*foreverNOLA | ON THE GREENWAY
The core of the first phase of every project we undertake, what we call 'Pre-Design Research', is engaging with the project's stakeholders to better understand their respective needs. We are approaching our vision for the city's long term future like any other project and the central component of our installation in Venice will be our engagement with this project's stakeholders: i.e. New Orleanians. One way we tried to engage as many residents as possible was by staging an interactive installation along the Lafitte Greenway and other public corridors in the city, allowing passersby to weigh-in and inform the project's process.
We staged (3) versions of the installation at the Lafitte Greenway Partnership’s Supernova event in December 2024 and then at the locations along the Lafitte Greenway for (60) days in early 2025. The disassembled components of the installation and the collected commentary have been re-purposed for the exhibition at the Venice Biennale.
