Perelli Drive - An East New Orleans Lenten Season Memorial Art Project

Most of the people who once lived on Perelli Drive in East New Orleans will probably not return home. The shock of losing their homes has only been compounded by the immense confusion over whether or not city, state and federal officials will even allow people in East New Orleans to rebuild. This memorial art project is dedicated to preserving the memory of one home out of the tens of thousands that were destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.
