The Unending Stream is a two-part exhibition that showcases the thriving community of photographers in New Orleans. The title of the exhibition pays homage to a Clarence John Laughlin photograph of the same title, which is a part of the permanent collection at Ogden Museum of Southern Art. Laughlin’s seminal work, created between the 1930s and 1950s, is an important chapter in the long-storied relationship between New Orleans and photography. Following in his visionary footsteps, this exhibition focuses on emerging and underrepresented photographers who continue to focus on the South through poetic imagery.The Unending Stream celebrates New Orleans’ continuing role as one of America’s most important cultural capitals while also highlighting the role that the arts have played in revitalizing the region for the past twenty years since Hurricane Katrina.
