\nFive Brown University Library exhibits, including a virtual exhibit of hurricane damage to Gulf Coast libraries, will commemorate the 4th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina through photographs, poetry, music, historical documents, and video footage. Part of the University-wide “Katrina, Katrina” project’s extensive slate of programming, all Library exhibits are free, public, and open through the end of September.
\nThe Orwig Music Library hosts a Katrina Music and Musicians Exhibit <\/strong>as well as a single-channel projection installation by Robbie Byron entitled “No Tap Shoes Allowed,” <\/strong>which reworks collaged footage from the Katrina aftermath so that the footage itself appears to have been damaged, aiming to “interrogate the relationship of cultural and political justification to the rise and fall of a community, lifestyle and state.” On display in the lobby of the Rockefeller Library are the Katrina Authors Exhibit <\/strong>and a series of photographs by Ian Sims ‘10.5 called “6 Months After.” <\/strong>The images, Sims says, document New Orleans’ efforts to rebuild its structures and its spirit in the face of indifference, profiteering, racism, and classism. Next door in the John Hay Library Lobby, Katrina-inspired poetry and historic New Orleans sheet music <\/strong>from the Harris Collection of American Poetry and Plays will be on display. Visitors to the Brown libraries can view images of the state of Gulf Coast libraries post-hurricane by visiting an online exhibit at http:\/\/dl.lib.brown.edu\/gateway\/lrg.php?id=615<\/a>
