June 24, 2020
As we continue to protest the brutal murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, and countless others, the moment has arrived to demand real change for our communities. To effectively do so, we must expose an institution's racism and hypocrisy. Not only is there a recently installed plantation exhibition on display at the museum, but there also exists a plantation-like culture behind its facade. The director, senior staff, and board of the New Orleans Museum of Art, historically steeped in white supremacy from the founding of the institution in 1911, need to be held accountable to the people and community they claim to be serving as a public facing institution. We are a group of former NOMA employees who have resigned from the museum in recent years as a result of the toxic work environment and institutional racism outlined below.
NOMA’s own vision for its future is to be “a nexus for the arts in New Orleans, an iconic presence synonymous with the city, and recognized nationally as the foremost cultural institution in the Gulf South.” Yet this iconic presence does not reflect the diversity of its surroundings within a majority Black city. NOMA’s leadership includes only one full-time Black staff member in a pool of 20+ directors, curators, and other decision makers - and none in executive leadership. In July 2018, NOMA hired a new African Art Curator, Dr. Ndubuisi Ezeluomba. Dr. Ezeluomba is also the first Black curator the museum has ever hired in the institution’s 110+ year history. In addition to a predominantly white staff, less than 10% of NOMA’s nearly 50-member board are Black, with no Black individuals holding officer roles or serving as part of the 13-member executive committee.
Black people are continuously put in compromising positions working in this environment. For example, we were happy to see a Haitian American co-curator join the Bondye: Between and Beyond exhibition. However, why did it take this exhibition for him to be offered a curatorial opportunity when he, having been born and raised in this city, has been curating contemporary art in New Orleans for years? While the connection between Haiti and New Orleans is historically significant and culturally apparent, this exhibition represents a missed opportunity. Presented in the Great Hall, as opposed to in another dedicated gallery space, the exhibition featured Haitian Vodou flags created by a white artist. NOMA officially called the exhibition an example of “cultural collaboration,” rather than acknowledging it as an act of cultural appropriation and violence. NOMA did not make it clear to audiences that the artist credited was a white woman. To add insult to injury, the majority of the Haitian artists were not named nor were they properly credited for working on each of the flags presented. Rather than pinning all of the institution's hopes on a Black curator or a Black program manager, the museum should have engaged a wider network of experts; not just people affiliated with colleges and universities, but also practitioners and culture bearers should have been included at the decision-making table.
With more community oversight, the museum might decide to allocate its resources equitably. Purchased in 2015, the Greenwood plantation parlor suite was restored and then installed permanently at the end of December 2019. Archival records at Louisiana State University provided details of the family’s four Louisiana plantations, which enslaved 500 people. This exhibit was designated a priority by leadership, however the prioritization and reasoning behind this decision was withheld from the same staff expected to develop educational materials and programming in conjunction with the installation. This acquisition represents the exchange of money and wealth between elites. Money that could have been spent on public programming, free admission, paying or insuring Black staff or contract workers, or acquiring the work of Black artists into the collection; but was instead used to further enrich the people whose wealth was built on theft (of land and people). Pain and concern expressed by Black staff, volunteers, and community members about the Greenwood parlor exhibition was disregarded. How can the New Orleans Museum of Art claim to encourage dialogue while refusing to hear or respect the concerns of Black members of their own staff?
Over the last two years, over 30 employees have parted ways with the institution, and nearly half of those employees are Black. The majority of those employees experienced or reported incidents of racial and LGBTQ bias and aggression. These incidents were reported to Susan Taylor, Museum Director; Anne Banos, Deputy Director; and Donna Dunn, Human Resource Manager. As a result of such reporting, many employees were forced to sign non-disclosure agreements and were targeted and bullied until they resigned.
A former LGBTQ employee reported HR targeting and homophobic slurs to Deputy Director Anne Banos, initiating what was supposed to be an “impartial investigation” only to discover the outside attorney was a former NOMA board member who had a personal connection with NOMA’s director Susan Taylor dating back decades. Repeated complaints to HR in 2019 finally provoked the first organization-wide “diversity” training in at least six years. At the training, a number of issues were present that signaled the museum’s lack of commitment: 1) there was no outside or impartial mediator; 2) complainants were paired directly with those they had made complaints against which positioned them for future retaliation; 3) the entire staff was forced to view a clip of “Everybody is a Little Bit Racist” from the Broadway musical Avenue Q (which was delivered out of the context of the satirical musical itself). As a result, many employees reported feeling further offended, discouraged, and targeted.
Striking disparities are also apparent in the application of organizational policies along racial lines including:
General refusal to reward or promote qualified Black staff into new roles. For the one Black individual who was offered an opportunity for promotion, new review/approval processes for work duties were put in place by senior leadership that did not exist for white predecessors
The use of homophobic slurs and racist mimicking by individuals in leadership roles including recently retired Deputy Director of Finance and Administration, Gail Asprodites and NOMA’s current Facility Manager, Steve Lewis.
Attempts to enforce gender and racially motivated dress code violations, such as the requested removal of dreadlocks for Black employees.
While it was staff policy that everyone used the rear security entrance to the building, this policy was routinely enforced for Black and LGBTQ staff while upper-level white staff regularly used the front door with impunity.
Facility Management and Administrative leadership using the closed circuit security camera system to surveil the movements of targeted employees.
Inequitable adherence to guidelines for paid leave including both funeral and sick leave for Black employees vs. their white counterparts, including instances of the loss of immediate family members and major medical afflictions.
Wage disparity for entry to mid-level staff - where nearly all of NOMA’s Black employees are found - are paid $15,000 - $45,000 yearly with no opportunity for meaningful raises. On the other hand, NOMA’s senior staff and directors receive compensation ranging from $100,000 to nearly $450,000 annually.
On a national level, major philanthropic funders of the arts across the country such as the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Walton Family Foundation, and the Ford Foundation have spearheaded initiatives to diversify museum boards and leadership. A former BIPOC American Council of Learned Societies Public Fellow at NOMA, whose position was funded by the Mellon Foundation, reports “during my time at NOMA, some staff looked at me with disdain and suspicion, I was given no budget whatsoever, and I was discouraged from forming meaningful connections with Trustees. Susan Taylor was initially patronizing and later became openly hostile towards me. I remember her insistence that I not mention race when discussing the founding of the museum, or other museums/museum-related organizations. And I especially remember Taylor telling me that she was unsure of whether I could be a true ambassador of the museum since all I did every day was ‘ask people how racist do you think NOMA is.'” NOMA continues to capitalize on these funding opportunities with current youth programs, funded by the Walton Family Foundation and the Ford Foundation, aimed at diversifying the future of museum leadership while at the same time refusing to make much-needed structural changes, sending mixed signals to the youth participating in these programs.
In addition to internal racism and bias, there are countless reported incidents of Black school groups, interns and visitors feeling targeted and harassed by white staff while visiting NOMA as recently as February 2020. Front desk associates at NOMA received daily feedback from Black visitors, many 3rd & 4th generation New Orleanians, stating that they have never felt welcomed or represented at the museum. These concerns were brought up in departmental meetings repeatedly and reported to HR only to be buried or dismissed.
The anti-Black culture at the New Orleans Museum of Art is pervasive.
We are taking a stand and demanding that NOMA make the changes outlined below (we are inspired by our comrades at For the Culture 2020):
We demand NOMA stop all forms of performative allyship, Black tokenism, and virtue signaling immediately.
We demand a public apology from NOMA on noma.org and all social media avenues to all Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) & LGBTQ former and current employees who have experienced discrimination and aggression at the institution, as well as an apology to the New Orleans community for failing to provide a safe space for visitors.
We demand the immediate removal of the following NOMA administrators who have facilitated this toxic culture: Director Susan Taylor, Deputy Director Anne Banos, Facility Manager Steve Lewis, and Human Resources Manager Donna Dunn (and replace HR with at least two qualified individuals).
We demand the hiring of more Black curators! Hire and retain a cohort of Black and People of Color on the board of trustees and in leadership positions in the staff.
We demand a complete and independent investigation of the origins and history of ownership of all African and Indigenous objects in the museum. This investigation must take place in collaboration with DismantleNOMA representatives, independent BIPOC curators and representatives from the respective countries for the expressed purpose of returning all sacred and religious objects to their country/people of origin.
We demand that NOMA actively support locally-based BIPOC artists and creators by acquiring and exhibiting their work.
We demand that NOMA actively support locally-based BIPOC arts and cultural institutions by forming meaningful and mutually beneficial partnerships and sharing resources and platforms.
We demand an equitable redistribution of departmental budgets and staff wages that includes a permanent policy that all employees and contract workers make a living wage.
We demand a mandatory formal, independent investigation into all complaints made to HR and museum leadership regarding BIPOC bias, LGBTQ bias, gender bias, and sexual harassment during current director Susan Taylor’s 10-year tenure. NOMA must immediately dissolve all NDA’s for current and former employees so that the findings of this investigation can be released publicly no later than 12/31/2020.
We demand that NOMA will implement a safe and unbiased system for reporting workplace discrimination and racial bias to be evaluated externally by a council composed of independent BIPOC and LGBTQ stakeholders, including representatives from DismantleNOMA. NOMA must standardize anti-racist training for all current and future NOMA staff.
We demand that NOMA announce and implement anti-racism as an explicit part of their mission; structural changes that come out of this new mission are to be supported by policies, procedures, and budgets that are aligned with clearly articulated equity outcomes.
We demand that NOMA create and equitably fund a permanent Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Inclusion department with at least two full-time staff.
We demand transparency in institutional operations, acquisitions, and collections.
We demand these terms with the support of a far-reaching network of colleagues, artists, activists, and community leaders. This letter is an invitation to engage so that together we can help build the framework for real and necessary change at NOMA. We believe that this institution can begin to heal past wounds and authentically serve the New Orleans community.
Our collective is joining the call to action with our colleagues from around the world! If you would like to join us in this stand, please SIGN HERE and/or contact us at DismantleNOMA@gmail.com to share your NOMA experience.
