Creole World: Photographs of New Orleans and the Latin Caribbean Sphere
This colorful exhibit showcases nearly 50 vibrant images from renowned photographer Richard Sexton. New Orleans is known for its distinctive Creole heritage – evident in its food, architecture, and people – but it is part of an entire family of Latin Caribbean cities that forged new identities from their colonial histories. This exhibition will explore these connections, featuring the work of renowned photographer Richard Sexton. Over the course of 38 years (1975-2013), Sexton traveled across Latin America – from Haiti, Columbia, Argentina, Cuba, and Ecuador back home to New Orleans – capturing the architectural and urban similarities among these culturally rich locales. This exhibition is from the Historic New Orleans Collection.
