5TH ANNUAL STATE OF THE NATION FESTIVAL COMING TO NEW ORLEANS
We are a city and a nation on the verge.
As the country teeters on the brink of economic collapse, artists nationwide will converge in New Orleans for five days of performances, workshops and dialogues around the theme of the tipping point. The festival will explore the intersection of art and activism through the presentation of original performance, music, film, spoken word, visual art installation, workshops, community dialogues and site-specific events. It will feature more than 100 artists from the Gulf Coast and the larger U.S. including Mississippi, Baltimore, D.C., Maryland, California, Hawaii, New York and beyond!
