Prospect.6: The Future Is Present, The Harbinger Is Home
CurrentSep 17, 2024 – Feb 2, 2025
For Prospect’s sixth iteration, co-Artistic Directors Miranda Lash and Ebony G. Patterson highlight New Orleans’ role as a global city situated in the future, where questions around survival, continuance, and joy are being asked in advance of other places. Prospect.6: The Future Is Present, The Harbinger Is Home looks to New Orleans as a signal of the future, in conversation with regions of the world that have long experienced the effects of climate change, labor migration, and histories of colonialism. As a venue for Prospect.6, Newcomb Art Museum features artworks by Bethany Collins, Arlette Quỳnh-Anh Trần, and Clarissa Tossin–whose historical research informs their investigations into the future of nationalism and national identity.
