An artspace exhibition in August of 2006 presented the words and faces of the devastating natural disaster that touched so many in Louisiana—Faces of Katrina. The story of an elephant keeper from the Audubon Zoo who never left her elephants during the storm, words from then Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu, and other personal accounts by more than 100 Gulf Coast evacuees, survivors, rescuers, and the volunteers who helped them made up William Joyce’s documentary tribute. Thousands of visitors to artspace read the stories and viewed the large-format photography by Shreveporters Stan Carpenter, Kathryn Gaiennie, Talbot Hopkins and Mike Silva as well as New Orleans photographer Philip Gould.
