A photo essay by Thomas Dworzak, Stanley Greene, Kadir van Lohuizen and Paolo Pellegrin
March 19 through May 7
You are most welcome at the opening on
Saturday March 18 at 5.00 PM
by mr. Jan Mets of Mets & Schilt Publishers
in presence of Kadir van Lohuizen.
Thomas Dworzak (Germany), Stanley Greene (US), Kadir van
Lohuizen (Netherlands) and Paolo Pellegrin (Italy) visited New Orleans
and Biloxi in the months after the disaster. They came to the
conclusion that it was not Katrina which had caused the most
damage, but the failures of the American government. Money that had
been allocated for strengthening the dikes has been diverted for the
war in Iraq. Aid for the region, which to a large extent was populated
by poor blacks, was exasperatingly slow in arriving. 'Had Katrina hit
New York, it would never have been like that,' says Kadir van
Lohuizen.
New Orleans is still a scene of devastation, and bodies are still being
recovered. Of the half-million residents only 60,000, overwhelmingly
black, have returned. 'The largest part of the black population are not
welcome any more,' explains Van Lohuizen. 'It is clear that project
developers have their eye on the ground where their homes stood.
One could call it ethnic cleansing.'
The photos from the exhibition are
published in the new magazine The Issue.
At the opening of the exhibition the first
issue will be presented. The large format
magazine was initiated by Mets & Schilt
Publishers
