Prospect New Orleans is honored to announce the unveiling of the third and final piece of its groundbreaking Artists of Public Memory commission: Nanih Bvlbancha, a profound project led and created by an esteemed intertribal collective of Louisiana Indigenous artists and creative practitioners, including Ida Aronson, Dr. Tammy Greer, Jenna Mae, Ozone 504, and Monique Verdin. This permanent work is set to unveil Saturday, April 6th from 10am–3pm at Lafitte Greenway (1900 Lafitte Ave).

An Intertribal collective of artists, educators, researchers, gardeners, herbalists, water protectors, land defenders and culture keepers are collaborating as one of the artist teams participating in the Artists of Public Memory commission. The collective and their networks have been working in collaboration with each other and their Indigenous communities to make visible the Intertribal histories and present realities across Louisiana and the Gulf South.
