New Orleans artists mark 20 years since Hurricane Katrina
An ongoing group exhibition titled "This City Holds Us" at Ferrara Showman Gallery in New Orleans marks the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. The show, which opened on White Linen Night, features work by ten artists affected by the storm and focuses on the city's recovery and artistic reinvestment rather than the destruction. Gallery founder Jonathan Ferrara and director Matthew Weldon Showman curated the exhibition to honor the past while celebrating progress, with artists submitting written testimonies about how the storm shaped their lives and practices.
