NewOrleans+Americorps+Awesome

My name is Bill.

I just moved to New Orleans. I took a year long position through the Digital Arts Service Corps at the Community Center of St Bernard Parish. I'm pretty excited.

I'm also a project based artist, here are some projects I have done/am doing.

This past weekend a coworker and I went into the wetlands of South Eastern Louisiana. We went to see a memorial for all the victims of Katrina in St. Bernard Parish. We passed through a number of tiny fishing villages and on our way back we stopped at a dock that had a sign up that read, “Shrimp for Sale”. This pirate of a man shoveled us up some shrimp and gave it to us in a bag. He asked me what I was doing in Louisiana and I said AmeriCorps. His reply was, yall deal with much shrimp in that AmeriCorps? I didnt know how to respond.
