A harbinger can be foreboding. The origins of this word, however, point towards a host, a harbor, or a scout who makes a safe space for others. Prospect.6:
The Future Is Present, The Harbinger Is Home looks to New Orleans as a signal of the future, in conversation with regions of the world that have long experienced the effects of climate change, labor migration and histories of colonialism. Together these places offer sanctuaries and indicators of the yearnings and tensions that will define our collective future.

![For “Prospect.6: The Future Is Present, The Harbinger Is Home,” @ateamer created “Claiborne: The Next Millennia.”
Teamer's collages remix landscapes of the southern Gulf region, examining its contentious history of water and land mismanagement and ongoing infrastructure collapse. In this new work, Teamer conjoins two fish eye photographs in a butterfly shape, which she then layers with other photographic material.
“Claiborne: The Next Millennia” presents New Orleans' Claiborne Avenue. The oldest section of Claiborne traverses Tremé, one of the oldest neighborhoods in New Orleans and the first historically Black neighborhood in the country.
Teamer organizes her materials based on their narrative content and composition and then fits them together like a puzzle. The obvious stitching references roads and roots, which serve decorative, structural and metaphorical purposes.
@prospect_nola is on view at Ogden Museum and throughout the City of New Orleans through February 2.
