Prospect.5 Satellite Program Artist, Sarrah Danziger, has been documenting New Orleans community members for over a decade. In “Listen to New Orleans'' (@listentoneworleans) Danzinger features nine stories from residents that explore how the deep history of New Orleans’s past is shaping its present.
Danziger has embedded weatherproof signs throughout New Orleans at each story location. Listeners can dial the phone numbers on the signs to hear oral histories from long-term residents of New Orleans about the place at which they stand that no longer exists, and what was lost as a result.
Join us on Saturday December 11th, at The Tigermen Den (@the_tigermen_den), 3113 Royal St, from 7–9:30pm, to celebrate the launch of “Listen to New Orleans” with a ONE NIGHT ONLY pop-up exhibit and reception.
