Here's some shameless self promotion:
AORTA Projects is pleased to announce the unveiling of mixed media artist Courtney Egan’s “Deep Water Dates” installation along Franklin Avenue. Expanding her 2007 AORTA Projects installation in Mid-City, Ms. Egan has installed approximately 25 anodized aluminum plaques along Franklin Avenue marking flood levels of the Federal levee break catastrophe at each specific point. Using personally collected stories from first hand witnesses, “Deep Water Dates” aims more for cultural than historical accuracy and in the process keeps one engaged with the intimate task of honoring one’s history while moving forward with one’s recovery.
“Deep Water Dates” will be unveiled Saturday Dec 20th from 1-4 pm, light refreshments compliments of Whole Foods will be served. Please visit www.aortaprojects.blogspot.com for further information and feel free to contact us with any questions – Elizabeth Underwood, Director, 504-388-9844
