Nanih Bvlbancha Unveiling

Prospect New Orleans is honored to announce the unveiling of the third and final piece of its groundbreaking Artists of Public Memory commission: Nanih Bvlbancha, a profound project led and created by an esteemed intertribal collective of Louisiana Indigenous artists and creative practitioners, including Ida Aronson, Dr. Tammy Greer, Jenna Mae, Ozone 504, and Monique Verdin. This permanent work is set to unveil Saturday, April 6th from 10am–3pm at Lafitte Greenway (1900 Lafitte Ave.).

Nanih Bvlbancha not only commemorates the historical significance of earthen mounds but also reignites a sacred space for dialogue, remembrance, and cultural exchange. This project embodies the spirit of rewilding, community, gathering/togetherness, education, and ingenuity/thrivance, offering a platform for traditional and contemporary expressions of identity and belonging.

Join us Saturday, April 6 from 10am–3pm to engage with the space, its myriad stories, Indigenous crafts, food, and games. Prospect New Orleans extends a warm invitation to everyone to witness this transformative project, which bridges past, present, and future, celebrating the collective memory and ongoing narrative of our vibrant city.
