L. Kaismu Harris reflects on his connection to image-making through personal history, cultural preservation and artistic resolve in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in his article “Capturing the Soul of the South”, published in Frieze, Issue 247 November/December 2024.
Documenting the fading Black-owned bars and cultural spaces of New Orleans, Harris’ series, ‘Vanishing Black Bars & Lounges’, captures memories and moments resistant to gentrification – a testament to the resilience of Black culture amidst change and displacement.
