One Block: A New Orleans Neighborhood Rebuilds by Dave Anderson and Destroy This Memory by Richard Misrach, both new books from Aperture, document and reflect on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans’ road to recovery. On the occasion of the 5th anniversary of Katrina, these projects provide valuable and powerful portraits of the storm’s impact. Recent profiles on the New York Times Lens Blog, Nola.com, NPR provide insight into these bodies of work and now a number of upcoming events in New Orleans will bring the photographers and the work itself to New Orleans. Commemorate the past five years in New Orleans at the following exhibitions, events and block party taking place this week:
