“Edge of Tomorrow: Aerial Views of Louisiana’s Changing Coastline” 

Discover the beauty and fragility of Louisiana’s endangered wetlands through the lens of acclaimed artist and documentary photographer Ben Depp. In this newly acquired series of 11 large-format prints, Depp takes viewers on a soaring journey above the marshes and bayous, offering rare glimpses of the vibrant, imperiled ecosystems that lie just beyond Louisiana’s protective levees. Depp uses a paraglider to take his photographs, and his images capture the drama of both the landscape and the artist’s method, while sharing the urgency of this ongoing environmental dilemma. See this exhibit at The Historic New Orleans Collection from March 7 – October 19, 2025.

These artists use diverse media and styles to forge their own distinctive vision, conveying narratives of the Vietnamese Diaspora, both personal and universal. Porcelain and silk, screen prints, photographs, boxing gloves, and more will be on display throughout this exhibit. Catch it from March 15 – September 21, 2025.
