In New Orleans, the spot where a statue of Robert E. Lee once stood is now home to a depiction of an African deity. The installation by acclaimed sculptor Simone Leigh is part of"Prospect New Orleans," a once-every-three-years event that invites contributions from artists all over the world. The exhibitions are usually temporary, but that's seeing a big change this time around.
"And so to have a Black female figure at the center of the city, I hope says that you can be inspired by this female figure, but also that how much of an impact Black culture has had on the city, in both the formation of the city, but also the continued life and the continued energy of the city," she said.
The project was awarded a $2 million grant from the Mellon Foundation to create a new age of monuments. "As we invite artists to the city of New Orleans to make work about New Orleans, they're also making work about the issues that affect New Orleans the most," said"Prospect" Board Chairman Chris Alfieri."Climate change, social justice, these are issues that affect all of us."
Our future is going to be very chaotic if we can't snap out of this propaganda soon.
Climate change and social justice are all man made terms that don't really mean anything!! It's terms that make us live in fear!!
Then there’s this little thing called crime that is actually killing people.
That really makes since an African goddess used in false worship in Africa is erected in New Orleans.I wonder what the Christians there think about that.Not to mention the many Churches there.
Nope Waste of money. Grow small businesses.
Aren't people who belive in social justice and climate change the ones burning cities and rioting?
BLM riots should be a painting
