Swing by the library’s Blowers Gallery to see local photographer Maureen Simon’s New Orleans…Honoring her resilience, her heart, exhibition on display from November 9th – December 16. An opening reception will be held in the gallery at 6p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 10.
Simon’s exhibit showcases New Orleans 10 years after Hurricane Katrina. The exhibit includes photographs from the Ninth Ward and the story of Kimberly Rivers-Roberts and her husband, Scott, who were unable to evacuate and remained in New Orleans through Hurricane Katrina. They are the subject of the Oscar-nominated documentary, Trouble the Water, which will play in the gallery throughout the exhibition.
The exhibit and reception are free and open to the public; the photographs will be on view in the Blowers Gallery during regular library hours. For more information, visit library.unca.edu or call 828.251.6436.
