The New Orleans African American Museum(NOAAM) is proud to announce the debut of a new exhibition, The Katrina List: An Untold Story of Hurricane Katrina, in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Presented in partnership with The Katrina National Memorial Foundation (KNMF), this exhibition honors the work of KNMF founder, R. Omar Casimire, whose efforts to document and memorialize the human impact of the storm have preserved stories that history nearly erased. Through this partnership, NOAAM brings forward artifacts, oral histories, and carefully preserved materials once held privately, now accessible for the public’s reflection.
Through a poignant assemblage of survivor testimonies, photographs, documents, and oral histories, the exhibition brings a thoughtful narrative arc to the exhibition, unveiling Casimire’s grassroots archive that chronicles the lives of over 10,000 individuals who were stranded, unprotected, and nearly forgotten in the chaotic aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Casimire, who remained in New Orleans during and after the storm, documented rescued survivors’ experiences, and meticulously compiled “The Katrina List”—an ambitious project seeking justice for those abandoned by systemic failures. The Katrina List: An Untold Story of Hurricane Katrina will remain on view through August 30, 2026. For more information, including public programming and special events, please visit NOAAM’s website.  On select Wednesdays, NOMA presents a new series of gallery talks featuring conversations with musicians about their creative processes, followed by a short, intimate performance inspired by a work on view at the museum. The first in the series features Sam Dickey.
Details: Wed, June 25th, from 6:00 PM - 6:30 PM. Click here for more info |
