Karen Edmunds (New Orleans, LA) and Mary Perrin (Lafayette, LA), artists affected by the Hurricanes in 2005, have collaborated on a multi-media story/performance on their experiences after Katrina and Rita. They will perform their “Storm Stories” for Nashville and surrounding communities.
Storm Stories is a dialogue between Edmunds and Perrin who share their experiences of the hurricane season of 2005 in south Louisiana. Karen Edmunds, from New Orleans, did not evacuate immediately from the onslaught of Hurricane Katrina, nor did Mary Perrin, from Lafayette, LA, evacuate from Hurricane Rita a month later.
Sometimes silly, sometimes sad, they tell their stories of fear, frustration, grief but which end ultimately in triumph. It is the hope that this exhibition inspires healing. Approached with respect and reverence, TSU treats the topics of the Hurricanes of 2005 with care. The artwork that artist make is but only a small, however not unimportant part of the larger story that these events tell.
