The government's response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina was tragically slow and uninspired — but the love, resources, and support devoted by citizens, from Habitat for Humanity volunteers to video artist Paul Chan, were profound. Occasioned by the A+D Museum's ongoing exhibition of the same name, After the Flood is a site-specific dance-and-movement piece that uses pathos, humor, and art to trace the fortunes of New Orleans citizens and literary characters — all inspired by true events and the homegrown literature of Tennessee Williams and Andrei Codrescu. The exhibition additionally displays innovative architectural models for the city's rebuilding, with supporting documentary photography.
