• Artist a Day Challenge 2016-9: Brandan Odums & Noirlinians Usher in New Wave of Art in NOLA

  Laissez le bon temps rouler! I’ve got New Orleans on my mind, so I thought I’d use today’s post to shine a light on the art that’s being made in the Crescent City today. Steeped in tradition, plagued by disaster and portrayed as a crown jewel of urban renewal, New Orleans is a multifaceted and deeply…

• Candy Chang x Ted: Blight Turned Into Might

  One of the most memorable moments of my trip to New Orleans last year was stumbling upon Candy Chang’s “Before I Die” wall during a bike tour. Last week Ted featured a speech by the NOLA artist recorded this summer.  It is a touching self portrait of the artist sharing the sentiment behind an introspective…

• NOLA Part II

• “Be Nice or Leave”: A trip through the “new” New Orleans

  One thing that my trip to New Orleans taught me is that the devastation of Katrina did not wash away the spirit of this city.  There is a palpable sense of change that looms over the Crescent City, but despite this, you are guaranteed to be greeted with a “Lassez le Bon Temps Roule” and…
