The Katrina Decade grew out of Spielman’s book of the same name, which THNOC published in July, and the Golden paintings’ acquisition was made possible by the Diana Helis Henry Art Fund of The Helis Foundation.

Together, the two exhibitions represent the duality of recovery, one experienced by many residents as they worked to resolve myriad practical problems while carrying heavy emotional burdens.
“What [Spielman’s] images can tell us is that although a tremendous amount of recovery has happened in the last 10 years, there is still a lot to go,” Lawrence said. “With Golden’s work, people can react to them in a very wide range of feelings and emotions.” —MOLLY REID
