New Orleans rests in a dynamic landscape that has undergone monumental change to accommodate the city built here. This mural project will reflect on the legacy of people carving a life out of this shifting environment. Murals on the playground fence will be composed of three vignettes, beginning with people traveling through Bulbancha on boats, flowing into the transformation of the swamp into the neighborhoods we know today, and concluding with a vision of a future that strikes a balance between those neighborhoods and the natural environment they rest on. The mural painted on the basketball court is inspired by Harold Fisk’s 1944 Mississippi river map. The artist will work with community members to gather images, stories, and histories to inform the final design.
