Prospect New Orleans is a citywide contemporary art triennial and the first exhibition of its kind in the US with a decade-long history.
Prospect.5: Yesterday we said tomorrow is the fifth edition of Prospect New Orleans. Inspired by New Orleans jazz musician Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah’s 2010 album Yesterday You Said Tomorrow, the title of the exhibition centers the unspoken present, the place where past and future come together, and where other courses of action become possible. The exhibition title also implies the deferral of meaningful change, which often comes slowly or not at all. The artists and ideas that define this exhibition confront this truth, and the stark realities of history, but also suggest that we might yet plot a different future.
I was invited to be the P.5 official photographer — documenting installations, exhibits, community events, and art activations across the city.
