Join photographers Kael Alford and Ben Depp as they discuss their photographic practice of documenting Louisiana’s disappearing coastline – the front line of America’s struggle with coastal land loss and climate change. The conversation will take place in the Museum’s historic Patrick F. Taylor Library and will be moderated by Ogden Museum’s Curator of Photography, Richard McCabeLouisiana is shrinking. The state loses an area of land the size of a football field every 30 minutes to coastal erosion due to both man-made intervention and natural disasters. Kael Alford’s Bottom of Da Boot: Louisiana’s Disappearing Coast series documents South Louisiana communities most effected by land loss – Pointe-aux-Chenes and Isle de Jean Charles. Meanwhile, Ben Depp captures aerial images of the rapidly shifting landscape of Southern Louisiana while piloting a powered paraglider. Since 2014, Depp has been flying above the bayous and wetlands of southern Louisiana photographing evidence of the disappearing landscape.
