A huge congratulations to founders Hali Dardar and Ida Aronson for both being 2024 #Louisiana World Makers!

"We believe that being a culturally-rooted Louisiana artist can be a radical act. We believe that resourcing artists and culture bearers to do their work in Louisiana is absolutely essential to the well-being—cultural, social, political, communal, spiritual, and ecological—of Louisiana. In order to create a more just Louisiana, we must ensure that artists and culture bearers, especially those who are born and raised in Louisiana, have the ability to stay and thrive in their communities...

Selected from over 152 applicants, the World Makers' work addresses critical issues facing our communities, including climate impacts, mass incarceration, cultural memory and legacy, and the displacement and erasure of Black and Indigenous communities."

They are joined on that list with other #IndigenousGulf community members. 💞 #Indigenous @noladon #NOLA #Bulbancha
