New Video: Elizabeth Underwood - Remembering Katrina PDF Print E-mail
Monday, 28 August 2006
In our series, "The Katrina Tapes," we brought you a gripping video of New Orleans artist Elizabeth Underwood just hours after she had returned from viewing the devastation to her home and her life's work.

In today's 2-minute video, we caught up with Underwood in Austin, Texas -- her temporary home -- where she was preparing a Katrina memorial for a group show at The Dougherty Arts Center. I watched as Underwood wrote by hand all the names of those who died in Hurricane Katrina. Listen to how she used the list in her memorial installation.

In a ritual at the Dougherty Arts Center tomorrow, August 29, beginning at 9:30 a.m., Underwood and volunteers will recite all 1900 names. Her memorial service is just one of the thousands of Katrina anniversary events being held throughout the world.
