New Orleans Photography Exhibition at UNC Asheville
New Orleans…Honoring her resilience, her heart, an exhibit of photographs by local photographer Maureen Simon, will be on view November 9 – December 16, 2015, in Blowers Gallery, in UNC Asheville’s Ramsey Library.
Simon’s exhibit showcases New Orleans 10 years after Hurricane Katrina. The exhibit includes photographs from the Ninth Ward and the story of Kimberly Rivers-Roberts and her husband, Scott, who were unable to evacuate and remained in New Orleans through Hurricane Katrina. They are the subject of the Oscar-nominated documentary, Trouble the Water, which will play in the gallery throughout the exhibition.
The exhibit and reception are free and open to the public; the photographs will be on view in the Blowers Gallery during regular library hours. For more information, visit library.unca.edu or call (828) 251-6436.
