More about the event:
Operation Dream: A Futurespective for New Orleans, Another 20 Years Post-Katrina is an art exhibition embodying the community’s vision for New Orleans over the next 20 years and marks the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. A united assembly of artists, community members, organizations, and cultural leaders have come together to share their collective aspirations for the future of this vibrant city while reflecting on its past.
Can’t Stop Change: Queer Climate Stories from the Florida Frontlines is a film that weaves interviews with 15 LGBTQ2S+ artists, organizers, and educators across Florida (and the new Florida diaspora) into an intersectional climate justice narrative. As we look towards future hurricane seasons and legislative cycles, how can we work with the changes to come to shape the futures we want?
This event is part of the arts & public health programming at the Celia Scott Weatherhead School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. This series of programming and art exhibitions are presented with generous support from the Collins C. Diboll Foundation.
