In
the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the visions of masked all night parties
and debaucherous behavior typically asociated with New Orleans have
turned somber as the city works to rebuild from the tragedy. Powered by
the unbreakable spirit of New Orleans inhabitants artist, designer, and
TED speaker Candy Chang has created an inspired work of street art
called Before I die in NOLA.
The
installation captures the enduring spirit of this struggling community.
Before I die in NOLA is interactive. It is, literally, a massive street
level chalkboard that allows the community members to write down their
goals and dreams for all to see. Chang’s work was produced on the side
of an abandoned building and constructed with the simple tools of
primer, chalkboard paint, stencils, spray paint, and chalk. It doesn't
take a lot to change the world.
