About the event
On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans — but the storm was only part of the disaster. Broken levees, government neglect, and systemic inequities turned tragedy into catastrophe.
In the days that followed, thousands waited for relief at the Convention Center. Local resident Omar Casimere began writing their names by hand. Nearly 7,000 entries later, The Katrina List stands as a testament to both grief and resilience.
This exhibit is free the 3rd Saturday of every month for Louisiana residents
