Red Bean City is a museum exhibit on the history of Red Beans in New Orleans created by Bent Media and Camellia Brand at the Southern Food and Beverage Museum. The grand opening to kick off the exhibit had a round table discussion about Red Beans and Rice with Chef Leah Chase. We also raised a birthday toast to New Orleans’ most famous red bean lover, jazz hero Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong, while being serenaded by Al “Carnival Time” Johnson.

The Red Bean City exhibit explores how and why this beloved dish is an unstoppable weekly ritual and a symbol of local culture and way of life in New Orleans. The Hayward family of Camellia Beans tells their story going all the way back to 1836, and you’ll get a look at how a New Orleans trumpet player, a small army of creole cooks, a chicken king’s secret chef, and the people of New Orleans helped propel the red kidney bean to worldwide acclaim.

Bent Media is proud to present a recently launched project: A Closer Walk: Interactive New Orleans Music History Map, developed in conjunction with our longtime partners the Ponderosa Stomp Foundation and WWOZ 90.7 FM New Orleans.

Music has always been integral to daily life in New Orleans, and its landmarks can blend into its neighborhoods. The history of the city’s music, and its outsized influence in popular music everywhere, can be traced to creole cottages, parlors, churches, and street corners as well as concert halls and auditoriums. Some are still active; others have been transformed or demolished. A Closer Walk highlights and contextualizes these sites, to advocate for their future, to celebrate their memory, and to honor the men and women who have shared their music with us.
