Prospect New Orleans, the contemporary art triennial, launched after Hurricane Katrina to rejuvenate the city, now adopts a new narrative under curators Miranda Lash and Ebony G. Patterson. Their exhibition, titled "The Future Is Present, The Harbinger Is Home," reframes New Orleans as a resilient city rather than one needing rescue. It suggests that other cities facing similar challenges can learn from New Orleans' adaptability. The show features 51 artists and emphasizes the city's experience with climate change, colonial history, and institutional issues, offering valuable insights for a world grappling with such crises.
Lash and Patterson have redefined the narrative around New Orleans, portraying it as a resilient city, a model for survival rather than one in need of rescue.
Ebony G. Patterson remarked that the exhibition's framework suggests New Orleans is not just a place suffering from disasters, but thriving amidst them.
