Ancestral Odyssey by Vince Fraser

The New Orleans African American Museum (NOAAM) is launching a major new permanent installation, titled Ancestral Odyssey on June 19, 2025, coinciding with Juneteenth. Created by London-based digital artist Vince Fraser, this immersive installation uses cutting-edge technology to reimagine the traditions of the Black Masking Indians, exploring themes of identity and history. Following the public opening, Ancestral Odyssey will become a permanent part of the museum and will expand in the future.

To celebrate the opening of Vince Fraser: Ancestral Odyssey, the museum will host a public opening reception on June 19th at 8pm CT. The evening will include activations led by artist Ashli Ognelodh-Curry and music by DJ Sabine, @sabineblaizin. As space is limited, registration is encouraged. You may register at this link.
The installation is made possible by the generous support of the Afrofuture Society, Andy Warhol Foundation, Mellon Foundation, Open Society Foundations, Silicon Valley Community Foundation, Greater New Orleans Foundation, New Orleans Culture and Tourism Fund, and the Kresge Foundation.
