The Sawyer Seminar at Tulane University presents a panel discussion featuring Dr. Lorraine Leu, Sara Zewde, Freddi Williams Evans, moderated by Dr. Adrian Anagnost and featuring a performance from Luther Gray and Mestre Curtis Pierre and Casa Samba.

This discussion is part of a three-part series of events, Sites of Memory: New Orleans and Rio de Janeiro: Exploring urban displacement in Treme and Valongo Wharf, highlighting community activism in New Orleans and Rio de Janeiro as ways to challenge disinvestment in Afro-descendant neighborhoods and raising questions about the tendency for these places to be subordinated to outward-facing urban “renewal”.

Free and open for all to attend, this panel will take place at the Diboll Gallery in the Tulane Commons on the uptown campus. This event will be enforcing Tulane COVID-19 policies regarding face-coverings and vaccination statuses, please check online at https://tulane.edu/covid-19 for the most recent updates.
