Oskar Sonnen will accompany me to Biloxi and Mobile this coming Nov. 15th to Nov. 22nd.
We will be meeting with Community Empowerment Coordinator Trinh Le from the East Biloxi Coordination, Relief and Redevelopment Agency and with Developer of Housing First Enterprises Emile Wilson from Housing First, Inc. in Mobile. Both are 2008 New Voices Fellows.
We will also have the great opportunity to meet with Deanne Nuwer from the Katrina Research Center at the University of Southern Mississippi and at with Susan Fitzsimmons, head of the Art Department. Curator Anna Harris at the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art in Biloxi and Jason Clark, gallery manager and exhibitions coordinator at Space 301 in Mobile, Alabama have also gracefully accepted to meet with us. We are extremely excited to say the least and look forward to posting photos from our trip when we get back to Houston.
Until then!
