per-month pottery studio on Magazine Street. Ghost was the big movie of the ‘90s, so we thought it would be cute to photograph them around the potter’s wheel, with 1-year-old baby Reid for extra cuteness. Since then, the Williamses have moved a few times but have remained on Magazine Street, where real estate and rents have skyrocketed since they started their pottery business in Alex’s spare bedroom in 1992. Today, their younger son Jordan is studying media arts at the New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts and Reid, who joined us via Facetime, is 21 and a senior at the university of Hartford where he is studying theater. When I photographed Alexa Pulitzer in 1996 for Gambit‘s cover story about Generation X, she was just starting her stationery business. Today, she distributes the Alexa Pulitzer product to more than 2,000 retailers worldwide and was chosen by the City of New Orleans to design and brand the New Orleans tricentennial logo. “I took responsibility for my destiny and quit my day job by making my hobby my business and created a

livelihood for both myself and other New Orleanians,” she says. “I still, as I will always, proudly manufacture my stationery in New Orleans.” During my research for this story, I was struck by how many New Orleanians, specifically African-Americans, never came back to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and the levee failures. Such was the case when I found Irelle, a 14-year-old girl who had dreams of being an actress when I photographed her and her siblings 20 years ago for a story about children “orphaned” by drugs, violence or parental incarceration. I didn’t know her last name but was determined to find out what happened to her and her siblings; I scanned Facebook for weeks until I found her broad and unmistakable smile, in Georgia. Today, Irelle Scott Neal lives with her husband and two children in Georgia, where she has lived since the day

before Katrina struck, while working as a part-time actress — and she says she won’t quit until she gets a part in a Tyler Perry movie. Her brother Dwight Vaughn, who wanted to be an entrepreneur, recently opened a Hollygrove lounge called Bar lala. When I walked into the blue-lit lounge, I immediately recognized Dwight. After a big hug, he pointed out all of the renovations and design he did himself. “We are all doing well,” Dwight said of his siblings. And his grandmother still hosts family gatherings at her Gretna home. looking back on these early photos has been like looking through a window to the past, while opening a door to the future. If I’ve learned one thing about photographing New Orleans during the past few decades, it’s the importance of heritage, history and its heirs.

and banana slices in a creative pairing in which the sweetness of the fruit is countered by the salty crunch of sesame seeds and the salmon’s richness. Dishes from the kitchen are categorized as small and large plates, but none of the portions are excessive. Ordering several to share is a good way to dine here. Of the small plates, a muddy mix of shiitake and wood ear mushrooms is served with golden-fried tofu. The earthy, woodsy medley doesn’t have many dimensions of flavor and seems to work best as a side ordered with other dishes. The multidimensional Mala Halla is strong enough to stand alone, with layered slices of soft, gelatinous beef shank, red onions, peanuts and cilantro. It’s seasoned, but the menu advertises ghost chili oil in the dish and I didn’t detect any spicy heat. likewise on two occasions, Dan Dan noodles billed as “spicy” on the menu had no heat from the ghost chili oil listed as an ingredient. Dishes with a personal touch are some of the most successful items. Mama’s dumplings, filled with a mixture of ground pork, ginger and

Tchoupitoulas Street, patrons enter a dining room decked out in bold turquoise and colorful prints. The bright decor is matched by the color and pretty presentations on the plates in a mix of Japanese and Chinese influences. Gong was the longtime chef at Sake Cafe, and his experience with Japanese cuisine and fish are evident at luVI. But Gong was raised in Shanghai and cut his teeth cooking Chinese dishes. His menu reads like a creative, sometimes dreamlike, mashup of the two cuisines. Most dishes featuring raw seafood combine just a few key ingredients, emphasizing their strongest flavors without overpowering one another. Stoplight features thin strips of yellowtail topped with a jalapeno slice, a cilantro leaf and crimson habanero tobiko. In each bite, a tiny punch of heat is subdued by the buttery fish. With many dishes, color and dimension vie with flavor for the spotlight. “Salmon Salsa” features slices of raw salmon and mango arranged in a beautiful pink and marigold mosaic, interspersed with wisps of creme fraiche and razor-thin radish slices and topped with glistening bulbs of ikura, or red caviar. Gong also pays attention to texture. Puffed rice and fried garlic complement ceviche, and a dish combining raw and seared tuna in a small mound is topped with garlicky crostini. When Gong gets playful, there are some off-the-wall combinations. The Monkey Snack features raw salmon

Diners can find seats at the l-shaped bar where Gong holds court. There also are tables along the front and side of luVI, but most accommodate four or fewer diners. Groups of five or more can make reservations, but all other seating is first come, first served and there isn’t much space available for diners waiting for a table. “Feed Me” options ($45 or $60) can include raw and cooked dishes and offer a nice way to sample a variety of dishes chosen by the chef. Whether diners give Gong the reins or choose dishes themselves, sampling a mix of creative raw and cooked dishes can deliver a surprising and delightful meal.

Liz Garibay BEER HISTORIAN

website www.historyontap. com in 2002 and helped create the country’s first beer museum, The Chicago Brewseum. Recently, Garibay collaborated with Chicago’s Illuminated Brew Works and New Orleans’ urban South Brewery on a limited-release farmhouse ale called Two levees to celebrate New Orleans’ tricentennial and Illinois’ bicentennial. Garibay speaks at a launch party for the beer at the Southern Food & Beverage Museum July 14. Garibay spoke with Gambit about beer.

What inspired you to study history through beer? GARIBAY: I’m a historian born and raised in Chicago. About 18 years ago, I started to look at how bars were a unique place to learn about history, really just from the environment but also from the old timers that were sitting there. I became a regular at a lot of these bars, and I found myself fascinated by the stories they were telling me. But the academic in me wanted to fact check, so I would go do research at libraries and museums. I started collecting the oral histories and combined that with my research to create this sort of overall picture of a bar. I did it for fun for a while, but then I started using it as a vehicle to talk about history. That’s when I [became] a historian that looked at history from the lens of alcohol. The next thing I knew, I had one foot in the history world and one foot in the brewery world. I also dreamed up this idea that the country needed a beer museum. Chicago is a great place for it because we’re kind of the quintessential American city that grew during the 19th century and was built by immigrants, where there was a lot of industry and innovation. The Southern Food & Beverage Museum has been a great partner for us. I reached out to liz (Williams, the museum’s founder) when I started to research the concept of this kind of museum. She has been a fantastic resource and a big advocate of what we’re trying to do.

What was the impetus behind Two Levees beer? G: I was sitting at the bar one day and I realized that it was

the bicentennial for Illinois and also the tricentennial for New Orleans. I thought we should do something together with the Southern Food & Beverage Museum. I thought (brewing a collaborative beer) was a fun celebration between the two cities. Illuminated Brew Works had started making farmhouse ale, and that sort of a saison was a perfect match because of the French connection. looking at the history of our cities, the first thing is that we had the French-Canadian explorers coming through both areas, and we had explorers looking for waterways to get to the Mississippi River. The importance of the way our cities were first connected was rooted in that exploration for water routes. … During the 1860s, you start to get the growth of the train and railroad industry. Between the water and the trains, we start being able to exchange culture, food and people. Of course, we both have great music history and great food culture, and I think the most fun part is that we both have very strong histories and reputations of having a really good time — of being (cities) of drinkers.

Why the name Two Levees? G: I came up with the name Two levees because we are two cities on major bodies of water, and levees have always been a significant component of our past. The other thing is that during the 1800s, Chicago had this reputation for being kind of seedy and sinister, and Chicago’s red-light district was called the levee.

PREVIEW Show Me the Body By AlEX WOODWARD

P H OTO B y A S H A M A u R A

Show Me the Body performs at Poor Boys.

“TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE,” an anonymous New yorker says to introduce Show Me the Body’s Corpus I before a storm of noise leaks through the audio. “Don’t f—ing make excuses. Just do what you know how to do.” It’s a mantra, a volatile thrust into the Queens, New york’s disharmony of hardcore punk, hip-hop and harsh noise, shoving its visceral poetry through an industrial blender piped in from the band’s underground garbage matrix. That “time” is also a warning; a rare punk band elevated from basement shows and DIy scenes into an international arts spotlight with a radical platform, taking on gentrification, capitalism, the surveillance state and the war on the poor, and using the low-tech tools of the tech-ravaged wasteland against it. With 2016’s acclaimed full-length debut Body War, the band renders its instruments (a banjo, among them) unrecognizable, wringing out razor-sharp riffs and a lowest-fi wall of sound, a united front of disjointed no wave shocked into focused, acerbic punk and rap-influenced poetry boiling over from sewer steam. For 2017’s Corpus I, the band invited a roster of apocalyptic soothsaying comrades, from noise and experimental artists Dreamcrusher and Moor Mother to rappers Denzel Curry and Princess Nokia, who offer a rare respite in the middle of the mixtape’s chaos of uncompromising, sandpaper-edged screeds tuned to static-clinging three or zero note industrial frequencies. The band’s summer tour stops at 10 p.m. Thursday, July 12 at Poor Boys Bar, 1328 St. Bernard Ave., (504) 603-2522; www.facebook.com/poorboysbar. George Clanton, Brandon Ares and Waste Man open.

REVIEW Doris Ulmann: From the Highlands to the Lowlands D. ERIC BOOKHARDT

HE TH LPING E P YO ER FEC U PL AN T E VE 201 NT 7

A SMALL, FRAIL WOMAN, DORIS ULMANN MUST HAVE CUT A STRANGE FIGURE as she trudged across remote mountains in the shadow of her huge camera and tripod. One of America’s pioneer female photographers, she was born into New york’s latter 19th-century cultural elite and gained early fame for portraits of luminaries including Albert Einstein and William Butler yeats. Over time, she became almost obsessively focused on the reclusive inhabitants of America’s hinterlands, and most of the works in this Ogden Museum of Southern Art expo are views of life in rural Appalachian enclaves and among the Gullah community of South Carolina’s Sea Islands, places where many of the people she met in the 1930s appeared unchanged from their forebears in previous centuries. The Gullah are descendants of enslaved people and kept their own language. Although they share similarities with other rural black communities, the lack of any hint of modern life gives her Roll Jordan Roll series a mysterious, archaic quality. Her Baptism — Group of 4 image of a preacher and his congregants, all draped in white, is an ebony-and-ivory evocation of a life-changing religious ritual met with the same dignified resolve that characterizes ulmann’s best portraits. That quality also is evident in Chain Gang, depicting a group of convicts in striped outfits digging ditches, and in a portrait of a fisherman in overalls holding his net. Images of African-Americans predominate, and the portraits are as deeply American as old Stephen Foster songs. Americana also is pervasive in many of ulmann’s photographs of people in Appalachia, especially in her views of rural craftsmen posing with their tools. But anyone who grew up associating Appalachia with 20th-century “hillbilly” stereotypes might be shocked by ulmann’s otherworldly Woman in Doorway with Peaked Hat or by Child with Parents Dancing (pictured), in which the rakish father and the mother completely covered in concealing fabrics might just as easily pass for Roma, or Gypsies, or Albanian Muslims. Such images convey the inescapable otherness that lies at the core of American identity, even among people who now sometimes claim to be the “real Americans.” Through Sept. 16.
