P.5 Prospect New Orleans

Prospect 5: “Yesterday we said Tomorrow”

Currently on view: October 30th, 2021 - January 23rd, 2022

Prospect.5: Yesterday we said tomorrow is the fifth edition of Prospect New Orleans, a citywide art exhibition. Inspired by New Orleans jazz musician Christian Scott a Tunde Adjuah’s 2010 album Yesterday You Said Tomorrow, the title of the exhibition centers the unspoken present, the place where past and future come together, and where other courses of action become possible. The exhibition title also implies the deferral of meaningful change, which often comes slowly or not at all. The artists and ideas that define this exhibition confront this truth, and the stark realities of history, but also suggest that we might yet plot a different future. NOAAM features three internationally-known artists: Paul Stephen Benjamin, Dineo Seshee Bopape, and Kameelah Janan Rasheed.
