  • The House of Dance and Feathers Mardi Gras Indian Museum—New Orleans, LA
    The House of Dance and Feathers Mardi Gras Indian Museum—New Orleans, LA Project Locus: Patrick Rhodes, Executive Director In the months following Hurricane Katrina the forces of nature seemed to have defeated New Orleans. Profession- als questioned the wisdom of rebuilding a city lying largely below sea level on a storm-prone coast, and government officials seemed helpless in organizing the cleanup and beginning a rebuilding process. As recovery plans got under way elsewhere on the Gulf Coast, it seemed New Orleans, and especially its poor, largely African-American districts, would remain forever in ruin. Some residents, however, refused to accept this pros- pect. For them, New Orleans was not a “disaster waiting to happen again”—a possible trap—but rather home to a vibrant community with a rich cultural heritage. One of these was a community activist, Ronald Lewis. In the Lower Ninth Ward, Lewis was known as the founder and curator of the House of Dance and Feathers Mardi Gras Indian Museum. Housed in a garage alongside his home, the museum had contained an extensive collection of relics celebrating the city’s African-American heritage, including costumes from its largely forgotten “second-line” Mardi Gras festivities. Like most structures in the Lower Ninth Ward, the museum was destroyed by the flooding that followed the storm. But its redesign and reconstruction eloquently express the importance of rebuilding New Orleans as a living city, rather than a tourist site. At the core of the effort was an activist collaboration between Lewis and the architect and educator Patrick Rhodes, but it also involved countless hours of volunteer work by students, profession- als, and community residents, aided by a significant grant from the Charles Engelhard Foundation.

During this period, New Orleans’ vendors labored in the streets of diverse neighborhoods where they did more than sell a vital commodity. As “Nourishing Networks” demonstrates, the food economy provided the disenfranchised—people of color, women, and recent migrants—a means to connect themselves to the public culture of the city, despite legal prohibitions intended to keep them on the margins. Those who were legally marginalized exercised considerable influence over the city’s public culture, shaping both economic and social interactions among urban residents in the public sphere.

  • 2021 Visitor Safety Statement Updated June 2021
    2021 Visitor Safety Statement Updated June 2021 Overview As one of the world’s most celebrated and iconic destinations for leisure visitors, global meetings and conventions, major cultural festivals and national sporting championships, New Orleans welcomes millions of travelers and countless corporations and organizations each year with revelry and joy. Our cultural authenticity, joie de vivre and the fact that we are organically built to host, result in an unequalled success and travel experience in New Orleans like nowhere else, with every trip and gathering producing a world class memory. New Orleans & Company and its hospitality partners flourish with great relationships with the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) and Superintendent/Chief of Police Shaun Ferguson and his senior team. New Orleans & Company partners with and engages the top leadership of the NOPD on all elements, locations and activities of every gathering and convention so they may be available not only to meet and discuss all of a group’s priorities and requirements, but to ensure coverage around convention venues and all areas where specific events are occurring. NOPD creates a deployment plan designed specifically for the needs of that group. As the world successfully emerges from the pandemic, the safety and wellbeing of our visitors and residents is our number one priority in New Orleans. This fall, New Orleans will host many major conventions and meetings, huge cultural events including French Quarter Festival, Voodoo Festival and the world-famous New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, just to name a few, so we ask visitors to use the same personal safety precautions, and to stay vigilant, as they would at home and in any metropolitan destination.
